15 Things Narcissists Don’t Do
Narcissists Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance, sense of
entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration. Because of their basic
sense of worthlessness and redeeming grandeur, they play by different rules
than the rest of us.
Here is a short list of things that healthy people do that you would never see
as a narcissist do
1- They don't take responsibility .
They were immature. who cares? They shouldn't have acted a certain way ... but
who cares? Surely they are not! The narcissist will in no way be held
responsible for his actions. Instead, they will blame others for everything.
The narcissist is deeply averse to responsibility, as he systematically
divides his life to avoid it and becomes adept at denying it and projecting it
onto others, especially those closest to his sphere of authority: his partner
and his children.
2- They won't make you feel good about yourself.
No matter how awesome you are as a human being, a narcissist will always try
to frustrate you. They prefer to make you feel guilty for your actions and
lower your self-esteem.
3- He will never love you.
They will treat you kindly as long as your presence fits with their schedule.
They form an attachment to others but it just depends on how they improve
their life. There is no give and take, just take, take, take. It can seem like
a narcissist loves you. A narcissist can make it seem like love. A narcissist
can say words of love. A narcissist can think it is love. Unfortunately, when
you are dealing with a narcissist, you are involved but not in love. You can
be involved and mistake it for love.
4- They won't do anything for you.
The narcissist does not understand the meaning of mutual giving. Everything
has to be about him. He won't do anything to make you feel good, which will
make you happy. A narcissist only does the things that make him or her happy.
You exist for the purpose of the narcissist's benefit. You are an "extension"
of the narcissist. He does not see you separated from himself, has desires,
needs and desires of your own.
5- They will not appreciate what you do in your life.
You may have a great career but they will never praise you. Instead, they will
point out the flaws that make you feel bad and demoralize you. You give
because you are expected and this is your duty to the narcissist
6- They won't care how you feel.
Yes, it hurts but not for them. They lack every bit of sympathy. No
matter how close you are to them, a narcissist will not care. Did they offend
you? Well, that's fine for them. Did they ignore you? This is because they
wanted it. No matter how hard you struggle, it simply won't bother them.
7- Say “I’m sorry.”
Admitting a mistake is uncomfortable for most people, but give and take
in relationships sometimes requires admitting a mistake. Healthy people
usually know when to owe an apology and are willing to offer it. Whether we
boycott or fail to deliver on a promise, say something painful, or lose our
temper beyond reasonable limits, we offer an apology for your showing of
respect and concern.
On the other hand, a narcissist never apologizes. Since he sees himself
above blame, he never feels wrong. His sense of superiority over others
reinforces his belief that other, lower-ranking beings are always
responsible for anything that goes awry, even if the narcissist is indeed
responsible.
Sometimes ,narcissists express a false apology, and are
designed to place the blame back on others. An example of biology is, “I'm
sorry you are so sensitive that you can't handle real life
8- No Forgiveness.
For the same reason, narcissists do not apologize, they also do not forgive.
Hyper vigilance towards perceived or real attack (rarely), they see life as a
war zone in which they always fight for survival and view tolerance as a
symptom of vulnerability. If someone apologizes to them (often in a misguided
attempt to end a conflict), narcissists see it as evidence of their
superiority and may seize the opportunity to punish that person for anything
that may or may not have done a mistake. Genuine tolerance is not part of a
narcissist's emotional lexicon, because they basically cannot forgive
themselves.
9- They do not listen.
They don't listen, they just wait for you to shut up so they can say what's on
their minds. They don't really care what you have to say, all that worries
them is your willingness to hear them speak constantly.
10- They will not care about your problems.
If you think you need them to get support with your problems, just forget
it. Even if they are involved in the problem, they will avoid it or they may
make it difficult for you to blame you who are responsible. Show them one
problem and immediately they'll connect it to something vaguely similar to
their problem and back to square one: they'll start talking about
themselves.
11- Act in self-denial.
Altruism is the opposite of narcissism. Because narcissism lacks empathy and
has an inflated sense of entitlement, acting selflessly is beyond
comprehension. In essence, narcissism has nothing to offer because it feels
like its survival is at stake and nothing else matters. Narcissists by
definition are caught up in an inner vortex of unmet early childhood needs
and grandiose self-compensatory beliefs.
12- Express their true feelings.
A narcissist thrives above all else on attention, and there is no subject
more exciting than himself. An extroverted narcissist likes to dominate the
room, asserting his superiority and intimidating others with his
intellectual prowess (filling in the void). The introverted narcissist also
thrives on attention and finds passive-aggressive ways to get it, such as
complaining or playing the victim. But when it comes to his feelings, the
narcissist is hiding from others and from himself.
Narcissists lack the self-awareness to understand the underlying feelings
that drive their behavior as well as the courage to make themselves
vulnerable enough to share those feelings. The narcissist operates
competitively on a raw survival instinct and is alien to his deeper
emotional world.
13- Self-reflection.
Narcissists are terrified of their own shadows - the child hidden for so
long inside and irreparably damaged that the narcissist feels his own
inadequacy and constantly makes up for it. For narcissists, self-reflection
is a dangerous area that must be avoided at all costs because it represents
an unbearable weakness. This is why narcissists rarely seek treatment, avoid
honest communication, refuse accountability, and easily resort to defensive
frenzy to beat the truth.
14- See emotional differences.
Although they may be smart, especially at manipulating people and
discovering their weaknesses, the narcissist lacks awareness of emotional
differences and tends to think extreme in black and white. She tends to
idealize or belittle others, and she displays her own corrupt emotional
agenda, believing that others see life as you do - as a series of games or
battles to be won. The broad gamut of emotion that healthy beings,
especially the most empathetic ones, experience on a daily basis is lost on
narcissism, trapped in its self-protective construction of reality.
15- They don't like losing control.
Narcissists are obsessed with control and losing control makes them
extremely upset or angry. They need to control people and their
surroundings. It gives them a sense of security in the knowledge that you
will do whatever they want without question.
