24:52Now PlayingNarcissists speechify, lecture, hector, ramble, go off on tangents, and rant – never dialog or even listen.
illocutionary act
performative
Narcissists engage in inner dialog among internal objects
Narcissists seek to impress or to manipulate, not to communicate.
Narcissists devalue interlocutors and their opinions, knowledge, and contributions to the conversation
Narcissists overvalue their time and contributions (overperception)
Consequently, the narcissist’s responses and speech acts have little to do with the interlocutor’s (irrelevance). They are focused on self-enhancement and are solipsistic.
