A narcissist, by definition, is someone with excessive self-love. It's not so much that they pretend to be someone they're not, but more often it is that they cannot control the high regard in which they place themselves. They see themselves as a level higher than the rest, and when someone does not meet criteria they see in themselves, they often become haughty and that "someone they're not" that you are talking about.
Some narcissists may personify their pets as an extension of themselves or to receive admiration and attention from others. They may also view their pets as objects that reflect their own status or image.
Some narcissists may become violent, especially when they feel threatened, challenged, or criticized. Their lack of empathy and need for control can make them resort to aggressive or violent behavior to assert power or intimidate others. It's important to be cautious and seek help if you or someone you know is experiencing violence from a narcissist.
A megalomaniac is someone who has an obsessive desire for power and control, often with delusions of grandeur. A narcissist is someone who has an excessive sense of self-importance and a lack of empathy for others. One key difference is that megalomaniacs seek power and control, while narcissists seek admiration and validation. One way to distinguish between the two is to observe their behavior - megalomaniacs may be more focused on dominating others, while narcissists may be more focused on seeking attention and praise.
Well, narcissists love themselves, so it is hard to recognize anyone else's authority over them. They might have a problem (as most people do, actually) with anyone who uses their authority to make rules or decisions that they disagree with.
In general it is agreed that the most common careers for narcissists are those that grant automatic respect such as doctors, pastors, teachers/professors, or the military. There are plenty of other jobs that narcissists might gravitate towards, but these are a few of the most common. "Malignant Self Love" by Dr. Sam Vaknin

Theyre probably calling you hurt.
Because they are narcissists and that type of behavior is in their nature. You need to educate yourself about narcissism. The Mayo Clinic website is a good place to begin. Dragging someone else down makes them feel like they have power.
