This is absolutely true. Narcissists in particular are very good at lying to themselves since they can never be at fault for anything ever, so they will always proceed from the default assumption that they are blameless and then reason out a way to "explain" that to others. I've seen it countless times. They'll start professing their innocence before they even understand fully what they are accused of.

It's pathological. A narcissist's self-image is extremely fragile, which is why they are so quick to defend it against any and all perceived slights. Unless/until they are faced with irrefutable rock-solid proof of their own wrongdoing, almost any narcissist will never even consider the possibility that they might be at fault for something.
