Constant self - promotion. They always talk about their own successes, whether it's at work, in relationships or in hobbies.
Jealousy when others get attention. In many narcissistic friend stories, they can't stand it when someone else is in the spotlight. So if a friend gets praised or recognized, they might try to undermine that person. They also tend to overestimate their own abilities and importance. They might think they are the best at everything and not take criticism well.
A need for excessive attention. They will interrupt conversations or activities to draw focus to themselves. For example, in a group discussion about movies, a narcissistic friend might turn it around to talk about how they could be a movie star. They also often show little interest in others' lives. If you start talking about your own problems or achievements, they will quickly shift the topic back to themselves.
One common type is being overly needy. They might constantly call or text you, expecting you to drop everything and be there for them. Another is being a back - stabber, like talking behind your back. Also, the ones who are always competitive in an annoying way, trying to outdo you in everything.
One common behavior is making negative comments. For example, if you get something nice, a jealous friend might say it's not that great. Another behavior is trying to undermine your achievements. They could tell others that you don't really deserve what you got. Also, they might spread false rumors about you, like in the case where a friend was jealous of a new possession and spread lies about how it was obtained.
One common annoying behavior is excessive noise - making. Little kids often shout or scream when they are excited or want attention. Another is being disobedient. They might not listen to adults when told to stop doing something, like the kid kicking the seat. Also, messing things up, like the library incident where the kid made a mess of the bookshelves.
One common rude behavior is yelling at students for no good reason. For instance, if a student is a bit late to class, instead of asking why politely, the teacher just shouts at them in front of everyone. Another is publicly shaming students for their mistakes, like reading out a wrong answer in a really humiliating way.
One of my narcissistic friends always has to be the center of attention. At parties, he would constantly interrupt others' conversations to talk about his own achievements. He once boasted for an entire hour about a small promotion at work as if he had just won a Nobel Prize.
Common elements include self - glorification. In many narcissistic horror stories, the narcissist is always talking about their achievements, real or exaggerated. For example, the guy in the social club constantly posting selfies expecting praise. There is also the disregard for others' feelings. They don't care if their actions make others uncomfortable or angry. They will still pursue their own self - centered goals. And manipulation can be another element. They might manipulate situations to make themselves look better, like the office colleague taking credit for a team project by manipulating the narrative.
In narcissistic success stories, one key element is a high level of self - promotion. These individuals are not shy about promoting their ideas, products or themselves. Mark Zuckerberg, for instance, was very effective in promoting Facebook as a revolutionary social platform. Another common factor is a sense of uniqueness. They believe they are different from others and that their ideas are one - of - a - kind. This uniqueness gives them the drive to pursue their goals relentlessly. Additionally, they often have a way of surrounding themselves with people who either believe in their vision or are useful in achieving their goals. For example, Jobs had a team that could execute his ideas despite his sometimes difficult personality.
Another trait is a lack of interest in others. In these stories, the narcissistic gay individuals often don't really listen to their friends or partners. They are more focused on themselves and their own needs. They might interrupt others when they are talking to bring the attention back to themselves.
Dogs are social animals. They enjoy interacting with humans and other animals. They show affection through licking and wagging their tails. Some dogs are also very good at following commands, which is a result of training.
One common trait is excessive self - promotion. Like my aunt who always talks about her beauty and how she was a beauty queen in her youth. Another is a lack of empathy. My narcissistic brother never cares about how others feel when he's showing off. Also, they always need to be the center of attention, just like my cousin who makes every family event about him.
