NARCISSIST: Tips for Dealing with a Narcissistic Personality

What are the weaknesses of a narcissist?

How do you control a narcissist?

Narcissism involves self-centered, arrogant thinking and behavior, and a lack of empathy. These tips can help you recognize and cope with a narcissist.

Having a narcissist in your life can be frustrating and emotionally challenging. Your relationship may revolve around them. You may feel judged and exhausted by their demands.

Previous researchers have distinguished between “vulnerable” and “grandiose” narcissistic types:

• A vulnerable • narcissist’s outward shell of self-centeredness and self-absorption masks a weak inner core. • In contrast, grandiose • narcissists truly believe in their own greatness—and they may even be almost as good as they think they are.

Both are varieties of narcissism, but particularly those of the grandiose type may share the larger “Dark Triad” traits, along with so-called "Machiavellianism" (manipulativeness) and psychopathy (lack of remorse and empathy).

Let’s learn more about what narcissism is, how to deal with narcissists—and even a bit about what to do if you feel you’re becoming one yourself.
