signs a friend might be egotistical, have narcissistic traits and is in competition with you:

They seem to make everything about themselves. Everything. You might be talking about a date gone wrong and suddenly, they’re lallygagging about their ex that screwed them over.

You struggle with getting this person to admit they were wrong about something that hurt you. They refuse. They cut on the charm and talk their way out of admission and infamously turn the table on you. Or they resort to an angry, defensive approach.

They can be very charming, charismatic and **appear** emotionally available or empathetic towards you about bad things that happen to you in your life. If you’re good at reading energy, body language and phrase intent, your intuition would probably tap you on the shoulder earlier

This person can be very passive aggressive. Shady comments followed by laughter, back handed compliments, none at all, subtly comparing the two of you, thinking of themselves as superior to you, wants to keep you near because they envy you. Frenemy energy.
