NPD Symptoms Overview

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is characterized by an exaggerated sense of self-importance, entitlement, and the need for constant admiration. Individuals with NPD often expect special treatment, exhibit grandiosity, lack empathy, monopolize conversations, and belittle others they perceive as inferior. They may have difficulty handling criticism, react with rage, contempt, and demand unquestioning compliance. Additionally, they struggle with regulating their emotions, show impatience, and become angry when not treated specially. NPD can involve significant interpersonal problems, secret feelings of insecurity, and contempt towards perceived inferiors.
