Narcissistic personality disorder affects 1-2% of Americans, but many experience relationships with narcissists. These individuals may initially seem attractive due to their charm and energy but often display negative qualities over time. Amy Brunell, a psychologist, categorizes narcissism into three types: agentic, communal, and vulnerable. Among these, agentic narcissism is the most recognizable and toxic, characterized by grandiosity, self-promotion, and a lack of regard for others. Understanding these dynamics can help individuals navigate relationships with narcissists effectively.
Narcissism captures attention due to its allure, with narcissists initially appearing charming and engaging, yet ultimately revealing toxic traits over time.
Brunell's insights divide narcissism into agentic, communal, and vulnerable types, illustrating varying manifestations of self-centeredness and entitlement among narcissists.
