Illusion of Control and Narcissism:

Illusion of control and narcissism: The illusion of control is a common characteristic in narcissism, particularly grandiose narcissists, who often show a biased and unrealistic — and objectively inaccurate — overestimation of their ability to control their environment, fueled by their core traits of grandiosity and entitlement. Grandiose narcissists may feel special and expect automatic compliance from people and situations simply because they desire to, ignoring real-world constraints or the agency of others. They may attribute successes solely to their unique abilities (extreme form of internal locus of control), dismissing luck or external help that feeds the illusion. Failures, conversely, are often blamed on others (externalizing), further protecting their false sense of control. Also see:

• Perceived Control Theory of Narcissism (PCTN) suggests the perception of control is a key factor in differentiating narcissistic subtypes, with grandiose narcissism aligning with the illusion of control. 
• Narcissistic abuse include control tactics for optimizing the illusion of control and leveraging power dynamics.
