What is Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
Feb 10, 2025
The word Narcissist derives from the story of the Greek god, Narcissus. Narcissus, who upon seeing his reflection in a spring fell in love so deeply that he essentially killed himself. He was so distracted by his own beauty that he neglected all other aspects of life – including all other human interaction and even feeding himself.
An individual with Narcissistic Personality Disorder is described by the Mayo clinic as somone who has an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they’re superior to others and have little regard for other people’s feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
In my opinion, this disorder is one of the more prevalent and least diagnosed disorders, due to the fact that a genuine narcissist would rarely seek counseling or any other type of psychological support or assistance. According to the narcissist issues are never their fault, it is always the fault of those around them.
