Being put to shame is to have comparisons made and to see yourself as being flawed, but a refuge can be found, and hope can be restored.
I could see him withering under a hailstorm of accusations. He had a sexual addiction, and he was trying to stay true, but the pornography found on his cell phone sent his self-righteous friends into overload.
He was being ‘put to shame’
Being ‘put to shame’ is to make someone or something seem not good by comparison.

Can you live with a narcissist? Yes, but it might just kill you.
Or it might just starve you from savouring life to the fullest.
One of the most interesting quotes I have come across about stress is this one from French journalist Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber
What I fear most about stress is not that it kills, but that it prevents one from savouring life. Jean-Louis Seven-Schreiber

What does perfect narcissism look like? We can see it in the evil of Satan.
I read a list the other day about the characteristics of those with narcistic personality disorder.
Grandiose Sense of Self-Importance: They believe they are superior and special, deserving of exceptional treatment and recognition.
Exploitative Behavior: They manipulate and take advantage of others to get what they want, often without remorse or guilt.
Arrogance and Conceit: They often come across as arrogant and boastful, displaying a sense of superiority.
Difficulty Handling Criticism: They react negatively to any perceived criticism, becoming defensive and angry.
Preoccupation with Success and Power: They are often fixated on fantasies of success, power, brilliance, or beauty.
Entitlement: An unreasonable expectation of favorable treatment and special privileges, believing they deserve more than others.
Lack of Empathy: Difficulty understanding or sharing the feelings of others, often dismissing or invalidating their emotions.
Need for Admiration and Attention: A constant craving for praise, validation, and attention from others, often seeking it through manipulation or grandstanding.
Envy: Experiencing envy of others or believing that others are envious of them.
Unwillingness to Accept Responsibility: Blaming others for their mistakes or failures, rather than taking accountability for their actions.
I think I could add an eleventh characteristic and this comes from those who have been entrapped by a narcissist into a long-term relationship.
11. An Attractive mask: They have such a beautiful, alluring presence to them that it’s not until you’re deep into a relationship with them that you are able to see behind the facade.
