Someone who only thinks about themselves. Talks about themselves a lot to the point it's infuriating and never wants to hear what the other person has to say. They are like vampires. They prey on the people who will listen to them and be there for them always even though they wouldn't do the same.

[DishLady]

I wouldn't. I'd just post a pic of my ex. Picture says a thousand words...

I'm here to spice up your love life, so let's dive into the world of red flags! 😉 A narcissist often boasts an inflated sense of self-importance and craves admiration. They can be charming at first—hello, lovebombing—but tend to lack empathy, making deeper connections tricky. Ghosting? Oh, they're pros at it. It's like falling in love with a mirage. Stay aware and protect your heart!

No two narcissists are built the same remember that narcissists are a case by case basis. There are for instance overt and cover narcissists there is ambivalent narcissists as well.

There are narcissists that immediately upon meeting them you will know he/she is a narcissist. They will display grandiose behaviors, they will brazenly have double standards, be hypocrites, and boast about how much better they are then everyone else.

Narcissists can also show up as a friend, romantic partner, or anyone else. They can talk like and be like everything you always wanted in a friend, partner, coworker, etc. By the time you got them figured out you’re tangled up in their web and they have bitten you with their poison. You may even see the web being cast around you but not be able to admit it to yourself before it’s too late.

Narcissists may make direct mean spirited comments. However, narcissists can be more subliminal about the way they say and do things. It may be passive aggressive. It may be that they act like they’re looking out for you. However they’re really trying to make you question yourself and doubt yourself.

Such as a narcissistic partner may shut down your emotions. For instance a woman may tell her man he’s a pussy and needs to be a man instead of offering emotional support. Since she cannot feel empathy and emotions of others make these people extremely uncomfortable even if they show their own emotions.

But it could be more subliminal. They may offer advise that’s contrary to what you really need to hear. They may say it jokingly or give you advice that whatever. Someone may act for instance as if they’re giving you health advice without calling you fat. But subliminally tell you that

Someone that only truly cares about themselves and can never take accountability for their own selfish behavior or actions , they are never wrong they are always right. They flip stories around to make themselves a victim when really they are a POS, A narcissistic never points fingers at themselves first , it’s always someone else’s’ fault, usually their partners’ fault. They can’t admit to their wrong doings without blaming someone else. Sadly most people have narcissistic traits within themselves but to be a full blown narcissist is very rare to come by , If someone calls you a narcissist it usually means they are the narcissist

[Communicationisking]

It is all about them. The ones that are really good at it or better described as being less detectable can manipulate you into feeling like something they did wrong/they did to hurt you is your fault and you believe it... they are toxic and they will fuck with your head so bad you will get to a point that you will question your own sanity. They literally suck the life out of you till you are dependent on them even though nothing you are doing makes any fucking sense but you do it anyway as to not upset them because if you dare question it or have another opinion they will shut it down/make it your fault or make you feel like you thoughts are wrong until you just won't do it anymore or if you do the cycle continues until you are just worn down and are their slave

There is an official psychological definition of this.

Someone with no ability to love... or care for someone else genuinely. Someone who only feels pain when their own ego is hurt.

[Nikki1989]

A narcissist believes they are superior, and unique, even without showing any significant achievements.

[MisterWack]

Self centered, egotistical, disrespectful, and lacks compassion or empathy for others.

[french_omelette]

This is not a question of opinion, you are referring to someone with narcissistic traits.

[french_omelette]

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) affects 0.5% to 5% of the U. S. population, with estimates suggesting that about 1% to 2% may have the disorder

[french_omelette]

Just because someone has a big ego and doesn't care about others doesn't mean that they are a narcissist. They have to meet 5 of 9 criteria

[Bonnie2025]

My mother is one, she causes drama then tries acting the victim. Puts others down thinks she’s untouchable & better than everyone else. She’s evil to me but will go out her way to be nice to a stranger. I could go on forever about her 🥲

[FunkyMonkee]

Someone like Joey or Skamala who only talk about themselves and how wonderful they are.

[aquamarine321]

I don’t know what that is, only a female can tell you what it is or mean because they use it everyday on every man that exists, ask females they know

[beefcakebradybatson]

T-R-U-M-P !!!(I'm narcissistic, but not the malignant sort like Agent Orange !!!)

[Godihateyou]

Someone you dont like. Thats just a name women call men that are smarter than them.

[Anonymous]

Egotistical and self-centered person who lacks respect for others.

[thegreenyogi]

What a narcissist is in my personal opinion

[thegreenyogi]

Sorry GAG deleted my whole response... let's try again: A narcissist is a person who has an Ego as big as a mountain and believes its the world's duty to appease him, he or she believes that the world rotates exclusively around themselves and that it is in their own right to be cruel or insensitive towards others, said narcissist also is the kind of person who wants it his or her own way and if they don't get their own way they will throw the rattle in the pram and throw a temper tantrum, they will look for reasons to start arguments and lash out constantly treating others like their personal punch bags, they don't like to be ignored or refused and if they are they will behave like a petulant child. What's more they will use the word "me, me, me" constantly in every single sentence when they speak.

[WonderingManII]

What everyone else said already.

With the word narcissist.

@Harris_Lover we have dictionaries.
Narcissism is a self-centered personality style characterized as having an excessive preoccupation with oneself and one's own needs, often at the expense of others. Narcissism, named after the Greek mythological figure Narcissus, has evolved into a psychological concept studied extensively since the early 20th century, and it has been deemed highly relevant in various societal domains.
