Narcissistic people have an overinflated sense of self importance and sense of entitlement. They can be very disagreeable and highly resistant to anything that could be considered criticism. There’s also a constant need for attention and admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But they also have a false and very fragile sense of self which can be easily shattered by reality. Because of this they tend to have a lot of deep seated insecurities which can lead to a combination of maladaptive psychological defence mechanisms. One of those defence mechanisms is accusatory behaviour.

This video outlines some of the reasons behind their sometimes outrageous accusations, from deflection and vindictiveness to just low resolution thinking.
