6. Overstating Achievements

There’s nothing wrong with recognizing your achievements, you likely worked very hard for them after all. It is also OK to tell other people, provided that you don’t overdo it. It is also a good idea to avoid over-embellishing the level of your achievements, telling other people a realistic version instead.

Narcissists, however, are so desperate for people to look up to them that they will gladly embellish any achievements they have made. While there often will be some truth in their stories, they will make them out to be far grander and difficult to achieve than is true. It is often the case that other people will find out that the truth is somewhat different.
