Narcissism is often perceived as grandiosity, but recent studies highlight the importance of hypersensitivity, emphasizing that vulnerable narcissists are highly sensitive yet still seek attention. The Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale (HSNS) aims to measure this sensitivity, yet research on the scale has been scarce. A new study from FernUniversität in Hagen aims to fill this gap, suggesting that understanding hypersensitivity can foster a more compassionate approach toward individuals who exhibit narcissistic traits as they may be more fragile than they appear.
Narcissism is not just about grandiosity; recognizing hypersensitivity in individuals can provide a clearer understanding of their personality dynamics.
The study by Sabrina Schneider and colleagues emphasizes that hypersensitive narcissists are self-centered yet deeply affected by others' perceptions.
