12 Signs of Toxic Narcissistic Behavior

To determine if you’re in a relationship with a toxic person or narcissistic abuser, consider which of these behaviors you experience on a regular basis. Each time you answer “yes” give yourself 1 point. If you have five points or more, you’re most likely dealing with a narcissist.

The Toxic 12 Quiz

  1. Does the person always put their needs and priorities first?

  2. Does the toxic person respond in a way that makes you question your own thoughts, memories, and events occurring around you? And yet are the tables turned when you bring up a valid complaint, leading you to forget the issue and focus instead on your own behavior?

  3. If you disagree with an opinion or decision, are you called disloyal, negative or antagonistic?

  4. Are you made to doubt simple actions such as buying a household product at the store?

  5. Do you find yourself taking the blame for things that aren’t your fault?

  6. Do you find yourself apologizing a lot?

  7. When your friends or family members express concerns about what’s happening, do you defend the abuser or come up with excuses for their behavior?

  8. Does this person behave negatively towards you, but pleasant towards others? And, when you ask for the same treatment, are you told you’re the only person who has a problem with them?

  9. Have you lost your identity, ambitions, values, and beliefs?

  10. Do you feel belittled, devalued, or dismissed?
