Summary
A common identifier of narcissism is the inability to receive input, as well as a refusal to tune into others' feelings and perceptions. Dr. Les Carter explains that behind such a pattern is a deeper issue...Narcissists have declared themselves to be the keepers of truth. They must be right. The more you can see through a narcissist's need to lord over you with their version of false correctness, the less inclined you will be to fall prey to their domination tactics.
