What’s the difference between a narcissist and an egotistical?

narcissists seek validation... and boost their mental condition by taking you down... egotistical care for themselves, and even if they hurt you, it has nothing to do with you...

not that it makes any bigger difference... both hurt AF

[rachel776]

narcissist is a medial diagnosis. egotistical is an adjective

@rachel776 I never knew that 💕

As your friendly relationship coach here to sprinkle some clarity, let's dive into the fascinating world of narcissism and egotism! A narcissist often has an inflated sense of self with a craving for admiration and tends to lack empathy. On the other hand, someone egotistical might be self-centered but doesn’t necessarily crave admiration or lack empathy. Both can be a rollercoaster in relationships, but with a little awareness, you'll spot those red flags in no time! 😉

Brad and his friends should take over the moderator jobs.

They are both pretty Much the same thing , someone that thinks their shit doesn’t stink that only cares about themselves, they do not know how to give the same way they want to receive , they act like they were put on Earth to be catered to and that everyone loves them or wants to be with them. They are selfish people that only want what’s best for themselves , if they don’t get their way , they run to someone else to save them. They are both Pieces of shit

Egotistical is easier to spell... and pronounce. Otherwise, they mean the same.

Both the people are helll immature. So stay away from them. They really need a therapy😶lol. anyways the difference between an egocentric and a narcissist are while both are self centered, the egocentric thinks of themselves as invulnerable, the narcissist is coming from a place of insecurity well disguised with their mask, even a mask of being humble and kind it's a mask still the same. An egocentric is not going to mirror you to get you to fall in love. An intelligent high functioning narcissist can make an egocentric look ridiculous. A narcissist is manipulating, calculating and plays the long game of grooming you and then sucking every ounce of energy from you.

An egocentric, while obnoxious to be around just wants you to adore them, their conceit is in plain view. With the narcissist who they are is hidden to that last moment right before they take their mask off. :)) hope u get it💖💖

The term "Narcissist" is mostly a buzzword used to label everything and nothing.

When it is not a buzzword, when it is meant to legitimately dicuss psychology, then it usually talks about adults who were raised by dysfunctional parents not able to care for them and secure them enough in their development. Which has a lot of implications.

The term "Egotistical" is also a label, this time used without a psychological background to designate someone self-centered.

I expect to see both terms used as interchangeable as they are overlapping.

[sage2021]

A guy who is egotistical is more into himself and his desires.
He can come off as being cocky and thinks he's God's gift to women.

A narcissist is more sinister and does more damage to a woman. He hurts her and doesn't have any empathy either.

He can gaslight you and not even care.

They are bad dudes and you should stay away from them.

@sage2021
What’s gaslight?

[sage2021]

The term Gaslighting came from an old movie from the 1959's titled "Gaslight".
The movie is about a regular woman married to an insane doctor.
In the movie, he does things to drive her insane.
He constantly does things around the house that she finds that he did something bad to, then when she asks him about these things that are happening, he denies knowing about them and tells her she's imagining it. So after a while, she begins to doubt her own sanity and he really gets to her until she does finally not even know who she is anymore and lives this horrible life of this insane doctor deliberately driving her to question who she is anymore and what happened to the woman she used to be.

So, yes, narcissist men (and women too) do things to the person in their life, like a love relationship, marriage, committed, or even someone they barely know.

These people are sick 😷 in their heads!! 🗣️

I really pray 🙏 that you never get tangled up with a narcissist because you will never be the same after they screw with your mind.

There are vulnerable narcisssts (mostly female) and egotistical narcissists (mostly male).

Vulnerable narcissists want reinforcement they are superior whilst egotistical narcissists don't need reassurance because they know their shit doesn't stink.

[ProbablyClueless]

Narcissist is pathological self centeredness. Like, to the point that the person is doing counter productive things out selfishness.

Being egotistical just means that you have an extremely high opinion of yourself.

[Likes2drive]

Either one is bad to be with but Brad was right about the definitions , a narcissist is probably worse than a egotistical person, both would have issues dealing with people and out for themselves

[Twalli]

Narcissists are egotistical people who want their own love of themselves to be in others. In other words, egoists love themselves and see themselves as pretty amazing people. Narcissists seek for others to see that in them too.

Same thing more or less. Human beings came to planet Earth uploaded with those things - in order to survive in a wild environment.

[jahaims]

One is a personality trait and one is a mental disorder

[BLP11520]

Well the first never take responsibility for their actions it’s your fault not theirs. It’s all about them and their selfish behavior

[CuriousMufuxka]

Egotists accept defeat every once in awhile.

[RedInnocent69]

We’re all egotistical. A narcissist is a special

[Crazzyyworld]

I think it’s the same thing. Men scam women anyway. They can do anything

[Celticwolf78]

A narcissist doesn't want to take the blame and acts like he or she did nothing wrong and egotistical believes he is better than everyone

[Bklynbadboy12]

It's pretty much the same thing

[Asker]

I thought so

[CubaPirate]

Not much they're both self absorbed
