🗒️ Seven signs indicating that your friend or acquaintance is narcissistic (actually arrogant), and it's wiser to minimize interactions with them:
1] You've heard them gossip and talk badly about others more than once regarding their looks, mistakes, clumsiness, flaws, body odor, values which they don't approve of, weight gain etc.
2] They seem to expect too much from you while not giving enough in return. They have a sense of entitlement, constantly expecting attention, sympathy, freebies, gifts and compliments from you while clearly not bothering to reciprocate your favors.
3] Whenever you unintentionally upset or disappoint them, instead of making effort to understand your situation or kindly asking why you didn't follow through on a promise or agreement, they act childishly passive-aggressive, give you the silent treatment for several days, or carry out plans to teach you a lesson. Then after soothing their hurt ego, they behave as though there wasn't any drama.
4] They try their best to always look flawless while not caring at all about how you appear, not because they genuinely appreciate inner beauty and a strong personality but because they want their overall image to outshine yours.
5] They're awful listeners yet demand that you listen to all the supposedly fabulous stories they invent about themselves purposely designed to make you feel jealous or insecure.
6] They frequently roll their eyes or scowl whenever you want to inform them something, as if they find your statements boring and insignificant.
7] From their body language, unpleasant aura and disrespectful attitude towards you, it is easy to tell that they envy your life, confidence or achievements. You hardly receive congratulations and words of encouragement from them yet they expect you to treat them like VIPs 24/7 as if you're their compliant servant.
AstaghfurAllah Al-'Atheem.

📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "No one who has the weight of a seed of arrogance (atom's weight of kibr) in his heart will enter Paradise." A man said, “But a man likes to have nice clothes and nice shoes.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, Allah is Beautiful and He loves beauty. Arrogance is to disregard (or reject) the truth and to look down on the people."
