They lack all empathy.
In fact, they are incapable of seeing the world through other peoples eyes.
They are only concerned with how other people affect them.

People can be self-centered and even completely selfish without being true narcissists.
The key indicator that I have found is a complete lack of humility or empathy.
They dont simply act like they are superior to others, they truly believe it in their minds.

Here are the top 10 signs that you have found yourself dealing with a true narcissist:
1.
The ego is prioritized above all else.They have the utmost sense of self-importance.
Nothing is more important than maintaining their perfect persona and image.
They will spend all of their money, time, and energy on making themselves look good to others.
They will disregard facts that do not align with their own personal opinions.
If they believe it, then they will convince you that it is true.
They lack allempathy.In fact, they are incapable of seeing the world through other peoples eyes.
They are only concerned with how other people affect them.
They only care about your feelings if they are afraid that you will express negative opinions about them.
They are always right; therefore any contradiction of their own thoughts is clearly wrong.
They operate with a my way or the highway attitude in conflict and decision making situations.
Any opposing viewpoints will be met with rage and hostility.
You will never see a sign of anything negative happening behind the scenes.
They use people as objects and pawns to satisfy their own personal desires.
These people will ice out anyone in their life who doesnt follow their agenda.
They will go years without talking to loved ones and friends if they feel slighted.
They believe people should be kept in line to satisfy their agenda.
This means you’re able to never disagree with them on anything.
They will deny doing it, and insist their victims brought it upon themselves.
They will ensure to continue doing the things you ask them not to do.
This keeps you under their tight control.
They will manipulate their new victim with their charm and extensive sob stories about their previous partner.
They also begin triangulating their victims.
This allows them to pit their new partner against their discarded ex to create more chaos in everyones lives.
They will criticize you for anything and everything to keep you under their tight control.
No matter how hard you venture to c’mon them, you will never succeed.
It will never be good enough for them.
This is because they think they do everything the right and best way.
Chances are they will also continue to stalk and harass you for months or even years to come.
Dont waste your time trying to confront them with reality.
They truly believe the fantasies and lies theyve created in their own minds.
Whatever you do, never let a narcissist change how you view yourself.
People with low self-worth will blame themselves for a narcissists bad behavior instead of blaming the narcissist.
This is exactly how they hook their partners and keep them from leaving them.
