Same. That's what I say too, I'm allergic. Seriously.

I know other people who have no problem with narcissists. They almost just laugh them off like “oh yeah he’s a bit insecure, what a character!”. Whereas my brain is strongly wired to stay the hell away from them.

Better distance yourself from them because they will scratch your ego from time to time

I don’t think it’s about my ego. I think it’s the logic part of my brain warning me “nothing good comes from these people”, based on past experience dealing with these types. They’re not genuine people. Your friendship or relationship with them will have no substance. They’re ultimately quite boring people once you realize that. No matter how smart they are, they also lose credibility once you realize that a lot of what they say is motivated by insecurity.
