Narcissism symptoms
The traits that a narcissist can have are listed above. When you have self-confidence you are not a narcissist! When this turns into being full of yourself, and deliberately wanting to hurt others, it could very well be that you are dealing with a narcissist. Psychologists themselves have difficulty diagnosing a narcissistic personality. It is therefore not the intention to immediately label someone who strives for success.
- Constantly seeks admiration
- Talks only about himself
- Preferential treatment
- The world revolves around him
- Materialistic
- Strives for success, power and wealth
Hidden narcissism
Someone with hidden narcissism will probably shower you with gifts and has a caring and loving nature in the beginning of the encounter. Soon this will turn into jealous, controlling, annoying and critical behavior. This can manifest itself in physical or verbal confrontations, but you can also have to deal with degrading behavior from the narcissist. A narcissist extols himself and is known to put his victim down. This is very damaging to self-confidence and self-love. A person who is narcissistic does not care about this, and this is because they see themselves as a priority and can therefore show little or no empathy for others.

Detach
Disconnecting from a narcissistic personality can be experienced as intense and difficult. Because a narcissist tries to make the other dependent, there may be a fear of abandonment. This makes it even more difficult to disconnect from the behavior and to increase and rediscover your self-confidence. Disconnecting is mainly about retrieving realistic thinking. A narcissist can ensure that the other person also continues to believe in his lies. It is therefore important to trust your own healthy thoughts, and to learn to trust your intuition (again).
Breaking patterns through awareness
You can break patterns that have arisen in yourself by a person with narcissism through awareness. Learning to deal with the problem more consciously ensures that you can defend yourself against criticism. It can be a vicious cycle of grief, pain, and blame that leaves you with no room for reality. It is important that you write down your emotions and discuss them with someone you trust.

Gaslighting narcissism
Narcissistic personalities will constantly want to draw attention to themselves. When an emotional situation occurs, and you seek empathy from the other person, a narcissistic personality will not offer it, and will not admit guilt for the consequences of his behavior. What characterizes a narcissist is that they often surround themselves with empathetic people who can fill the void. The relationship is mainly characterized between one person who gives and the other person who takes. There is no balance in the relationship, and the imbalance causes you to be overstimulated, overtired, and restless. It's a pattern that makes you fall into repetition. Gaslighting narcissism is the denial of the consequences of the narcissist's behavior, which causes you to become confused.
Narcissism promises and deeds
The promises a narcissist can make differ from the actual reality. Many future promises can be made, with no promises being kept, which can cause confusion and mistrust within the other.
Narcissism from trauma
Narcissism can arise due to certain experiences, which ensures that the story behind the person plays more than reality. The empathy you experience for the other person with narcissistic symptoms plays a bigger role than the reality in the present. This makes it even more difficult to disconnect yourself in wanting to offer support to improve the situation. It is then extremely important not to put aside your own emotions and priorities, and to set boundaries.
