How Narcissists Always Manage to Be the Odd One Out (And Why It’s Hilarious)

You know those people who just have to be the centre of attention, no matter the occasion? Yeah, I’m talking about narcissists — the true masters of turning a good time into a one-person show, whether you like it or not. And let me tell you, they have an uncanny knack for being the odd one out, every single time.

Take this classic example from the Queen’s Jubilee, where thousands of people were coming together, sharing food, drinks, smiles, and good vibes — basically a big, happy, free-for-all celebration. Everyone was pitching in, giving away goodies for free, soaking up the community spirit.

And then there’s her — my narcissistic mum — charging people for outdated ice cream. Yep. Not just charging, but serving half-empty, borderline ancient tubs of ice cream to unsuspecting customers, while the rest of the crowd was basically throwing freebies around like confetti.

I mean, who does that?

Only a narcissist could turn a day of unity and generosity into a mini soap opera about her empire of overpriced freezer snacks. The funniest part? When her ice cream scam was called out, she wasn’t embarrassed or apologetic — oh no, she got angry because how dare anyone ruin her spotlight moment.

This kind of behaviour is pure comedy gold. Narcissists thrive on chaos and control, so being the odd one out is their secret weapon to grab your attention — even if it’s just to be the villain of the story.

Here’s the thing though: while they might think they’re the star, everyone else sees the ridiculousness from a mile away. And honestly? It’s kind of liberating to laugh at their antics and just keep shining your own light.

So next time you spot a narcissist trying to hijack the party with their latest stunt — like charging for expired ice cream at a national celebration — just sit back, sip your free drink, and enjoy the show. Because nothing says “odd one out” like a solo ice cream hustle in a sea of generosity.

Remember, laughter is the best revenge (and the best survival tool).
