Narcissists
will try to make you feel bad, ashamed, and guilty for doing ANYTHING
AT ALL. They will try to make you feel like you did something wrong when
you saved a starving puppy. They'll imply that you should feel silly
about learning a new language. They'll try to shame you for working on a
creative project. They'll cast a shadow on any interest, goal, talent,
or activity you have or do. They'll
imply that all your friendship and acquaintance connections have hidden
agendas. They'll try to imply that you're "OUT OF LINE" when you do
anything at all that's in the realm of confident or normal behavior,
that's in the realm of participating in anything, that's in the realm of
learning or accomplishing or achieving anything. They will try to turn
your going to the movies into some kind of evidence that you are a "bad
person" who can not be trusted, and should be shunned. They'll do it TO
you, and ABOUT you to others. Their appetite for control and elevating
their own image by trashing others is seemingly endless.
