The Difference Between Normal and Narcissists

I have added one sentence to point number 4, as clarity for the believer. I have no evidence that this writer is a believer, but these points can be compared to the Bible in terms of the character of a believer in Christ.

Excerpts from Kim Saeed,

* We treat people with respect because we innately believe they are worthy of it. Narcissists treat those close to them with disrespect. They only act respectful towards “outsiders” as a way of maintaining their image.

*We offer love and acceptance to others because we know that’s why we are here and because we enjoy it. Narcissists only take love and acceptance. That’s all they know since they operate only from ego.

*When conflict arises, we are able to let it go and move on. Narcissists must get revenge.

*We trust in the good of all people. Narcissists believe everyone is just like them. (Here I (Gwendolyn Wehage) would add that believers choose to believe someone is acting out of kindness until it is proven they are not)

*We like to help people feel good about themselves and feel relief when a conflict has been resolved. Narcissists like to fight.

*We take responsibility when we’ve made a mistake. Narcissists blame everyone else.

*We enjoy being compassionate. Narcissists enjoy being manipulative.

*We often participate in careers and hobbies that serve. Narcissists only do what serves them.
