5. They nitpick
Sit up straight, fix your shirt, pick up the house. It’s just never good enough for them. No matter how much you try to anticipate, what they may complain, or rag at you about without fail, they find something to pick on.
And the reason they do this is not because it’s a valid criticism, but rather they nitpick on you serves as evidence to them of how much better they are than everyone else. It’s a lazy attempt to give them a hit of narcissistic supply.
If you need them, they will either become overly involved with whatever is going on and become completely engrossed in it, beyond what is necessary, or they just ignore you and your request completely, and they say, I don’t have time or something like that.
It tends to be they are either all in beyond what is necessary, or not involved at all, and completely blow you off. And we never know which one it’s going to be. And that is because a narcissist solely bases their interest and involvement in issues based on how much narcissistic supply they can extract from this event. That’s all that matters to narcissists.
6. They are terrible losers
They have the absolute worst sportsmanship imaginable. Narcissists love to win. I don’t think that there is anything more important to a narcissist than winning. No matter how inconsequential it may seem to them, winning is everything.
And if you are playing a game with them or if there is some kind of contest, and they don’t win, there’s going to be a problem, either the game wasn’t fair, or you did something intentional to make them lose, or the game is just stupid altogether and wasn’t important in the first place. But one thing is for sure, they are horrible losers.
