Narcissism is viewed as a negative personality trait, but researchers believe it can also have benefits such as resilience against symptoms of depression and stress. According to a study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, people who exhibit narcissistic traits are less likely to feel stressed and depressed. The researchers believe people who engage in risky behavior, overestimate themselves, are overconfident generally show little empathy for others, are cunning, immoral, and have little shame or guilt.

NPD or N. Traits?

What are the signs that your boyfriend is a narcissist?

Karen Arluck

, Clinical Psychotherapist in private practice

Click headline for link to Quora.

Originally Answered:

How do I know if my boyfriend is narcissistic?

There is a big difference between someone being narcissistic, versus actually having narcissistic personality disorder. There are many people with narcissistic traits and defenses who may be difficult to deal with at times. However, it is important to clarify that this does not mean they have this disorder, as they might even have a different personality disorder because many outward behaviors may appear narcissistic, without knowing more about a person’s underly motivations.

Additionally, most people (even those without any disorders) have some narcissistic traits, whether or not they are aware of it. I think of narcissism as existing somewhere along a continuum. On one end of the continuum is a healthy level of narcissism and getting one’s needs met. On the other end, are people who are acting out towards other people around them, only considering their own needs, etc.

That being said, the following are a few of the many common traits among people who display narcissistic defenses.

Narcissistic Traits and Behaviors:

During conversations, the person excessively talks about themselves with very little interest in listening to what the other person has to say, (even if they ask them a question).

They tend to see situations only from their own perspective, and rarely stop to think about what the other person might have felt or thought.

They have an inflated sense of entitlement, and often feel outraged or annoyed when they experience any consequences for their behaviors.

They tend to blame everyone around them for their feelings or negative situations.

They expect the people around them to cater to whatever they want, or what is most convenient for them, rather than a more balanced approach of finding something that is mutually convenient.

In relationships, they may be low on empathy, but expect a lot of empathy when they are suffering in some way.

They tend to be excessively focused on their own impressiveness, or the impressiveness of people they are connected to (like their children, etc).

They cannot handle any criticism of any kind, even if you point out that they are acting in narcissistic ways.

The point is…

While many people may act in narcissistic ways, it does not mean that they have narcissistic personality disorder, a different disorder, or any disorder at all. Most people tend to act narcissistically at times, and are often completely unaware of doing this. For this reason, I think it can be helpful to instead focus on: what your partner does that feels particularly painful for you, and the reasons why this might be the case, whether this is a person who is capable of listening to your feelings and trying to work through these issues, and if the positives of being with this person outweigh their potentially narcissistic behaviors.

Narcissists Always Knows Best

Why do narcissists fear being controlled?

Karen Arluck - psychologist in private practice

Answered Oct 21 (Click on headline for link to Quora)

It is important to distinguish the difference between someone who acts controlling, versus someone having an actual fear of being controlled. While people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder often act in very controlling ways, this is usually not actually due to a core fear of being controlled by others. (However, “being controlled” is actually a central fear for people who suffer from Schizoid Personality Disorder or adaptations). More often, people with NPD are afraid of being seen as inferior, feeling ignored, being devalued, humiliated, or otherwise unimportant.

These fears combined with the issues below may lead them to wanting control:

They believe that they always know best, and that being in control of the situation makes them feel competent, all knowing, admirable, and good about themselves.

They may believe that they have to be in control in order to demonstrate their worthiness, and that if they aren’t in control, then they have failed and are therefore worthless.

They may look down on those people who are not in control, perhaps seeing them as incompetent, useless, or otherwise unimportant. In this case their fear is of being viewed as they view these other people- as being inferior.

Being in control makes them feel valued by others and important.

By comparing themselves to people without the control in the situation, they are able to comparatively see themselves as superior.

Having people follow their orders increases their confidence that they must be admired by the others.

They have very little ability to see a situation from anyone else’s perspective. and therefore would be unlikely to want to follow anyone else’s lead who wants to do anything differently than they do.

They have a tremendous amount of difficulty admitting that they are wrong, apologizing, or admitting that they don’t know what they are doing. Often they feel they must fake knowing or act as if they are always right, in order to avoid the potential shame and humiliation they associate with admitting fault or admitting they may not know what to do in a given situation.

The point is…

Many people with NPD act controlling for a variety of reasons. This is usually due to their fears of being unimportant, inferior, ignored, or humiliated, not typically due to a fear of being controlled by someone else.
