Number 5: Proving that you are better at anything than them.
Competence is in a narcissist’s blood. They’re like a five-year-old who has to defeat you in everything to feel better about themselves. It is rooted in a deep sense of inadequacy and incompetence. Once you are better at even the simplest things like cooking, dancing, or something like that, instead of learning from you, instead of taking you as an inspiration, they start competing with you, and you really wonder what this hell is all about. Instead of seeing you as a child, a partner, or a friend, they start seeing you as an enemy they have to defeat to feel better about themselves.

Number 6: Not believing their lies.
They gaslight, manipulate, lie, and do all of those dirty things with the intention that you are going to get trapped in this web that they weave around you, and once you deflect this mental sorcery and refuse to believe, they become rageful. They are filled with anger, resentment towards you for daring to go, in an opposite direction than what they had decided for you, and they start punishing you, they start stepping up in their abuse. Clearly, narcissists are driven by hate, envy, jealousy, greed, and whatnot. And if they fail at getting whatever they want to get, whatever they want to succeed at, that drives them crazy.
