This is the first of a 7 part series “The 7 Habits of Highly Narcissistic People” in which Dr. Hawkins talks about seven signature traits that narcissists have.
Do you have someone in your life that always has to be right, always has to have the final word, and will never admit even a remote possibility that they may be wrong? The first is something we see all the time in our clinical practice at the Marriage Recovery Center. Highly narcissistic people love to be right and will stop at nothing to prove you wrong, even on small, insignificant matters. When someone is only concerned with being right and not at all concerned about understanding the other person, it only creates distrust and disconnection in a relationship. Find out what to do if you are in a relationship with someone who always has to be right.

So excited for this series….ty🤍
Some guy and I were talking in a cafe when we heard a record playing on the background. He identified one of the unique instruments in the recording. I'm formally trained on the subject and new he had misidentified the instrument. He insisted he was right–gaslighting me by trying to make me doubt what I knew to be true. He said he grew up around the instrument. I told him I played the instrument. He even Googled it to no avail, as he didn't even know how to spell the instrument's name. Suddenly, he buried his head in his phone, stopped talking, and seemed depressed–probably realizing he was wrong about the instrument, which caused a narcissistic injury. Sad that you can’t even have a simple conversation without a narcissist trying quite hard to prove he’s right. In the few minutes of conversation I had with him, he managed to exhibit all seven of the habits of a narcissist you mentioned. It’s important to know how such people behave so we don’t leave feeling emotionally bullied by them. We can just identify what they are doing and push back or distance ourselves from the person and not have to waste your time feeling frustrated when the conversation finally ends.
No point of view other than their own can ever exist!
I was married to one. Thankfully he’s in my rear view mirror.
Beautiful, well said…❤
Im so traumatized I can barely sit through the information that I need in order to identify and heal. It was a 23 year long marriage and three years later I am still so very triggered by this subject and have barely moved on. I'm in hell.
Husband actually told me my feelings about how he treated me weren’t valid!!!
Your videos are so true. Could you please go into detail about the smear campaign and also reactive abuse throughout the 7 characteristic especially with #4 and #7 with playing the victim. Thank you 😢
Recommending affirmation of one’s thinking, feeling, discernment, is excellent advice- to keep one grounded. And keep on journaling!
And they love ridiculous word salads!
Never challenge them. I'm dealing with a covert narcissist who has to be right. It's like those that work with him are extensions of him. Literally points, motions with his hands and directs like people are remote controlled robots. Along with that he deems his perspectives are superior. He's not as smart as he's convinced himself to be. These people are terribly difficult to integrate with. I'm so sick of being devalued, emotional outbursts, treated like an adolescent that knows nothing and not being respected.
5 out of 7 🤨🤨
I have to thank you once again for taking the time to make these short clips because they are so helpful to anchor me back down from the"crazy making" lifestyle I currently reside in at the moment.. still trying to make a life for myself somewhere else but it has become quite challenging in several categories.
So much appreciate you Dr Hawkins and your mission!❤ I can't wait to meet you in person!
They "specialize" in it for sure
Thank you! Very helpful! Blessed me! Praise Jesus!!❤️🙏🏼🥲
Wow, you have described my mother to a very fine point. Everything, and I do mean everything, had to be done her way because there was no other way and her way was the only right way. I learned at a very early age to do things the way it worked best for me and to not say anything because my mother wasn't aware. It was the only way to navigate my childhood. She was also very unaware of anything that went on around her unless it directly involved her. She was very argumentative with everyone and always had to have the last word, even to the point of screaming at me in the phone and slamming down the receiver. She passed away several years ago and I can actually see her arguing with God about how things should be because she was that contrary about everything – she had to be right and even if she could be proven wrong she was right – in her mind. She was such an unhappy person in life and I hope she found peace when she passed.
Spot on all 7.
