Do Mindful Narcissists Exist?
Briefly

A meta-analysis from the University of Vienna involving over 10,000 participants found a weak negative correlation between narcissism and mindfulness (r = -0.10). This suggests individuals with higher narcissism levels tend to be less mindful. Researchers categorized narcissism into antagonistic and vulnerable types, with both showing traits that hinder mindfulness. Antagonistic narcissism is marked by entitlement and aggression, while vulnerable narcissism features sensitivity and self-pity. The findings reflect broader implications on workplace performance and interactions, emphasizing the challenges narcissists face in achieving mindfulness.
In examining narcissism and mindfulness, researchers found a weak but significant negative correlation, indicating that higher levels of narcissism are associated with lower levels of mindfulness.
Antagonistic narcissism is clearly defined by entitlement and dominance, while vulnerable narcissism reflects insecurity wrapped in a desire for validation, both failing to foster mindfulness.
