Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a mental condition where people have an inflated sense of self-importance, a strong need for attention and love, troubled relationships, and lack empathy for others.
It’s more common in men, and its cause is a mix of genes and environment. Symptoms include an excessive need for praise, not caring about others’ feelings, being unable to handle criticism, and feeling entitled.
Signs of this disorder are: thinking you’re really important, being obsessed with success, thinking you’re special, using others for your benefit, not caring about others, and having extreme arrogance. People with this disorder can seem heartless, unable to feel others’ pain, and think they’re better than everyone.
Narcissists are good at manipulating and making you feel guilty or weak. They’re very self-centered and believe they deserve special treatment. But deep down, they lack self-esteem and suffer because of it. Their narcissism is a way to cope.
Treatment can help, but there’s no cure.
