Narcissists want you to think that they always have everything under control, but some things are beyond the scope of their understanding, and that’s why they simply cannot answer the six questions I’m about to share with you on this topic. You might be surprised to hear that there are questions that narcissists can’t answer because they always seem to have an answer for everything, don’t they?

But what stands out about the questions on this list is that they touch on things that the narcissist can’t access, and I’ll explain why as we go through each of these six questions. Be sure to read until the end because the last one pulls it all together and highlights the frustration of dealing with a narcissist. So let’s start;

Number 1: “What makes you happy?”.
If a narcissist were truly honest in answering this question, the answer would be “nothing.” Narcissists tend to look for things to make them happy, and yes, one of those things is supply, and that often means a new relationship. You were once the thing—the supply—that made the narcissist happy, and this would have been in the idealization phase. This is when they’re idealizing you and they think you’re amazing, before the devaluation phase where things start falling apart. But happiness is an inside job. External things can’t sustain your happiness for very long if you’re truly unhappy inside.
