What is narcissismo?

Narcissism is a personality disorder characterized by a grandiose sense of self-importance, excessive need for admiration, and lack of empathy towards others. Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are preoccupied with fantasies of power, success, and attractiveness, and may exploit others to achieve their goals.

Some common traits of narcissism include:

  • Exaggerating their own achievements and talents
  • Belittling or dismissing others' accomplishments and opinions
  • Expecting constant admiration and attention from others
  • Feeling entitled to special treatment and privileges
  • Taking advantage of others for their own gain
  • Having a lack of empathy for others' feelings and needs
  • Reacting with anger or resentment when criticized or challenged

Narcissism can negatively affect relationships, as individuals with NPD may struggle to form genuine connections with others and prioritize their own needs above all else. Treatment may involve therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes to help individuals with NPD develop more empathy and healthier relationships with others.
