5. Do you honestly believe your opinions cancel out the validity of others’ opinions?
Narcissists believe that their opinions are the only ones that matter.

When asked how they need to grow and change, a narcissist might mention material goals like wanting a nicer house or making more money. But personal growth? They don’t think they need it. Narcissists craft a tightly controlled image of themselves, and admitting they need to grow implies they aren’t complete. The hidden shame they live with prevents them from accepting this.
