They are more likely to delete any communication between them and others that isn’t focused on them.

Reversed behavior

Pay attention to the lack of reciprocity among a naxsist.

They also lie about their abilities and do not recognize other people beyond their own needs. They can be aggressive and outrighteous when they don't receive what they want.

Although they might appear to be helpful to their closest friends, their motivations are always theirs. They will attempt to make it appear that you are able to get along well with them, when in fact they are only looking out for their own needs. If this happens, it is not healthy. If you feel neglected, it might be time to find someone else.

Antagonism

Psychopathology (a branch of psychology that also includes narcissism/psychopathy) is characterised by the presence antagonistic cores. More than seventy percent is attributable to antagonism, and the narcissist frequently plays a central role in this dynamic. An antagonistic core consists of immorality. These are the most important aspects of psychopathology. They are also relevant to understanding people suffering from externalizing disorders.

Anatagonistic narcissists rarely feel guilty for their actions. They might enjoy playing the role of the hero in others' lives and devaluing them. These narcissists may devalue their victims or put them in difficult situations. Anapathic narcissists can also be demeaning to people who criticize them, or communicate their thin ideal to them.

Neurotic narcissists also have higher body image concerns. These concerns can pose a threat to one's self-esteem, especially for those who are shameful. It is normal to worry about one's appearance if it is an important part your self-worth. This value varies greatly from person to person. Self-esteem is built on many domains, and appearance does not make up the only one.

A key characteristic of vulnerable Narcissism includes the ability not to be involved in social situations. Antagonism stops vulnerable narcissists from exposing their vulnerability to others. Vulnerable narcissists fear rejection and feel entitled to special treatment. They avoid social situations. People avoid them and resort to social withdrawal as a way to protect their fragile self.

Hostility

Individual narcissists' reactive behavior is reflective of their inflated ego. Collective narcissists' reaction is a projection the hostile intent of the in-group. Our findings support the earlier findings that in-group hostility, threat and collective narcissism are important factors.

Besides being a significant determinant of narcissism, hostility is associated with multiple personality characteristics, including neuroticism and emotional regulation ability. Low EI and high level of neuroticism are also negatively associated with hostility. Both traits may contribute to the hostility of narcissists, but these results are not conclusive.

These results support the theory collective narcissism, as well as hostility toward refugees. Study 2 shows that the relationship is positive even when hostile attribution bias was introduced as a mediator. Study 1's results confirm this hypothesis. However, models that assume an alternative directionality don't explain the association between hostility outcomes and hostility. These results support the hypothesis that collective narcissism can be a significant predictor for in-group hostility.

Narcissists become rageful and have difficulty with their cognitive judgement. Their behavior includes gaslighting and lying. They will lie in order to prove their point. It is important that you realize that narcissists don't engage in arguments with others. You would be viewed as someone with the ability to control their self-esteem if you were to argue with them. Instead, blame yourself for their anger and depravity.
