Narcissists are difficult to manage. They are masters not only of manipulation and control but also of keeping secrets. They will go to great lengths to conceal who they truly are and what is going on in their lives so that no one discovers their true feelings or intentions. What are these secrets, and why are they kept hidden? .
Here are 10 secrets that narcissists keep from anyone. But they are not secrets anymore because we will reveal them to you.

● Number One: Narcissists are not really that great at anything.

Narcissists aren’t really that great at anything; they’re just great at pretending they are.
They’re not good at anything because they don’t care enough to be good. Narcissists want to convince you that they are great at something so that you’ll give them what they want in exchange for the illusion of their competence. Narcissists tend to overestimate their abilities; they might think they’re more talented than they really are or more popular with anyone. But when it comes to actual performance, the stuff that matters, their egos just aren’t backed up by reality. Narcissists don’t actually accomplish anything; they just think they do.

● Number Two: Narcissists will never admit they’re wrong, even when they know it.

Narcissists will never admit they’re wrong, even when they know it. It’s like an allergy to the truth; they can’t be near it, let alone start to digest it. Narcissists believe they are superior and entitled to special treatment. So when you point out that they were wrong in something they did or said, you’re pointing out that you know more than them. Why? Because they don’t see themselves as being on equal footing with anyone else. Narcissists will always think they’re always right, and they’ll let you know. They’re so good at being right that they can’t even admit when they’re wrong.

● Number Three: Narcissists can’t be trusted with secrets because they’ll turn around and use them against you.

They will use any secret information they have on you to manipulate or control you further down the line. Narcissists will also use it as ammunition to discredit you in front of other people so that they can look better by comparison. Narcissists are notorious for using other people’s secrets against them. They do it because they’re insecure and don’t care about how their actions affect others. Narcissists are willing to hurt others to make themselves feel better.

● Number Four: Narcissists don’t care about anyone but themselves unless it benefits them.

Narcissists can be charming and charismatic, but they’re also manipulative predators who usually have no empathy for those around them. They don’t care about anyone but themselves. They only care about what they can get out of that person. Narcissists need to feel superior to everyone around them, so they’ll do anything to keep feeling that way. Narcissists are selfish, self-centered people. If they were to see someone drowning, they would probably just watch them drown because they couldn’t be bothered to help. Narcissists will always put their own needs first, even if it means stepping on someone else’s toes to get what they want out of them.

● Number Five: Narcissists will lie about anything and everything to get what they want out of life.

Narcissists are by nature liars. They’re so self-centered that they don’t care what to say or do to get what they want, including lying. But not all lies are created equal. Narcissists will lie about anything and everything because they feel entitled to do so. They often lie about their feelings, intentions, and actions to avoid taking responsibility for anything that happens.

● Number Six: Narcissists have no empathy for other people’s feelings and needs.

Narcissists do not care about how their actions affect others. They just want to do what they want. They do not understand that there are other people in this world with different needs and desires, and they do not care enough to try to understand them. When you are with a narcissist, you may feel like you are the only person. You might even think that being around someone who is so self-involved is flattering, but the truth is that narcissists have no empathy for other people’s feelings and needs, damaging your relationship with friends and family members.

● Number Seven: Narcissists have a very low tolerance for criticism and rejection.

Narcissists are highly sensitive to any kind of criticism, even constructive criticism. They can not accept rejection from others, so they become very defensive when someone rejects them or comments negatively on their actions. Narcissists feel that they are special, unique, and deserve special treatment. They thrive on attention and praise from others, and they feel threatened by any form of criticism because it makes them look bad in front of others. Narcissists think that if someone criticizes them, they must not be worthy enough to receive praise from others.

● Number Eight: Narcissists do not really believe in love or friendship.

Narcissists’ only genuine love interest is themselves.
Therefore, any relationship outside of self-love will never last very long. Eventually, someone will realize how fake these relationships are compared to real ones between two people who care. Narcissists will say they love you, but it is not real love. It is shallow and self-serving. If you are lucky enough to have them in your life, be very careful not to become too dependent on them. Narcissists will drop you like a hot potato when something better comes along. They only care about what they can get from you and then move on when they feel like it or when someone else offers them more. Narcissists do not understand what friendship is because they only care about themselves. If someone else does not benefit them somehow, why would they bother with them? A narcissist may tell you that you are their best friend, but if you try to be there for them when they need support or even just a listening ear, they will turn on you and make up lies about how bad of a friend you are.

● Number Nine: Narcissists want all the attention in the room and do not want anyone else to shine brighter than them.

Narcissists are people who love the spotlight. They want all the attention in the room, and they do not want anyone else to shine brighter than them. They do not want anyone else to shine brighter because if someone shines brighter, their self-image is diminished. A narcissist’s entire sense of identity is wrapped up in being better than everyone else, so their whole world falls apart if someone comes along and outshines them. If you are dealing with a narcissist, you might notice them stealing your ideas, taking over you in meetings, or getting credit grabbing. Narcissists are often successful because they know how to get what they want, including making everyone around them feel small compared.

● Number Ten: Narcissists constantly seek validation from others by bragging about themselves non-stop and making false promises..

Narcissists tend to be quite the boasters, and they rarely let a minute pass without reminding everyone who they are and what they have done. They love to tell you what a big deal they are and how many people admire them. They constantly need to be told how great they are, and they often exaggerate their accomplishments and abilities to get that praise. Stay calm and don’t react when the narcissist is bragging about themselves or making false promises. This will make them think that their behaviour is working on you and will only encourage them more. Narcissists are very secretive individuals. They like to conceal the truth from others because it makes them feel powerful internally. They believe and feel one thing while attempting to persuade you of the exact opposite. They will go to any length to keep their small and large lies from you because they want you to believe who they show themselves to be. And now that we know who they really are, it will be much easier to avoid being deceived by them in the future.
