Of course he does.

He knows he's lying but he can't admit it. His ego can't handle the truth.

People with heathy egos can survive criticism. We might not like it, we might not agree with it, but our brains generally handle it and move on. Maybe we learn and change. Maybe we decide the criticism was wrong, but we shrug it off.

Narcissists can't do that. I've had the misfortune to have several close to me. It's crazy making and infuriating. Apparently they have psychic pain but I admit I have little to no empathy for them. That's why I'm not a mental health professional. I judge people!
