Opening

We've all had our ears assaulted by the Narcissist.

Whether he is a braggart who pollutes our ears with his "I... I... I..." chant or the whining emotional hoarder, all Narcissists believe they are the centre of the Universe.    All see the world from their twisted perch and have  no idea that other people  have ideas, feelings,  lives, in short; exist.

Narcissistic personality disorder is not a  rare condition.  There are many people who have an inflated sense of their own importance, and a hungry need for attention and admiration.

They have an exaggerated sense of entitlement and demand constant and excessive admiration.  Narcissists expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it.

Narcissists exaggerate their abilities and are preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, and their own brilliance.

They will monopolise conversations, expect special favors, demand unquestioning compliance.  They take advantage of others to get what they want.  They have no perception that other people have needs and feelings.

Narcissists may behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious, requiring the best of everything.   At the same time they can't handle anything they perceive as criticism.    They can not manage any idea of insult or slight paid to them, either real or imagined.

Narcissists have serious interpersonal problems.  They easily feel slighted, finding insult where there is not deference.  They may react with rage or hysteria at any innuendo they are not perfect.

Narcissists need to be the Centre of Attention. Whether they are babbling about their successes or whining about their pitiful childhood, you are 'required' to focus on them.

You must give them your undivided attention. At all times.

Hence, the 'key' to shutting them off is in your hand.
