@harleigh90 has covered it really well. living with a narcissistic person is a living nightmare, more so if it’s your parent (s). a lot of personality disorders can blend and parts of each show throw. Also, And.. A lot also depends on the relationship with the person, a parent, a partner, a sibling, a son or daughter, or a friend or a work colleague or boss. Each is slightly different on how they will interact with you and treat you. How their narcissism manifests it’s self.

Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:

Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerate achievements and talents
Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
Take advantage of others to get what they want
Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Be envious of others and believe others envy them
Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office

It's a personality disorder so they wouldn't tick a certain box, they may have some traits but may also know how to hide others. They could be someone who needs excessive attention and admiration, many suffer lack of empathy, a sense or crave for power, sensitivite to criticism, could hold a grude, be shy and quiet then speaks excessively.
They generally know what they are doing, creating a scene then playing it out, anything to gain and be admired.

If you want to help or support someone you think is displaying traits. I'd say educate yourself on this disorder. If they are willing to accept help, therapy is best. Maybe counselling depending on triggers such as neglecte or abuse (just examples) Things to expect if you're supporting them to change is they may turn on you, shift the blame. They need to want to change to see improvements.

Whenever you are talking the person changes the subject to their own topic, no matter what you were talking about. Had a friend who would do it almost without fail.

They always try to one up you. They insist you drop everything to help them, but they never lift a finger to help you. They react to hardship by being assholes to those close to them. They go blank when you talk about things that aren't them. They completely change personalities when they're around different people. They always have a different recollection of events than what really happened. They never apologize and always see themselves as the victim

Guy13 · Answer

These opinions are halfway right. Often, your most Nasty of Narcissists are quite, secluded, and high achievers. All of them have “a thing” about them that’s there to lure people in.
-Narcissists crave attention/reaction in any form. They stir the pot. Getting you upset…I hate you is as good as I love you or you’re awesome.
-All kinds are Puppet String people.
-Some are Narcissist with either Sociopathic or Psychopathic symptoms or diagnosis.
-Use you and throw away or in prison you so that you can not leave and continue pattern.
****Biggest thing is a dissociativeness.
-Can’t attach to pets.
-Lets Mom rot in nursing home without visit, etc. No reaction when cry/laugh expected.
-Everything and everyone is a Tool.
-smother and/or separate you from others with Attention, guilt, shame.
-it seems to be a brain 🧠 disorder.-Lots of different theories.

Someone who is self absorbed, who doesn't take your feelings into consideration. They are manipulative, controlling, users who prey on those who are empathetic & agreeable. They want someone who feeds their ego, who doesn't challenge them in anyway.

Are they better and more logical than you in every conceivable way? 🙄

Seriously, can we stop pretending that "narcissist" is a thing outside of the term's PROFESSIONAL use?

Blue haired females who want an excuse to believe in satanist lizard people from Mars should not be allowed to use psychological terminology.

GlassTop · Answer

They make tik tok videos all the time, take lots of selfies, show off their money/clothes/etc., want attention, pretend that they care about others but they will always include themselves in everything. They say “I” a lot. Outward appearances is extremely important to them.

Anonymous · Answer

Some things may include telling you you’re imagining things, it’s all in your mind. It can get to the point that you start to question yourself, like really am I exaggerating or am I wrong. Putting you down, telling you no one else is going to want you. You’re worthless. They call some of this gaslighting. Having a high importance of oneself.
