Narcissists are known as people who think superficially, those who act on impulse without reflecting on their actions first. Do you know the saying about not judging a book by its cover? It also applies to narcissists. It may not seem like it, but narcissists’ wounds run deep within their hearts. These wounds may or may not stem from their childhood, but experts have found that people with narcissistic tendencies often come from dysfunctional families with no primary guardian able to provide proper care. So, who other than themselves would they consider a role model? I think that answer is pretty obvious.
Are you one of the people who seeks a better understanding of the narcissist’s way of thinking?
5 Things That Explain How the Narcissist’s Mind Works
I’m about to show you five things that explain how the narcissist’s mind works. We’ll talk about their tendencies, from their thoughts to their behaviors.
Number 1: Narcissists Have A High Sense Of Self-Importance.
Narcissists have a high sense of self-importance. The term narcissism comes from the Greek mythology tale of someone named Narcissus. Narcissus was sentenced to a life without human love by the gods. Like Narcissus, narcissists only love themselves. When they know someone does not particularly like them, narcissists will try to impress that person. Why? Because if narcissists don’t feel special, they don’t feel okay. They have a more black-and-white mindset, believing that if they aren’t the greatest, then they aren’t anything. Being like everyone else isn’t enough for them. Living and existing in this world is nowhere near what they should achieve. Narcissists have to matter in more ways than one. The scary part is that they don’t care whether it’s for the better or worse. Being held as a dominant person is what matters to them.
Because of their high sense of self-importance, narcissists will often have unreasonable expectations of special treatment and wishes from others. It’s only normal for someone as important as them to have their requests fulfilled, or so they think. Many have tried to knock some sense into a narcissist, but doing so takes a lot of energy. In the end, it might be useless, as narcissists can only wake up from their self-made stories if they decide to do so.
