Deep dives
Understanding Narcissism and NPD
Narcissism encompasses a range of personality traits characterized by a sense of superiority and specialness, but these traits differ from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), which is a clinical diagnosis requiring specific criteria. While many people may exhibit narcissistic traits, only a small percentage of the population is diagnosed with NPD. Those with NPD have severe issues with self-image and empathy, making interpersonal relationships particularly challenging. Historically, concepts of narcissism can be traced back to Greek mythology and later expanded upon by figures like Freud, framing it as a fundamental issue of ego and self-perception.
