#6: Narcissists lie about their past experiences.
Narcissists lie about something that happened in the past. For example, a narcissist will say, “Because of me, the team won the championship,” when in reality, this narcissist was never part of the team in the first place. They also lie about mistakes that they made. Narcissists never want to admit that they’ve made a mistake or done something wrong in the past. They’ll twist things around so that it sounds like it was someone else’s fault or change the story entirely.

They have no real sense of self, so they try to fill the void with attention and approval from others.

For example, they tell you about winning the number one spot in a big tournament, but in reality, they never get to the top three. Narcissists love to brag about themselves and make themselves look good in every situation. When you ask them about their job, they’ll tell you that they are the most important person in the department. They tell you they’ve won a prize, but they were just one of many nominees.
