Why does a narcissist insist on "your special day" as a personal spectacle that you have to direct?

A narcissist's insistence on making "your special day" a personal spectacle often stems from their intense need for control and attention. They want to be at the center, even when the focus should be on you. This behavior reflects their struggle with empathy and their desire to overshadow others' experiences to reinforce their own importance. Understanding this can help you set boundaries and protect your emotional well-being. 💡🎭
