Are you concerned that someone in your life is a narcissist? A narcissist can be a romantic partner, family member, friend, or co-worker. Here are common characteristics we see in narcissist individuals: lack of empathy, arrogance, entitlement, grandiosity, and a tendency to manipulate and/or exploit others to get what they want. Victims/survivors of narcissistic abuse often feel a distortion of their reality, loss of self-esteem, decrease in confidence, hypervigilance, and as though they are “walking on eggshells.” Gaslighting is a tactic often used by the narcissist to have the victim question their reality; they often find themselves in a loop of self-doubt and, in severe cases, questioning their own sanity.
