Narcissists cannot stand waiting. It does not matter if it is a queue at the bank, a line at the grocery store, or even waiting for food at a restaurant. It drives them mad. They are wired with entitlement. In their minds, they are too important to stand where everyone else is standing, too special to follow the same rules, too grand to waste their time like ordinary people. So, they push ahead. They cut lines. They sigh loudly, roll their eyes, tap their feet, and raise their eyebrows—basically doing anything to make sure everyone else knows they are annoyed.
In some places, especially where law and order is flexible, they thrive even more. They’ll walk into government offices, skipping past crowds who have been waiting for hours, demanding immediate attention. Disturbingly, sometimes they succeed because people fear their influence. Watching them in these moments is like watching a child who never grew up. If they cannot bypass, they sulk. If they don’t get their way, they punish everyone around them with their faces, their size, and their muttering.
I remember mornings in my own childhood when my father would get ready before us in five minutes flat, then stand outside the main door screaming at everyone else to hurry. He would start the car and begin yelling, honking, and cursing as if the world was conspiring against him because we did not match his pace. The rest of us scrambled in chaos just to avoid his rage.

They live in constant rush because silence and stillness scare them more than anything.
