Narcissism 101Narcissism is quite the hot topic these days. It seems like everyone is trying to define "narcissist." So, what actually is the definition of a narcissist?According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders (DSM -5), in order to be formally diagnosed as a narcissist or as someone with narcissistic personality disorder, a person must meet at least five of these nine traits:
- exaggerated sense of self-importance
- obsessed with grandeur
- convinced they are unique
- need for constant admiration
- extreme entitlement
- manipulative personality
- inability to empathize
- jealousy or thinking others are jealous of them
- haughty and arrogant
Can someone have less than five traits and still be considered narcissistic?Why are narcissists the way they are?How do I keep my sanity while having to deal with such a difficult and inescapable relationship?...wait, am I just imagining things or am I being overly sensitive as I've been told?It's NOT you!To learn more about how to protect yourself from these toxic personalities, check out my book Dealing with the Unavoidable Narcissist in Your Life today (available on Amazon and Audible).#narcissistmeaning #narcissistdefinition #definenarcissist #narcissisticpersonalitydisorder
