The pride is warranted in some ways, especially when it comes to their academic and professional success, but the narcissist takes it to another level, and from that comes their sense of entitlement. The narcissist is so proud that they believe that certain things and people are below them. They start believing that they deserve not only the best but what everyone else has as well.
Pride makes them think their way is the best way. Their pride drives them to want to control everything and everyone. Their pride makes them feel entitled. Pride drives them to envy. Pride drives them to think of themselves more highly than they ought to think. Narcissists are too proud for their own good, and it stops them from reflecting on their behaviors and accepting blame. And it’s because they foolishly think they are too perfect to make mistakes, too perfect to be criticized.

They are too proud to have many flaws, and that same pride will not allow them to admit that they have issues. That pride will not allow them to humble themselves and put others’ needs above theirs; that pride will not allow them to admit that they are broken people who need help. Their prideful spirit actually prevents the narcissist from doing things that can help them and instead drives them to behave in ways that are destructive, not only to themselves but to the people around them. As a result, their pride will be their downfall.
Pride and envy are serious problems to have, and those are only a few problems of the narcissist. They’ve got a lot more, but both pride and envy will lead to the destruction of the mind, body, and spirit. The narcissist creates a life that, in the end, destroys them in more ways than one. They are ticking time bombs that are set to self-destruct.
