Number 10: You’re being mean.
It is common for narcissists to have a mean streak, especially when they are angry or upset about something. These feelings are what often get narcissists into arguments and fights, and they can also lead to some vindictive behavior. Although a narcissist may not always care if you call them a bully behind closed doors, many of them will be very angry about this if it makes them look bad in front of other people.
This is especially true if the company around you are people that the narcissist is trying to impress. Additionally, this phrase could also upset a narcissist if they are actively trying to manipulate an individual or situation.
Number 9: Please stop playing the victim.
Playing the victim is a common manipulation tactic used by narcissists, and they will usually do this to make a person feel guilty so that they get what they want.

Narcissists usually love to talk and argue to get out of things they hate or get others to do something for them. As a result, they will likely do a lot of talking and not a lot of listening when they get really amped up about something. If you say the phrase “you are not listening to me” when talking to a narcissist, then it is likely that they will get pretty angry.
This is especially true if they are upset about something already. As you can most likely expect from those with narcissistic tendencies, their reaction to this phrase will be even worse if you say it in front of an audience.
