Why do narcissists avoid accountability? #shorts
Why do narcissists avoid responsibility and accountability? Why do they blame shift, accuse others of doing the very things they do themselves?
"Since [narcissists] deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world’s fault. Since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad. They project their own evil onto the world. They never think of themselves as evil, on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others. "– M. Scott Peck, M.D.

Ten Signs of Narcissistic Rage
Narcissistic rage is a term that was first coined by Heinz Kohut in 1972 in his book ‘The Analysis of the Self’. It refers to how a narcissist reacts to what they would consider to be negative feedback, or when expectations are not met. This causes a discomfort that triggers an exaggerated angry response often out of proportion to the perceived offence.
This video outlines ten signs of narcissistic rage and how it differs from a normal outburst of anger.
