Number 9: They lack boundaries.
Because narcissists need to be right all of the time, they see boundaries as an attack on them, even if they aren’t. They believe that everything belongs to them and that everyone should think and feel the same way that they do. Because narcissists have an exaggerated sense of self-importance, they expect special treatment from everyone. They do so because they believe that they have a claim to other people’s time and possessions.
When narcissists receive a negative response, they are taken aback and insulted. The truth is that they don’t care if you respect your boundaries. They don’t care if you’re pleased; all they care about is that you keep paying attention to them.
Number 10: Narcissists split aspects of good and evil.
The narcissist’s personality is divided into good and bad aspects; everything in their interactions is divided into good and bad portions. They blame you or others for any unpleasant thoughts or behaviors, while they take credit for everything excellent and good. They constantly accuse you of disapproval while denying their negative words and actions. They also recall events as either fully good and wonderful or entirely unpleasant and horrible. They can’t seem to get these two concepts to work together.
