Understanding Narcissism and Its Types

Narcissism is defined as having a positive self-view, lack of empathy, and a need for admiration. There are three main types of narcissism: grandiose narcissism characterized by self-importance and a sense of entitlement, vulnerable narcissism where individuals are more introverted and anxious, and narcissistic personality disorder, an extreme form impairing life. These types exhibit varying levels of ambition, charisma, and emotional vulnerabilities.
