Do you have someone like this in your life? Been interested in this subject recently as I have just removed myself from the sphere of someone like this: A narcissist, obviously, cannot do any wrong in their own mind, which means they need someone to blame for any failures. Everything they do comes under the purpose of how it best serves them, which is a terribly lonely way to live. A narcissist also has little or no insight into their own actions. They need to be constantly admired and feel entitled to the best treatment and to unquestioning compliance from everyone in their life. It may help you to have compassion if you can remember these negative behaviors are projections of their own self-hatred and feelings of inadequacy. Narcissists tend to be really good liars. Even if you have absolute empirical evidence that youre right. Even then, a narcissist will manage to turn the whole thing around to reflect well on them. The best time to stage an intervention is after something very life-changing has happened to the narcissist (like an illness, a job or business loss, etc.) where the things that are feeding their ego are damaged or removed. A professional can discuss with you the different options for therapy that you might try and convince your narcissist to undertake.
