Demanding others to answer again. He refuses to answer questions himself. Pure narcissism.
Here is the evidence:
In Summary:
- Control and power: Demanding answers keeps them in control of the conversation, while refusing to answer ensures they remain dominant.
- Avoiding accountability: They evade responsibility and scrutiny by deflecting questions directed at them.
- Projection of superiority: They believe they are above the need to explain or justify themselves.
- Manipulation and gaslighting: They use questions to manipulate and destabilize others, while avoiding answers to stay unchallenged.
- Fear of vulnerability: Answering questions would expose them to criticism or rejection, so they avoid it.
- Dodging responsibility: Refusing to answer helps them avoid acknowledging mistakes or wrongdoing.

@Cannonpointer as you both can see, Veghead is no fan of all of these mirrors I am throwing in front of him. Introspection is a fatal enemy to the narcissist. Think of it like sunlight to a vampire.
He may very well kill himself. But who cares?
