Narcissists associate mistakes with shame. Sadly all of us make mistakes. The only way a narcissist can feel good about self is to pretend they make no mistakes like others.
The most insecure people are those who must hide the mistakes they make to appear superior.
Those who are secure in Christ are not afraid to say, "I did something silly" or "I know I should have....."
The reason narcissists never grow beyond a bratty six year old mentality is because we cannot grow when we deny our mistakes, sins and failures, warts and flaws.
1 John 1:9 "
"9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Confession is cleansing promoting emotional and spiritual growth. Those that never confess do not grow.
