Q
conversational narcissist
A
Conversational narcissists enjoy hearing themselves talk. It doesn’t matter if you talk about your greatest feat or greatest fear,
I think I do it somewhat habitually. Thinking it’s good conversational style, showing that I’m listening, rather than bringing it back to me, all the time, inquire about the more common deeper, or insights & rich, understanding, and what they just said.
- You always seem to have a “better” story or similar one. Whatever they have done, you’ve been there too! Note: depending on the conversation, this could be good, or perhaps bad. If they are telling you about an exciting thing that they’ve done, or experience, then I would do well just let them have their moment. However, if they are experiencing pain or suffering, then, perhaps this would be an opportunity to share my experience strength and hope.. Too nice to tell you the truth, they might just avoid you altogether.
- You try to relate their story to something in your life! You wait for your opening to jump in and steal their thunder, bringing the conversation back to where it rightly belongs – on you!
- You don’t think people have much of interest to share.
