10 Things Narcissists Regret In Their Life

 Number 3: Being not honest about how they feel.

 Narcissists are often so focused on getting what they want that they don’t even realize when they’re hurting someone else. They’re also in denial about their feelings, which means they’ll have no idea what to tell you if you ask them how they feel. Narcissists have a hard time being vulnerable. Because of this, they lie to their loved ones to avoid feeling exposed or rejected.

 Narcissists also tend to hold on to their feelings and emotions inside and bottle them up, which is why they can appear cold and uncaring at first glance. This causes narcissists to feel ashamed of themselves and even hate themselves for being unable to deal with their problems.

 Number 4: Not being able to accept their flaws.

 Narcissists believe they’re perfect, so it’s hard to admit when they’ve made a mistake or done something wrong. They are always looking for ways to improve themselves and ensure their image is always seen as perfect, but one thing they never seem able to get over is accepting that they have flaws. Not being able to accept their flaws leads them to live in denial and they may even convince themselves that they are perfect.

 When they finally acknowledge their shortcomings, they can feel regretful and ashamed. Narcissists will often use other people as scapegoats for their shortcomings, which mean that narcissists end up living in a world where they can never be wrong; their problems are always someone else’s fault.

 Number 5: Not getting enough attention as a kid.

 Narcissists are known for being self-centered, overly confident, and convinced they’re better than everyone else. They believe they are entitled to whatever they want, no matter what the cost may be for other people. They will do anything to get any adoration, even if it means being incredibly selfish or insensitive.

 But many people don’t realize that narcissists often have low self-esteem and a deep need for validation and attention. One of the narcissist’s biggest regrets is not getting enough attention as children. They feel like they missed out on something that could have made them happy, but instead, it just caused them to be resentful toward their parents.
