A red flag of Narcissistic people is how they
lose interest in the conversation with you when they no longer like the
subject. They were not engaged in talking WITH YOU, they were engaged in
receiving the attention they were looking for FROM you. As soon as you
start talking about something they don't find interesting or find
uncomfortable, they will suddenly fade away~ they have to go, or there's...
something else going on, or they have a pain in their leg, or they're
tired, any reason to end the conversation. Sometimes they will even make
an announcement that the conversation is over, as if they are your
authority; either way, if they are being passive-aggressive, or outright
rude, they are asserting control over you, and showing that their
conversation with you had nothing really to do with their interest in a
reciprocal connection. They don't want to hear what you have to say
unless they LIKE what you are saying, and agree with it; its not about a
connection with you.
They don't know that non-narcissistic people like to have reciprocal conversations, that they enjoy hearing the thoughts and opinions and observations of people they know. They often don't know that differing points of view are GOOD, and not cause for enmity, but actually build connection between people.
