Arguing with a narcissist can be extremely frustrating. Even if they do not know what they’re talking about, they always insist they are right. They don’t listen to others’ opinions or ideas and don’t accept anything that contradicts their point of view. Why? Because narcissists interpret every argument as a personal attack. They need to be right because they’re not secure enough to be wrong. If you know someone who argues with their ears closed, you may be dealing with a narcissist.

They may try to convince you that their actions are justified. They may brag about their small contributions. But if you can spot the signs, you can see right through them.

You may think they’re just messing around, but people with such grand fantasies may only care about themselves.
