10 Ways To Spot A Narcissist

Chances are at some point during your life you’ve encountered a narcissist.
Possibly a family member who thinks they are smarter and better at everything than you
Or maybe a friend who manages to make everything about themselves and nobody else.
Interacting or having a narcissist can be draining but how do you spot one?
Here are 10 ways to spot a narcissist
1 - They’re extremely likeable at least at first - Narcissists are great at first impressions and come across as very charismatic and personable that’s why they perform well in job interviews but their perfect, positive image never lasts long
2 - They always manage to make the conversation about themselves - Narcissists always manage to make everything about themselves, you could be talking about how your mom is sick and soon you’ll be hearing about the new car they just brought
3 - They like materialistic things - I’m not saying all shopaholics or all materialistic people are narcissists but one of the hallmark traits of narcissism is the desire to display high statues and that is done with material items.
4 - Appearance is everything to them - Narcissists are not necessarily more attractive than other people but they do take care of their appearance as they place an importance on looking physically attractive
5 - They hate criticism - Nobody likes to receive criticism but narcissist hate it and are hyper sensitive to it
6 - They blame everyone else - Narcissists tend to blame and pin the blame on everyone but themselves, they are excellent at making excuses.
7 - They are entitled - Narcissist believe they are superior to everyone else and deserve special treatment, they also believe others should be obedient to their wishes and rules don’t apply to them
8 - They are manipulative - Narcissists may be nice to you at first but eventually their own needs will come first, they will try everything to get what they want, manipulation, exploitation and controlling behaviour
9 - They need admiration - Narcissists need constant praise or admiration to boost their already massive ego.
10 - They lack empathy - Narcissist are unable or unwilling to empathise with the needs, wants or feelings of other people.
Do you recognise any of these signs in someone you know? Do you think you know anyone who is a narcissist?

    I live with a narcissist family member. It's really tough, been happening for years. Hopefully he will move out soon. I cant even believe how my relative has all of this 10 traits. Its like a detailed description of him. I think narcissism is one of those mental illnesses that people tend to not take seriously, like bipolar or depression. They meet someone cocky or full of themselves and they think "oh that one is a narcissist". It can be true, but it goes beyond that. Narcissist truly believe they are better than you, they can humilliate you, they want to be above you and if you don't kiss where they walk they will make your life a living hell. That, of course, is if you are in their personal circle; because with acquaintances and other family members they will be as charming as they can, leaving you thinking if you are the problem. It's a really sad disease as it's almost impossible they'll seek help, because they just are not able to accept that they have this mental thing. In their minds they are absolutely perfect and it's everybody else who is in the wrong.

    Dated an abusive narcissist for 3½ years. Example: When I got very sick with pneumonia and influenza-b, he went on and on to anyone who would listen about how my illness impacted him. When I was depressed, he would yell at me and tell me that I was overriding his "empathy" (he actually thought he was a powerful empath 🙄. If he had been, I'm pretty sure there would have been even MORE fights than there were. You can only walk on eggshells for so long before you start thinking very bad things). But yeah, I was overriding his empathy and he was in a bad mood and it was my fault. Now, he was in NY at the time and I was in VA and this admonishment was taking place over a phone call. Because he'd seen a Facebook post of mine where I posted a gloomy picture. If we played games and I won, he would pout. If he won, he gloated. Oh and if i proved him wrong, with irrefutable proof (like a word definition on google) after he'd argued and yelled that i was the one who was wrong (yup over something that petty) he would have a convenient "seizure" and suddenly he had no memory of the argument. Oh and he just couldn't be held accountable for something he couldn't remember! And I was being a child for trying to. He did have a seizure disorder, but this happened too often and the memory loss a bit too precise for it not to be a tactic. Why did I stay with him for 3½ years? I was damaged and emotionally broken and my self esteem was basement of the Mariana trench low. I also have a myriad of emotional and mental illnesses that made me a lot less likely to stand up for myself. Took an entire personality overhaul (not an exaggeration, I'm DID, integrated. I literally became me) to be strong enough to kick him to the curb. He was also schizophrenic, but I have lovely friends who battle schizophrenia as well, so I blame the narcissism and the man himself. There really is no excuse, even mental illness, for the verbal and mental abuse. Also a cheater and a liar. But those go towards his selfish narcissistic need to put his wants above all else. He still claims (to others, I have no contact with him) that he's too empathic and helps everyone with their problems. Lol.... maybe, if you can tolerate the bullying, one-upping and basic disinterest in anything you say unless it directly impacts him... nope... still not a helpful person. Geez I just get on here and put novels in your comment section. Sorry about that. No one wants to read 5 pages of my life lol. Great video and concise clear points. Also, to anyone in a relationship: if you feel you have to walk on eggshells, tiptoe around anything that might cause conflict, and/or find yourself crying every day and just feeling sick to your stomach when they call... get out! You are worth so much more! They are not going to change without some giant boot in the butt, and maybe not even then. Don't waste your love on someone who won't love you back. You are worth love and kindness and being happy in your relationship. You deserve better. Set yourself free, because they aren't going to.

    How do you refer to it as type 2 as I was diagnosed with Bipolar alone 21 year's ago & now for 11 year's they call it Scitzo affective disorder & that's more accurate in my case? Also all Mental health provision has been removed here in Britain for people with Chronic condition's& med's through clueless G.P's is the order of the day. It's only one half of an Alcoholic couple who attended our church that asked if I had one or two 🕊
