Sadly, narcissists are not highly intelligent or they would realize that their disrespectful words and dismissive attitudes are not going to change those who know the truth.
Truth tellers are those who are bold enough to speak the truth and will not be intimidated by those who attempt to convince them they are insane. They are wise enough to know when to remain silent when someone is not listening.
Bold people do not intimidate easily and if they are wise they will dig in their heals to avoid becoming like the narcissist.
Proverbs 28:1 states, "The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion"
When the narcissists cannot intimidate and control the truth teller they will work to cause others to dislike them through lies and gossip. This doesn't work either because the bold truth-teller knows the truth and cannot be convinced through mocking and demeaning. Knowing the truth is enough for those who love Christ, they need not have friends or followers to remain faithful to God's Word.
The illogical self-aborbed narcissist is not intelligent enough to see these things because they are resistant to correction and learning about themselves, they remain less intelligent by choice.
Proverbs 18:1-3 "1 He who isolates himself pursues selfish desires; he rebels against all sound judgment. 2 A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in airing his opinions. 3 With a wicked man comes contempt as well, and shame is accompanied by disgrace.…"
Proverbs 12:14-16 "…14 By fruitful speech a man is filled with good things, and the work of his hands returns to him. 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel. 16 A fool’s anger is known at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult."
May the man and woman of God understand God's Word becoming strong while praying for those who torment them.
