Understanding Narcissism
Narcissism is characterized as a personality style rather than a formal diagnosis, emphasizing the distinction between being narcissistic and having narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissistic individuals often display a low level of empathy, a sense of entitlement, grandiosity, and an excessive need for admiration. Their behavior is often a facade to cover underlying insecurities and shame, manifesting as anger or victimhood when faced with criticism or setbacks. Recognizing that narcissism exists on a spectrum allows for a better understanding of the variations in narcissistic behavior and its impact on relationships.
