They reject anything that threatens their delusions, reacting with defensiveness or anger. Those around them learn to tiptoe around their denial of reality.
- Narcissists Lack Empathy
Perhaps the most defining trait, narcissists lack true empathy. They are incapable of genuine compassion and prioritize their own needs above all else. This lack of emotional connection makes them unable to respond to others as healthy individuals would.
How to Deal with a Narcissist
Recognize the narcissist for who they truly are, not who you wish they were. Stop excusing harmful behavior or minimizing its damage. Establish healthier boundaries and focus on your own needs rather than getting caught up in their fantasies.
By understanding NPD, you can better protect yourself from a narcissist’s manipulation and take steps to create a healthier life for yourself.
