Everyone knows a narcissist, even if you think you don’t. Narcissists are everywhere: they are coworkers, parents, partners, and former friends.
Some of the most well-known personality traits of a narcissist are that they are arrogant, selfish, self-interested, manipulative, lack empathy and compassion, and lastly (but most importantly) like to control people. Yes, narcissists will use you to meet their own needs and do not care at all about what they do to you in the process.
Each zodiac sign has certain personality traits that are common to individuals, and just like your zodiac sign, we can look to astrology to see what types of narcissists we are likely to have. By knowing this information, you can be sensitive to the signs of a narcissistic personality.
Narcissism is a fairly general term that covers a wide range of narcissism, from extreme narcissism to subtypes of narcissism. You could be a narcissist, and there are many tests you can take online to determine if you have narcissistic personality disorder.
When you are involved with a narcissist, it can be very damaging to your self-esteem and feelings of self-worth. Being able to recognize one of these things can be the first step to taking back your power.
Narcissists are toxic people, although most would be shocked to hear them described this way. They usually have rational reasons for behaving the way they do, and getting them to change is very difficult.
Once you are involved with a narcissist, you will be very careful about not getting involved with someone else. But she can be charming and deceitful enough that she may let your defenses down. If you can avoid interacting with a narcissist, do so; If not, proceed with caution.
Narcissists are very manipulative, so any information you have is a weapon you have for battle. Once you can identify the type of narcissist, you are sure to stay away from them.
