God's Description of the Narcissist is a Fool

From my experience, narcissists are so foolish that they chase away the empathetic kind, and loving person who would be an asset to them, for a momentary feeling of superiority.
The only people left in the narcissist's life are rude, mean people who use them as they use their rude friends, they are always engaged in silly drama that has no purpose except feelings of dominance.
This feeling is so fleeting that they have to keep doing this over and over again while in a state of continual stress, thinking they are getting something good out of it but there is no good.
Proverbs 28:26: "Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe"
Proverbs 23:9: "Do not speak to fools, for they will scorn your prudent words"
Proverbs 18:2
"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."
Narcissists think they know others but they do not. They assign to others their own thinking and make guesses about others that are not accurate based on the narcissists own mindset. They do not know anyone but think they know everyone and everything.
Narcissists have lots of people around them but no close friends. They have a sour mood they cover up as long as their friends remain loyal to them, and it is all very superficial.
The real narcissist mentality emerges as soon as someone else doesn't elevate them as special. When the friends make their own choices and think differently from them, they punish them when they do not bow to the narcissist. Narcissists are the bossiest and most judgmental people you will ever meet but become enraged if you suggest they think or do something differently.
In short the narcissist is one who is highly hypocritical, they expect to do anything the way they want but others must do things their way. They expect to never be corrected but correct others often.
And, lastly, narcissists gossip with ferocity, as they judge others for the silliest things. If we were to judge their things the way they judge us they would become enraged.
This description of the narcissist is one commensurate with the devil. He is behind the tactics and imaginations of the narcissist, even making the narcissist think it is their own idea.
Proverbs 1:7
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."
Proverbs 18:6
"A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating."
The best way to protect ourselves in these last days of wickedness is to stay away from those who are narcissistic. They bring nothing but trouble to the lives of those who love Christ and then blame the trouble on the believer. There is no value in allowing these people into our lives.
Proverbs 28:26
"Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered."

Trusting Christ Instead of Ourselves

When we pray it is foolishness to pray specifics for a desire because God knows what is best for us. We ought to pray for His guidance and His perfect will for us.
Our silly ideas about what we think we want may be far less than what He has planned for us.
 
There have been many twists and turns in my life that I didn't understand but as I trusted Christ I realized later why they should be and what a blessing it was to be taken from what I thought I wanted to His perfect will.

His will made my will look silly when He showed me His purpose in what He did.

Proverbs 3:5-6
"5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight."
Anyone who thinks they know better than God is foolish!!!!!
