Self centered narcissists only need one person's advice, their own.
When we ask advice from a narcissist they see us as weak and foolish. They may even withhold helpful advice to watch us fail.
Here's the truth: everyone needs advice from time to time from others. The wise person finds the person who was successful at what they have done and ask that person how they managed.
Proverbs 12:15 "15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel."
Since a narcissist needs to be special they have a low tolerance for instruction or correction. They never ask for advice and if it is unsolicited they become angry.
As a child I noticed that people were always offering unsolicited advice, but in our culture now, unsolicited advice is seen as an affront and will not be tolerated.
Proverbs 11:14
"Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in abundance of counselors there is victory."
Proverbs 13:10
"Through insolence comes nothing but strife, But wisdom is with those who receive counsel."
Proverbs 19:20
"Listen to counsel and accept discipline, That you may be wise the rest of your days."
