I’ve noticed that Narcissists hate themselves and who they are, they refuse to better or correct themselves, instead they will make things worse for others to compensate for their own lack of self improvement. For example, if they notice any insecurity that someone might have of themselves, they will try to heighten that insecurity and exploit that person to make themselves seem like they are the dominant norm or acceptable person. They feed on others insecurities even if they are minor or situational and are convincing themselves that they live in a world that is of high standard. Their behavior is completely pathological toward others. When you hate yourself, you refuse to respect yourself and you become envious of others who don’t have that problem. Hating yourself is a self created illness that becomes impossible for one to heal from because of the toxicity you induce on yourself, it is much easier to work on your problem rather than suppress it and run away from reality. Anyone that hates themselves hates life, and life is the only thing we have that helps us cope with life itself. I feel sorry for narcissists, they really struggle only to keep getting worse.
