Well you don't have to be a narcissist to do that lol.
It's the overall package that makes a narcissist. Callous, bossy, manipulative, arrogant, self-centered, etc. all the time.

Another classic reaction is pointing out something you said or did that is hypocritical, and blowing it way out of proportion.
I have developed a strong ability to tune people out at any time i choose.
This usually results in the narcissist not even trying to speak to me ever again.
Has anybody ever told a full blown narcissist that he/she was a narcissist? What was their reaction?
i'd say flat out that they're actions are not on. but being irate is not the key.
their narcissistic nature may make them hunt you down.
sufferers of narcissistic personality disorder have been known to stalk, even kill, people who "cheeked" or insulted them.
How one manages people in life is key. It's not always prudent to aggressively confront people, even if it seems justified at the time. one must pick his/her battles.

I have in the past and as someone else already mentioned, I was met with denial. A true narcissist doesn't believe they're anything but the ultimate being so therefore, it is doubtful that they would even listen. Is it worth the time/emotions/frustration?

Great post and very true!
It's like anything else you might point out to someone that is negative about themselves (though unsolicited criticism is usually going to be met with hostility) they will deny it or make excuses. Not sure why one would want to tell someone they are a narcissist. Why bother going out of your way to insult someone? Unless of course they asked for your opinion or insist on thumping their chest and convincing the world of what a wonderful person they are.
Denial. There are some I've known who I wouldn't even bother saying anything to. They know it all, and they don't like to be challenged.

This is the second thread tonight that I see you preaching psychology when you damn the profession to heck in others. I think you need to talk to someone. You're confuddled.
