If they are a narcissist then they have a mental condition where they have an inflated sense of their own importance a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, a lack of empathy for others and turbulent relationships. But behind this mask of extreme arrogance is a fragile self-esteem that is susceptible to the slightest piece of disapproval.
The narcissistic personality disorder creates issues in multiple parts of life, such as work, business, relationships, financial affairs, and school. These types of people with the narcissistic personality disorder are usually upset and frustrated when they are not given what they want in the way of a special favor or admiration\gratitude they deem they deserve. The relationships they have are usually unfulfilling, and others after a while do not enjoy being in their presence or even speaking to them.
Here are the signs you are in a friendship or in a relationship with a Narcissist.
At the same time, people with narcissistic tendencies have problems controlling and handling anything that they view as criticism or a threat to their perceived superiority like the below:
In my time on this planet, I have dated 3 narcissists and been best friends with 2 narcissists and they drain you and make you feel bad about yourself and reliant on them. They think your world (what you write, say, think and feel) revolves around them. They make you feel bad for them to feel good and to get what they want from you. They are master manipulators and when they don’t get their way accuse you of being a liar and a manipulator. They will do whatever it takes to get their own way even if it hurts other people in the process. Everything is wrong with you, and nothing is and will ever be wrong with them. They will never compromise or apologies for anything they do against you that is wrong. They accuse you of doing the things that they themselves are doing when they are feeling paranoid or insecure.
The only thing you can do if you are friends with or in a relationship with a narcissist is get the hell out of there and make sure they know that you want nothing to do with them because if you don’t they will try to convince you that they are good people and that it is all in your head so that you will come back to them and so that they narcissistic manipulations can continue. Being around these types of people is hazardous for your mental and emotional well-being and they are constantly building you up only to shatter you into tiny little pieces to get what they way. They love being in control the only way you can break that control is to get them completely out of your life as quickly as possible. You are worth so much more in life than to be controlled by a master manipulator and narcissist. ©
