Number 10 : False entitlement.
Does your partner get mad when you tell them no? This is very common among narcissistic partners because they feel entitled to everything you have. They expect you to willingly give up anything at the drop of a hat. If they want it, you’re supposed to give it to them.
Imagine you’re at work, one day when your significant other asks you to bring them lunch. Now a normal partner would understand when you said you couldn’t because you’re too busy with work, but a narcissistic partner would act like your job is less important than their lunch.
Now, of course, the entitlement doesn’t stop there. Narcissistic partner acts in title toward everyone around them. They get angry with servers for making them wait a few extra minutes. They yell at store clerks who make some kind of tiny mistake.
So if you notice a pattern of disrespect, you’re probably dating a narcissist.
Number 11: Failure to commit.
Have you ever noticed that your significant other is scared of commitment? You want to take things to the next level. You want to get serious with them, but for whatever reason, they say things like, oh, I don’t like labels. Their lack of commitment might be a sign of narcissism. why?
Because your partner is looking for the easiest least intensive way to keep the relationship alive. They want all the benefits of a relationship with none of the commitment. They want attention and intimacy, but they’ll do anything to avoid titles or labels.
If you let them, your narcissistic partner will take advantage of you for as long as they can. So don’t let them get away with it.

Number 12: willing admission.
Yeah, I know it sounds strange, but most narcissists will recognize their own narcissism. In fact, they’ll willingly admit to having some of the most common and self-destructive symptoms.
Narcissists aren’t blind to their own behavior. They often know what they’re doing wrong. They know that they’re being manipulative or entitled. And they know that they aren’t being as supportive of their partner as they should. But they have too much pride to actually do anything about it. That does mean, however, that they’re self-aware. If you show a narcissist the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder, they’ll be able to recognize those symptoms in themselves.
This was actually proven by a recent study that recreated this exact situation. Researchers educated people who tested positive for NPD, and they found that most narcissists readily recognized their own narcissism.
So, if you think you’re dating a narcissist, don’t be afraid to come right out and ask your partner. There’s a good chance that your partner can tell you everything you need to know.
This is all you need to know about dating a narcissist. Please, if you like this article, don’t forget to share it with your friends and family.
