Narcissists will "parrot," mimic, copy and plagiarize the ideas and themes they learn from self-help or therapy sources. Since they lack the emotional intelligence and empathy required to learn from the information and change their thinking and behaviors. Instead they just "say" a lot. You may have noticed how circular conversations take place and how frustrating that can be. Often, it is within these interactions that they will throw out phrases or things they have heard as if it is something they believe and embody themselves.
