In this brief conversational clip, Speaker A challenges the common question of whether they are a narcissist by asking if they ever feel guilt, asserting that feeling guilt indicates they are not a narcissist. Speaker B labels the behavior as dysfunctional. The dialogue expands on core narcissistic traits: a lack of guilt, shame, or acknowledgment of wrongdoing, and an unwavering belief in being right. It also touches on narcissistic parenting, describing how such parents may criticize or abuse without ever apologizing, implying that they view any need for apology as the child's fault.

People will always ask me, am I a narcissist? And I'll go, do you ever feel guilty? Oh yeah, all the time. Then you're not.
You're just dysfunctional.
You're just dysfunctional. No, right. A narcissist is not going to feel that guilt. They don't feel— what have they done wrong? They're always right. So why would I feel guilt about anything? Or shame. So if if you felt that, you're probably less likely to be a narcissist. If you but a parent can be a narcissistic parent, and they they don't they can abuse you, they can criticize you, they can but they'll never go oh that my bad. That that was they won't apologize. Do that. Why would they apologize? You made them do it.
