A life coach has shared the five signs that will help you spot a narcissist during an argument - and what they made to make you look like the bad guy.

Mark Fennell has been helping people transform their lives for over 20 years and he frequently shares his life-changing tips on his TikTok account, where he boasts over 65,000 followers.

Throughout his time as an Ireland-based mentor, he came across his fair share of self-centered people and has issued a warning to viewers when dealing with them.

In a viral video, which has so far amassed over 7.2 million views, he shared the five indications that you're dealing with a narcissist.

He captioned the clip: 'How to spot a narcissist in an argument. My five signs they might be narcissistic.'

'I've been life coaching people for 20 years and I've seen my fair share of narcissistic behavior,' Mark said before jumping into the signals.

The first sign you're dealing with an egotistical person is if they always 'play victim.'

The life coach explained that narcissists never believe they are the 'cause of anything whatsoever.'

'They're always the victim and they will always play the victim card,' he added.

Moving on to the next key, Mark said narcissists refuse to take accountability for their actions and will 'deny' being at fault.

'Number two, denial. They will always deny everything and anything that points at them as being the cause, they will never take ownership and will never take responsibility, instead they will deny,' he noted.

Another sign that will point to someone being a narcissist is when they attempt to turn the conversation around on you.

'Number three, deflection. They will deflect away from themselves and suddenly, you'll find that the conversation is becoming about you and not about them,' he explained.

The fourth signal that you are in an argument with a narcissist is obvious when they begin to gaslight you.

Mark said: 'They will gaslight you, they will make you doubt how you perceive the situation, they'll say things like, "Oh it wasn't like that", or, "Oh I didn't mean it like this."

'They will make you doubt what you believed happened and how you recall what happened.'

Lastly, narcissists will become aggressive when they don't get what they want.

'When all four other options have failed, they will attack and become aggressive. This is to intimidate you and make you back off,' he said.

People flooded the comments section and praised the life coach for his advice.

One person said: 'They're exhausting.'

Someone else added: 'The true victim is never allowed to get their point across.'

Another user wrote: 'They are the victim or the star of every story!'

'Spot on,' someone else added.
