There is a way to tell if someone is humble or prideful.
When you describe to someone how they have hurt you, asking that they please stop treating you in this way, you will see pride when they rage with anger. From then on they will do mean covert things against you in an attempt to cause us to become angry. If you become angry then they can feel justified in treating you disrespectfully because of your response to their antics.
When a humble person is confronted by someone who says they were unkind, the humble person will feel embarrassed and apologize. Humble people hate to harm others. If they have unknowingly done something unkind, they will want to make it right.
Those who walk with Christ do not engage in covert sly attacks directed at one person whom they think will be a good target.
Kind and loving godly people enjoy blessing everyone, no matter who they are, they are more likely to remove themselves from contentious people than engage in a fight with anyone.
When we see someone who chooses covert unkind attacks to cause hurt in others, that is the real person, the nice persona others see is phony. A truly kind person does not do mean things in private or toward those they do not enjoy, they are kind to everyone all the time, even their enemies.
When we refuse to engage in the games of the narcissist, when they know we have figured them out, then we can expect for them to run away., but their gossip against you will continue.
Proverbs 28:1 "1The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, But the righteous are bold as a lion. "
