Episode notes
Narcissism vs. Self-Esteem
- Narcissism differs from self-esteem, having maladaptive traits.
- Narcissists view the world through a zero-sum lens, hindering genuine appreciation of others' success.
NPD as Severe Narcissism
- Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) can be seen as a severe form of narcissism, not a separate entity.
- Context and abilities influence whether narcissism leads to success or failure, like with "failed narcissists."
Grandiose vs. Vulnerable Narcissism
- Grandiose narcissism involves assertive self-promotion and devaluation of others.
- Vulnerable narcissism stems from a similar self-view but struggles with self-promotion and achieving desired outcomes.
