What is your reaction to "inferiors"?

We've all been there. That one person who you think is the most insufferable, weak, or pathetic human being ever to walk on this earth. How do you, as narcissists, react? (Violently, passive-aggressively, etc.?)

Depends entirely on the situation. I'm not going to treat them a certain way if it makes me look bad or if they are in a position to make things difficult for me. My instinct would be to take a very polite but condescending attitude, although my behaviour isn't likely to reflect the extent of my negative feelings towards them.

Feel personally hurt by their imperfections and try to criticize them into becoming perfect

Pure disgust. I would ignore them, hoping to god they get exterminated sooner rather than later.

Am I the weird one that actually wants to provide them advice on how to grow their ego so that they can convert from an underdog to something greater?

Get out!

I think it depends on where you stand with your disorder and which childhood forces are pulling your personality around. I can relate: I like to make people "better". I tend to err when it comes to people's own wishes in that regard.

I promoted a friend once, but he refused. I didn't get it.

It's because you take on their problems on your own. Typical borderline behaviour.

After reading a couple of your posts, I wonder: You do realize that typical NPD behavior is rather toxic to society? Have you never had the wish to better yourself? Stop hurting people and all that? You sound a lot like myself two years ago ...

I've never thought that way.

Even if I'm objectively stronger than everyone, equating stronger with better isn't rational. Thinking I'm superior can't improve my outcome, and would likely damage it.
