Narcissism from the inside out

Narcissism is a common phenomenon, yet people exposed to it feel often isolated and alone. When reaching out to experts, many don’t have the expertise and get disguised by the narcissist’s manipulations.

It is a phenomenon that occurs way too often at work or in romantic relationships. Until the person exposed to narcissism is aware of her/his situation, quite some damage on the person’s sense of self has already been done. It is therefore, as well as due to the manipulative behavior in public, social, and legal situations, essential to educate both social workers, child protective services, and lawyers. In order for them to understand and interpret a narcissistic situation early, to support rather than jeopardise the exposed person’s situation. This can be situations related to child custody, separation, divorce or domestic violence.

 

But what are the characteristics of a narcissistic personality?

 

First of all, narcissism is an essential component of mature self-esteem and basic self-worth. Yet, if this self-affection is only healthy to a degree and if it is the primary motivation in interpersonal relationships to protect one’s sense of self, the unhealthy narcissistic personality disorder starts. Manipulation, devaluation of others, lying, and the use of white crimes, are only a couple of examples.
