Do you live or work with a person who is not only self centered, but is VERY fragile when you want to give any kind of constructive feedback? If so you may work or live with a narcissist. Enjoy the short video below to discover this difficult personality disorder.
Narcissists Have a Personality Disorder
- An inflated sense of their own importance and deep need for admiration
- Feel they are superior to others and have little regard for other people’s feelings
- They hide behind a mask of ultra-self confidence
- Behind this mask lays fragile self-esteem vulnerable to the slightest criticism
My Favorite Book Recommendations on Narcissism

There is a narcissist marginally involved with my life. One problem dealing with this person is he may actually be as important/knowledgeable etc. as he projects.
Dealing with a narcissist that is way overthinking his importance would be a lot easier, I think.
Joyce Weiss says
Al, you bring up a very interesting topic. A narcissist who is actually as important as he thinks he is with others. sounds link you have a handle on this siutation as long as you have set boundaries so he does not demean you/others with his superiority. Keep sending me comments. I do appreciate this.
