How to Know If you are experiencing NPO ?

1. Are you a Unilateral Listener

Unilateral Listener is the person who only listen to his own feeling , They are very much stubborn to listen to others advice and they won't even care to listen what others feel . Narcissistic listening dismisses, negates, ignores, minimizes, denigrates or otherwise renders irrelevant other people’s concerns and comments. A tone of contempt is particularly strong narcissistic indicator.

Often they would be using the word “BUT” which indicates they are negating others thoughts and feelings .

2. Are you a Self-Esteemed person?

It's a feeling of “Only I Know more , I Know better , I’m more interesting “. During conversation you don't care to listen to others , only want to talk about yourself and want others to enjoy what you speak. As a result you will be facing strong criticism from others that you will not like it . Least care to think why you have been criticized .

When you want something, you need to have it. Never mind how you feel about it; it’s all about me. You are big and important and you are merely also here, mostly to do things for me, like a third arm.

3. Having a feeling you are only great ?

Feeling that only you will do better , only you are great and others are a level step behind . Then surely it's a sign of Narcissistic personality disorder. For example if a rule has to be followed , they think it's only for others why should I follow. They experience themselves as above others, so the rules don't apply to them.

4. Having a feeling others concerns are really criticising you , and hate being criticized ?

When others take concern and give some advice , others insist on your listening and taking your concerns seriously , you're likely to get mad ?

You love to criticise others but when they in turn criticise you , you will say your feelings are hurt , how others can hurt my feelings ? This is because you care about yourself .

If you are doing this frequently , doesn't means you are bad and others are only good . Please do consult a psychologist. Narcissists paradoxically manifest both an inflated idea of their own importance and quickness to feel deflated by negative feedback.

In addition, because they think everything is about them, they hear others’ attempts to talk about personal feelings as veiled criticisms of themselves. The clinical term for taking others' concerns as personal criticism is personalizing. "I'm feeling lonely," gets heard by someone who is narcissistic as an accusation: "You don't spend enough time with me."

5. I'm right. You're wrong. So when things go wrong between us, it’s always your fault.

Are you a person saying whatever mistake you or other do , but it's only others mistake .

Whatever the source of the sensitivity to criticism and difficulty admitting mistakes, the upshot is a tendency to blame others when anything has gone wrong. Blaming and fault-finding in others feel safer to narcissists than looking to discover, learn and grow from their own part in difficulties.

While narcissists are quick to blame, they may be slow to appreciate. Appreciation and gratitude require listening.

6. I can be quick to anger.When I get angry, it's because you?

Some narcissists show major charm and social agility. At the same time, these seemingly super-confident folks also can be quick to anger. When they do become inflamed, they then immediately blame their anger on others.
