While it's easy to go down a rabbit hole on the concept of narcissism, it's good to be empowered and educated and protect yourself from narcissistic behaviors in certain others. Please keep in mind that having a certain level of narcissistic traits can be healthy in a balance. However, narcissism exists on a spectrum with some people having higher narcissistic traits, and even some who have full blown NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is in the DSM). We will go over the common categories of narcissists both in clinical and common spaces. We'll discuss how to spot each one, what their behaviors are, how they interact with others, and how you can protect yourself from these different types.
Use these resources, but when you break down the lists, use the second Chat GPT to give you a framework. The first ChatGPT can give you more detail and context. Read these three articles and use them as sources as well.
