Narcissists often believe they're perfectly normal, and it's a core part of their personality. They have a skewed self-perception, viewing themselves as superior and flawless, while perceiving others as beneath them. This distorted self-image blinds them to their own toxic behavior and makes them resistant to self-reflection or change. To narcissists, their actions and attitudes seem entirely justified, even when they cause harm to those around them. This self-assuredness in their normalcy can be a significant barrier to recognizing and addressing their narcissism.
