Narcissism 101

7 Reasons Why You Should Never Trust a Narcissist

Number 2: Narcissists speak faster and make more eye contact when lying.

One of the most fascinating things that narcissists do to draw their targets to trust them is they usually make more eye contact when they speak. Imagine someone lying, but they lock their gaze on you, you will be drawn to narcissists like a magnet by their intense stare at you. It will be no surprise that you’ll fall under their spell while one of the definite signs that one could not be trusted is focusing on speech patterns.

Narcissists also, speak faster than ordinary people, they either say too much or not enough. A narcissist will try to deceive the truth with too many words: adding excessive details to convince other people of what they are saying. Also, in a different situation, when asked to answer questions or provide more information typically a narcissist will offer vague or fewer answers than those telling the truth.

It is difficult to distinguish someone from lying but keep in mind that no matter what happens even if the world turns upside down a narcissist will always be a liar and they can never be trusted. Of course, we can categorize people solely based on this trait; many people simply speak faster and make eye contact. Just make sure you understand the pattern.

One of the reasons you cannot trust a narcissist is their envious nature; they are incapable of congratulating others on a job well done.

A narcissist will find ways to undermine your success by asking questions that minimize, deflate, or ignore it entirely. They never want their targets to feel enough, so they make sure that no matter how successful you are in one aspect of your life, they modify their desires, expectations, and criteria for what success really means.

Since they don’t have any regard for the feelings and emotions of other people, they are impossible to please. They have impeccable standards and high expectations of others. So, if they are dissatisfied with something done by someone, they will make sure the other person is aware of it. Worse, no matter what you do, they will disapprove of you because they are envious.
