Spotting a Narcissist
- Observe if someone consistently interrupts, knows everything, or drives dangerously.
- These can be signs of narcissistic traits, according to Dr. Ramani.
Entitlement and Escalation
- Narcissists often have a double standard regarding time and a sense of entitlement.
- Unchecked, their behavior can escalate, as one lawyer's tax evasion case illustrates.
Types of Narcissists
- Narcissists vary; grandiose ones are attention-seeking, vulnerable ones are passive-aggressive, and malignant ones are manipulative.
- Communal narcissists seek validation through seeming heroic, while self-righteous ones are judgmental and rigid.
