I Do Not Like Narcissists
I have been hearing the word "Narcissist" being used a lot lately, especially on the news. I thought I had a good idea of what it meant. I thought it just meant being overly proud. Out of curiosity I looked it up online and I found this interesting:
Traits and Signs of Narcissism:
- An obvious self-focus in interpersonal exchanges
- Problems in sustaining satisfying relationships
- A lack of psychological awareness
- Difficulty with empathy
- Problems distinguishing the self from others
- Hypersensitivity to any insults or imagined insults
- Vulnerability to shame rather than guilt
- Haughty body language
- Flattery towards people who admire and affirm them
- Detesting those who do not admire them
- Using other people without considering the cost of doing so
- Pretending to be more important than they actually are
- Bragging (subtly but persistently) and exaggerating their achievements
- Claiming to be an "expert" at many things
- Inability to view the world from the perspective of other people
- Denial of remorse and gratitude
Do you know anyone who sounds like this?
