How does one deal with a narcissistic personality who thinks she/he is always right and, furthermore, uses language in a way that belittles another person?
I think personalities like the above feed off of debate and argumentation. Remember, we're talking about a personality type that systematically demeans another's words.
Take certain novels, for example, where there always needs to be someone in control of a group of people, where part of the novel's development is concerned with the tension of someone always wanting to control other human beings.
I once worked for a narcissistic, controlling personality. He loved being in control. One afternoon, after he left, I rearranged my office. (I was a Publication's Editor for an association.) The next day when I came to work, he had rearranged the room the way it had been the day before.
