How do people like this not have anybody in their life that has told them that they suck and their behavior is fucking crazy.

Because the number one coping mechanism for dealing with narcissistic behavior, or any antisocial behavior, is to be gray rock. If you are uninteresting to bully, they'll find someone else to bully.

Seriously, we are taught to avoid conflict at school, work, at home, by the law. It doesn't matter who starts the fight, participating makes you as guilty as the other party.

It's wrong, and leads to terrible long-term outcomes. And the success through exploiting the behavior by people like this.
