3. If they tend to talk only about themselves, interrupt or cut them off while they’re talking and see how they react.
I mean no one likes being cut off mid-sentence, but a narcissist will typically react very harshly to this. They may not say anything, especially if it’s the beginning of the relationship, but their body language will speak volumes, or try telling them a long story about yourself, an experience that you had, and notice their body language. Are they interested? Do their facial expressions match the emotions of your story? Or are they off somewhere else or trying to turn the conversation back to themselves?
In the beginning, some narcissists will do a really good job at faking interest in you, but later on, in the relationship, they will not be able to fake it.

4. Try giving them a small gentle, polite critique.
Not about anything mean, but just a mention of how they did something imperfectly like maybe they were a few minutes late. People don’t like being criticized, but narcissists hate it.
5. Ask them about their relationship history.
And if they tell you about their rocky relationships or tell you that you’re gonna regret being with them later, believe them, don’t think that you’re special, that you’re going to change them, and don’t believe that they’ve changed. If they warn you about how they’ve been liars, cheaters, how they’ve manipulated, deceived, controlled, or were jealous, trust them.
Now again, these signs and experiments do not prove that someone is a narcissist but if you’re reading this and feeling the need to conduct these experiments, take it as a huge red flag. Again, it’s your intuition telling you something is wrong, and trust yourself.
