Narcissism For Dummies Cheat Sheet

Everyone feels special from time to time. Maybe you finally get that promotion you’ve had your eye on at work, or your closest friends surprise you with a birthday bash. But narcissists feel uniquely special all the time and expect to be treated accordingly. This unfounded belief in their own superiority often creates distressing conflict in personal and/or professional relationships. Narcissism is a set of personality traits that lie on a continuum. In other words, some people are a little bit narcissistic while others are very much so and may be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). When you’re dealing with a narcissist, it can be helpful to recognize the common tactics narcissists use and distance yourself from them to preserve your own emotional well-being.
