What Is A Narcissist?

Key characteristics of a narcissist include:

#Insecurity: Despite their outward confidence /arrogance, narcissists often have fragile self-esteem that is easily wounded by criticism or perceived slights.

#Grandiosity: They have an inflated sense of their own importance, talents, and achievements. They often believe they are unique and superior to others. They flash any cash they have publicly, to give others the appearance of them being financially well off and so they seem "superior".

Need for #Validation: Narcissists require excessive admiration and validation from others. They often seek attention and praise to reinforce their self-image. Their victims tend to be empaths, people-pleasers, or women in a low mental-state, as they feel sorry for him and fall for his fake victim story.

Lack of Empathy: They have difficulty recognising or caring about the feelings and needs of others. This makes it challenging for them to maintain healthy, reciprocal relationships.

Their Relationships: The narc finds a victim (who is typically an empath, a people pleaser or in a low mental state at that time) and uses a fake sob story of having been "abused" by his ex, so she feels sorry for him. The girl falls for his charm but gradually recognises the narcissistic traits including him love bombing, gaslighting and bullying her, and using coercive control and projection etc. Typically, the girlfriend realises and dumps him, which results in her being harassed, stalked and publicly slandered by the abusive ex. The ex eventually finds a new victim and the pattern repeats.

#Entitlement: They believe they deserve special treatment and expect others to comply with their wishes and demands. They do whatever they want with no consideration for other's feelings, including the girlfriend, wife, family members or friends. If you don't do what they want, it ends in an argument. Narcs tend to get their wishes because it's safer and easier for the partner.

#Exploitation of Others: Narcissists often take advantage of others to achieve their own goals, showing little regard for the impact of their actions.

#Arrogance: They display haughty behaviours and attitudes, looking down on others and believing they are better than those around them.

#Envy: They are often envious of others and believe others are envious of them.
