A grandiose sense of self-importance; exaggerates achievements and talents
Dreams of unlimited power, success, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Lacks empathy for the feelings and needs of others
Requires excessive admiration
Believes he or she is special and unique, and can only be understood by, or should associate with other special or of high-status people (or institutions)
Unreasonably expects special, favorable treatment or compliance with his or her wishes
Exploits and takes advantage of others to achieve personal ends
Envies others or believes they’re envious of him or her
Has “an attitude” of arrogance or acts that way
Of all the narcissists, beware of malignant narcissists, who are the most pernicious, hostile, and destructive. They take traits 6 and 7 to an extreme, and are vindictive and malicious. Avoid them before they destroy you.
