Narcissists also never apologize.

Has anyone ever heard dumb shit ever apologize for anything? I grew up with a narcissist and I never once ever heard her apologize for anything. And if something she started went wrong she simply was silent and never admitted to it.

I know he is never to blame for anything.

The closest I ever came to seeing my own family's narcissist apologize was a vague acknowledgement that circumstances led to an unpleasant result of her actions, but obviously she didn't accept responsibility for that result.

That projection stuff is really hard to deal with. The poor projectionee gets blamed for stuff they never even dreamed of doing.

It's one of many unattractive traits NPDs have, and Little Donnie displays.

I have never had a problem admitting when I was in the wrong because I usually found that it made the relationship better and helped me to grow. But narcissists are so emotionally stunted they can never own up to anything.
