#1: Narcissists struggle to think about themselves and their actions.
Let’s dig into this a bit more. To put it simply, narcissists are great at blaming others. They are pros at making other people seem responsible for the problems they are causing. This is a clear sign that they don’t spend time thinking about their own actions. Thinking about our own actions is an important part of understanding ourselves and learning from our mistakes. But narcissists have a hard time with this. They’d rather ignore their issues than face them. You might be asking, why is this important? It’s important because it harms their relationships.

Not being able to think about their actions stops them from becoming better people. Personal growth comes from admitting our mistakes and working on them. But a narcissist, stuck in their world of self-importance, doesn’t see the need to change. They think they’re perfect, so they ignore their real selves. They stay the same. They can’t change. They can’t grow.

They don’t want you to see this, but now that you do, you’re closer to understanding how a narcissist thinks.
