What is narcissistic monologuing?
Angela White
Monologuing means giving people one sided lengthy talk.
Narcissists love to talk about themselves. With they exceotion of covert narcissists who love talking about their misery, they only talk about the good stuff, not their past failures or mistakes. Sometimes they lie about their stories, other times they exegerate or twist them just a little to make them more impressive.
I found it really interesting to observe, they’re just like little kids who like to monopolise or interrupt the conversation, and they always see everything as a competition. Imagine a child telling another child “my dad bought me a dog yesterday”, then the other kid say “really? Well, my dad bought me 5 dogs yesterday”. That's how narcissists are.
Covert narcissists are the same, only instead of monologuing about their achievements, accomplishment and how fantastic they are, covert narcissits monologue about how miserable they are to gain attention and sympathy. If you tell them a sob story, they will dismiss it by telling you their even more dramatic sob story. They just have to be the most miserable and unfortunate people in the world.

This is a fascinating question,
Often thought of as a rant, the mechanics behind narcissistic monologue are not complicated yet fascinating to understand.
Also known as insensitive talkers who dominate conversations, excessive chatters, as well as poor listeners, the narcissistic moonlighting is essentially an aggressive ear bending cerebral straining experiencing which occurs under the disguise of "conversation”.
The Narcissistic monologuing begins with them (the narcissist) initiating conversation by very innocently asking you an open-ended question for the purpose of getting you engaged in the conversation. They then let you speak for a very short time initially appearing extremely interested before suddenly jumping in, interjecting and taking over. Now you're caught. from the narcissists perspective they let you speak (albeit for a short time), so now you're indebted to them.
