Understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is defined by a range of traits including grandiosity, lack of empathy, and an exaggerated sense of self-importance. These behaviors can manifest as a struggle to maintain meaningful relationships due to a tendency to prioritize one's needs over others'. Moreover, narcissists often exhibit manipulative behaviors, such as gaslighting and emotional abuse, which can deeply affect those close to them. It is crucial to understand these symptoms not only to identify narcissism in oneself but also to recognize it in others.
