Quick takeaways

Narcissism can be categorized into two main forms: grandiose narcissism and vulnerable narcissism, with the former exhibiting self-centeredness and assertiveness while the latter involves low self-esteem and a strong desire for attention.

The Big Five personality traits, including openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism, provide a framework for understanding narcissism and its manifestations, with low agreeableness and high extraversion commonly associated with narcissistic traits.

Gaslighting is a manipulation tactic used by narcissistic individuals to distort reality and cause emotional harm, making it important to recognize manipulative behavior and establish boundaries when dealing with such individuals.

Narcissism and its Forms

Narcissism can be categorized into two main forms: grandiose narcissism and vulnerable narcissism. Grandiose narcissism is characterized by a sense of entitlement, self-centeredness, and assertiveness. Individuals with grandiose narcissism often appear charismatic and are successful in various areas of life. On the other hand, vulnerable narcissism involves low self-esteem, neuroticism, and a strong desire for attention and validation. These individuals may struggle with emotional regulation and have difficulties in forming stable relationships.
