Number 1: They behave animalistically when eating.
Now, nothing against animals; I’m just helping you understand how their behavior may look like. They make really loud noises, have zero table manners, do not respect other people who are eating around them, do not cover their mouths, and they make these weird sounds like they just want to fill that bin in there. They don’t care what they’re eating or how much they’re eating; they just want to engulf it all as if they have not seen food for years and this is the last quantity they will ever get their hands on. It’s crazy to understand, but that is how it is, especially with cerebral narcissists who are brain-centered, who are computer-like in their nature, and are completely dissociated and disconnected from their bodies. They do not care about what they are wearing, how they look, how they smell, and so on. It’s all in their heads.
I remember asking my father once, “How does the food taste?” He took a pause, looked at me while taking in food, and asked, “What do you mean by how does it taste? What is taste?” These are his words: “What is taste?” I was taken aback. I thought maybe he was kidding. “You are a human being, and of course, you have the capability to taste things, don’t you?” That’s what made me think they don’t have a sense of taste or texture; they don’t care about it. He told me literally—I was shocked—he told me, “If you were to give me cattle feed and mix it with some salt, I’ll eat it as well. It doesn’t matter. One should have something to eat and that is enough.”

Now one may think, “Oh, that’s so humble of him.” Of course not. He was disgusting when it came to what he ate and how he prepared it. The crazy thing is they start a fight if you make a request and ask them to chew quietly. “It’s bothering me. Can you just keep it quiet a little bit? Can you close your mouth when eating, please?” No, they will perceive it as criticism or some form of attack. It’s not like you’re making up the problem or you’re shaming them. Clearly, they are not eating like a human being, and you’re eating around them. It’s your right to be at peace, to eat calmly, but they are stealing that away. That is entitlement. It’s not wrong to ask a person to just behave normally, but they don’t consider that aspect. It’s all about them, and how dare you question their behavior? For it is perfect, and there must be something wrong with your ears. “Go get them checked. You’re hearing a lot nowadays,” that’s what they would say.
