Narcissism is having an exaggerated sense of self-importance and thinking you’re superior to others. Narcissists tend to only care about themselves and lack empathy. Most people have a mix of narcissistic and empathic traits.
Narcissism is of two types:
- Overt
- Covert
Overt narcissists are people who openly display their narcissism. They’re usually extroverted, have high self-esteem, and are the loudest person in the room.
Covert/vulnerable narcissists also aim to be superior to others, but they accomplish this goal in a subtle, socially adept manner. They have a core shame wound that they’re trying to overcompensate for with their narcissism.
