Who would say that a narcissist is a positive person? No one. Narcissus, a hunter who is known for his beauty, fell in love with his own reflection. That is why we call a person a narcissist if he has a sense of too much self-importance. A narcissist does not show empathy in situations when it is needed. Instead, they always seek admiration for themselves.
Have you ever met someone and observed that he is grandiose, unable to take criticisms in the right manner, and shows no respect for someone’s feelings? Certainly, you have met a narcissist.
Underlying situations that make a person a narcissist
We cannot deny the fact when we are around such people, we feel negative energies playing around with us. The journey of being a narcissist begins with childhood. When a parent puts the child on a pedestal or controls too much, narcissism begins. When the parent is overprotective or neglects the child, it creates a negative impact. When societies promote too much individualism and self-promotion, unknowingly they pave the way for people to become narcissistic. Men are more likely to get Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Genetics too, play a role in this. People inherit characteristics from their parents as well.
Are you a narcissist?
It is equally important to identify if you feel that you show certain behaviors related to narcissism. Instead of avoiding any behavioral or issue or disorder, it is better to confront it. The acceptance of any disorder would help you to heal it. Life is never about ‘me, me & me’. You cannot always be defensive about your opinions. People can hold a multitude of opinions and it is perfectly fine.
Spot a narcissist
The narcissists manipulate you. Their selfishness is extreme and at the expense of others. Unknowingly or knowingly, they won’t care about your feelings. They exploit you and you start losing confidence in yourself. It ruins your relationships. At the first sight, you would find the narcissist person very charming and they will put more than the required efforts to create a strong bond with you. The moment you are disappointed, they would turn revengeful.
