Such people are very good at disguising themselves and are masters of creating appearances. They carefully hide their other, dark face. Of course, for a while. The truth usually comes to light when the victim has already become involved. Then the narcissist begins to destroy them.

The narcissistic personality is a complicated psychological portrait dominated by egoism and criticism. His charisma and charm are a magnet that attracts people. Gifted, successful, or at least appears to be so. He can manipulate and arouse interest. It is easy to fall into a narcissist's trap, but getting out of this trap is very difficult and requires a lot of strength and self-denial.

People suffering from narcissistic personality disorder are characterised by a strong sense of superiority and specialness, as well as a strong need for recognition.

  • Self-centeredness.
  • Lack of empathy.
  • The need for admiration.
  • Belief in one's own uniqueness.
  • Feeling of having special rights.
  • Lack of ability to self-criticise.

    There are two types of narcissism: grandiose and sensitive. A grandiose narcissist is a person who has a strong sense of self-confidence, considers himself unique, is arrogant and emotionally cold.

    In turn, a sensitive narcissist is a person with low self-esteem, prone to anxiety and depressive symptoms. He is characterised by high sensitivity to criticism and a great tendency to compare himself to others.

    Narcissistic personality disorder may co-occur with other personality disorders. It is a problem that affects not only the narcissist himself, but also his loved ones.
