Understanding Narcissism
Narcissism is often misunderstood, with many people erroneously labeling others as narcissists based on selfish actions or social media behaviors. Narcissistic individuals are characterized by a constellation of traits, such as variable empathy, pathological selfishness, entitlement, and a deep need for admiration, rather than outright narcissistic personality disorder. It is essential to distinguish between narcissistic traits and mere selfishness, as the overuse of the term 'narcissist' can dilute the experiences of those truly affected by narcissistic relationships. The key point is that regardless of whether someone is clinically narcissistic, what ultimately matters is how they treat others and the signs of emotional neglect or abuse that individuals may experience in such relationships.
