Number 3: They Get Upset When They Lose in a Contest.
Narcissists do not have a spirit of sportsmanship; they always want to be the winner in everything as they are highly competitive. Since narcissists have inflated egos, they get upset when losing in contests or sports. Thus, narcissists should not participate in any competition if they do not know how to deal with their emotions when they lose. They manifest their undesirable behavior through passive aggression, such as refusing to do a handshake with their opponent who won against them and not respecting the judge’s decision.
Well, it is normal to feel a little upset when you lose in a competition. You should still display sportsmanship in front of the public because it is a sign of professionalism. You may deal with your emotions later when you are alone or with a few trusted friends or family members who can help you cope with losing. How would you react if your opponent won against you in a contest or sport? Are you willing to do a handshake to show that you respect and congratulate them for their deserved victory?
Number 4: They Get Upset When Hearing Criticism Directed Against Them.
Narcissists are allergic to negative feedback; they do not want to hear anything undesirable about their character. Ironically, narcissists conspicuously display their arrogant behavior, as they are apathetic. They think they are perfect. Narcissists reject any criticism because it makes them upset when someone highlights some negative traits of their personalities. With that, they do not have room for improvement, since they reject all areas of opportunities regarding their behaviors or performance at work or school.
Instead of opening their minds to change for the better, narcissists will justify their actions because it is easier than admitting they are flawed. One of the narcissists’ goals in life is to protect their inflated egos from getting damaged.
Number 5: They Get Upset When Someone Calls Them Out for Their Arrogance.
Calling out a narcissist for their unreasonable behaviors would be the last thing you want to do. Why? Because narcissists still never listen to you; instead, they will find a way to deflect the issue and pin it on you. They will accuse you of being judgmental regarding their personalities. Narcissists are good at turning the situation around so that their mistakes will not be the highlight of the topic at hand. They will get upset if you call them out, especially in public because that would significantly damage their inflated egos. Narcissists are overprotective of their image, as they have been trying to build an honorable reputation to gain other people’s trust, affection, praise, and sympathy.
