Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a severe form of narcissism that harms social and intimate relationships through extreme self-centeredness and manipulative behaviors. Characterized by entitlement, arrogance, and a superiority complex, individuals with NPD can significantly affect their loved ones' mental health. Although only 1% of the population are diagnosed, the prevalence is believed to be higher. Living with a narcissist can be toxic, necessitating careful planning for anyone wishing to escape a relationship with such a personality, which includes securing finances and privacy without alerting the narcissist.
People often casually refer to selfish behavior as being "narcissistic" but true narcissism runs much deeper.
Narcissism is one of the "dark" personality traits in the Dark Tetrad, along with psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and sadism.
Narcissists often have control issues and unhealthy competition with those around them.
Living with a narcissist can be extremely toxic; eventually, close family can decide they've finally had enough.
