I never made excuses to other people for my ex-narcissist's despicable behavior. I did however make excuses to myself. I would rationalize and then try to justify his actions and words. I blamed it on his childhood, or his inexperience with social skills. That's one of the reasons why I allowed the relationship to go on as long as it did...I made excuses. I got out for good when I realized that he would not accept accountability for anything. He actually, truly believes that everyone does and should like, even admire, him just the way he is. I'm referring here mostly to his extreme sarcasm aimed at practically everyone, his criticism, ridicule and insults. He is proud of those things.
As anyone with half a brain knows, when someone ridicules, insults, criticizes and spews sarcasm, they are merely attempting to degrade others while trying to prove they are superior.
Don't make excuses.
