People who are obsessed with considering themselves important and superior suffer from the basic characteristic of narcissism.
Self-conceit
There is no denying that everyone has a desire to be important and prominent, but in people with narcissism, this desire reaches an extreme.
Such people only want to hear their own praise and they want everyone to recognize their importance and superiority. Such people give themselves extraordinary importance, consider themselves very beautiful or talented, which not only affects the life of that person but also the lives of many people connected to them.
Tendency towards exploitation
Such people make every effort to position themselves in an important and prominent position. They completely ignore the fact that not all qualities can be possessed by a single individual and that every individual must have some or the other flaw.
But people with this desire are not willing to belittle themselves in any way, and as a result, they often try to prove themselves important by belittling others.
Their negative thinking prompts them to use all kinds of legitimate and illegitimate means to fulfill this desire.
Sense of grandeur
An intense, unrealistic sense of superiority, keeping them in a fantasy world where their status is high.
Lack of empathy
Due to narcissistic behavior traits in relationships, these types of people are insensitive to the pain and suffering of others, and sometimes the pain of others becomes a source of joy and pleasant feelings for them. They consider it permissible to use various tactics to achieve their goals.
Jealousy, if negative, burns a person from within like fire burns wood to ashes. Such people, instead of being inspired by the successes of others and overcoming their own shortcomings, start envying them, as a result of which they continue to burn in the fire of envy.
Not tolerating attempts at correction:
If someone tries to explain to a person suffering from such a delusion, instead of understanding their own shortcomings, they consider that person to be wrong and consider their pointing it out as criticism for criticism’s sake.
It has been observed that people with narcissism suffer from deep psychological problems, some of the causes of which include childhood neglect and lack of self-esteem.
How to deal with such people?
It is very difficult for a common man to explain such people, because they are not ready to admit their mistakes. If such people are in your relationship, it is better to keep some distance from them and ignore their behavior as much as possible.
If you or someone you know is suffering from such delusions and it is causing problems not only in their life but also in the lives of others, please do not hesitate to consult a good psychologist or counselor.
