A TikTok creator warns that narcissistic friends, much like narcissistic romantic partners, can have detrimental effects on mental well-being. Unlike romantic relationships, narcissism in friendships is often harder to recognize. These friends drain emotional energy by making every interaction about themselves, failing to support their friends in times of need, and competing rather than celebrating successes. Typical behaviors include dominating conversations, ghosting during difficult times, and offering backhanded compliments. Ultimately, friendships with narcissists can leave individuals feeling exhausted and devalued, reinforcing the importance of recognizing these traits early.
A friend who's a narcissist doesn't just drain you, they use you. They make everything about them while giving you the absolute bare minimum in return.
In their mind, every moment is a chance to prove that they're superior. If you get a promotion, they've already done better.
