Narcissistic Behavior

7/16/2014

0 Comments

 
According to PsychCentral, "Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), an overwhelming need for admiration, and usually a complete lack of empathy toward others. People with this disorder often believe they are of primary importance in everybody’s life or to anyone they meet. While this pattern of behavior may be appropriate for a king in 16th Century England, it is generally considered inappropriate for most ordinary people today. People with narcissistic personality disorder often display snobbish, disdainful, or patronizing attitudes."

Full-on Narcissistic Personality Disorder is relatively rare (only 6.2 percent of the population), but narcissistic traits are seen often in individuals. Have you met that person who is only interested in themselves, is patronizing, a know-it-all, or has no empathy for others?

The Huffington Post online posted an article in April about a 21 year old woman in Australia who hit a cyclist with her car while she was texting. She was apparently very upset because her car was dented, but she had no sympathy for the cyclist who's spine she fractured. This type of behavior is not only disgusting, but also dangerous.

The world is full of wonderful, genuine people who are concerned about others. Seek out those people and align yourself with individuals who build you up, not pull you down.

Be interested, not interesting.
