What is a narcissistic personality?
Narcissistic disorder is a trait or a personality in which a person displays excessive admiration of oneself and one’s physical appearance.

Narcissists hate it when you stand up for yourself or challenge them. They want their victim to always be in their control, but they dislike it when you oppose them. For example, they don’t like it when you argue with them. Since they want to be the center of attention and affection, arguing with them is like telling them they are not good enough. All they want is for their victims to always believe and follow whatever they say.
3. Being criticized
If there is one thing, people, with narcissistic disorder dislike, it is criticism. Narcissists feel awful when you criticize their actions or try to point their faults to their faces. The reason is that they want to be seen as ‘perfect’ by others. So, criticizing them will make others see them as people with flaws instead of ‘perfect.’

6. Narcissists hate it when they’re not a priority to you
Everyone wants to be a priority to their loved ones, but narcissists over-desire it. They hate it so much when you don’t treat them like the king or queen they think they are. For example, they want you to give up on your needs to meet theirs. They want you to give them all your attention. Not only that, but they want you to make sacrifices for them to prove how much you love them. But if you’re not doing any of these, they think they’re not a priority to you and they feel bad about that.
7. They hate being exposed

In a relationship, narcissists hate boundaries, especially when you keep them in check. They want the freedom to do anyhow and treat you the way they want and go away with it. So, if you want to do what narcissists don’t want, set boundaries for yourself and keep them in check.
15. Commitment
Narcissists don’t want to be tied to one person. They want the freedom to do whatever they want, especially when they’re in a relationship. So, commitment is a big problem for them.
Narcissists are most afraid of not being perfect. They live in a world where they believe they have to be perfect in order to be loved and accepted. This fear drives them to perfectionism and can lead to some serious problems in their lives.
There are a few things that can upset a narcissist: not getting their way, being contradicted, or being ignored. However, the thing that probably upsets them the most is feeling like they’re not the center of attention. So, if you’re looking to upset a narcissist, try giving someone else the spotlight.
Narcissists are known for being self-absorbed, self-centered, and egotistical. They crave attention and admiration and often feel superior to others. So, it’s no surprise that narcissists would dislike good people. Good people are often kind, compassionate, and humble. They don’t seek out attention or admiration and are content with who they are. This goes against everything that narcissists stand for.
Final thought

It’s common for them to respond to criticism with vitriol or deflection. Understanding this can help you identify a narcissist and avoid further emotional damage.
