I have problem dealing with narcissist and toxic positivity people. What is Christ teaching on that ?

i.e.
1. When I talk then you should listen and please do that - The person not even know what is happening and just he/she think what is happening. How he/she is going to help and following the instruction ? This could happen from a Pastors or manager or closed family member .

2. Toxic Positivity. Refer to the picture.

If it is true that so many more young people are scoring high on narcissism today than in the past, perhaps this is due to external changes in our environments rather than internal changes in our minds. Yes, we post pictures of ourselves online, and yes this superficially can look narcissistic. But the reasons behind these posts are myriad. Can the current construct of narcissism capture this new reality?
Are we becoming more narcissistic?

The Bible says that "sin is transgression of the Law" 1 John 3:4 and we should repent when we find ourselves in rebellion against God's Word.

So often people are "sad" that they cannot engage in some "Bad thing" or selfish activity, and they are "angry" at anyone who crosses them. The Bible says that such "Sad" and "Angry" moments should be repented of "not celebrated".

In "victim world" all "sad" and "Angry" moments that a person has are all due 100% to the "problems of other folks... I am just the victim of others" and so that person should never have any negative thoughts about being "sad" or "angry".

The problem is that there are "people" on both sides of that "sad" and "angry" fence. At times one is "sad" while the one oppressing them is "angry". The idea that nobody should reflect negatively on moments when they have been either "sad" or "angry" does not navigate the reality of life well.
