“Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that’s vulnerable to the slightest criticism.” (By Mayo Clinic Staff)
However, as people, we are not as “transparent” as we like to believe. We are complicated. We are triggered by different events. We wear masks. We can be brilliantly malevolent and one is none the wiser. Our reactions to situations and people are dictated by our upbringing, experiences… The combination of environment, genetics and neurobiology makes this disorder particularly difficult to treat.
It isn’t easy to spot narcissists in ordinary interactions with them. They are not “conceited” in the sense that it is one behavior that is so evident we can retreat. As adults, they are well-rehearsed in seduction in order to hide what they have learned (not realized as a self-reflection) is unacceptable. Many times, a person involved with narcissists will realize who they are dealing with later in the relationship, when the narcissist is sure that they have secured your trust and feel they have enough control over you to satisfy their needs.
