Chapter 1: Understanding Narcissism.

Definition of narcissism :

Narcissism is a personality trait characterized by a heightened sense of self-importance, a need for excessive admiration, a lack of empathy for others, and a tendency to exaggerate one's achievements and abilities. It is named after the Greek myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his reflection in a pool of water.

Traits of narcissistic individuals:

Individuals with narcissistic traits often believe they are superior to others and may exhibit arrogant or snobbish behavior. They may have a sense of entitlement, expecting special treatment or privileges without necessarily putting in any effort to earn them. They may also be preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, or beauty.
