Let's have a look on this rare psychological disorder

Posted by on

In our daily life we met so many people with variety of psychological disorder. Narcissistic personality disorder is one of them.  It is commonly used as NPD. Some of us didn't hear this word before. But unknowingly we have interacted with this disease directly or indirectly. 

It is often considered as manipulative, selfish, patronizing and demanding. This way of thinking of the narcissist's life is like from work and friendship to family and love relationships. In psychological terms, narcissism doesn’t mean self-love, at least not of a genuine sort. It’s more accurate to say that people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are in love with an idealized, grandiose image of themselves. And they’re in love with this inflated self-image precisely because it allows them to avoid deep feelings of insecurity. But propping up their delusions of grandeur takes a lot of work, and that’s where the dysfunctional attitudes and behaviors come in.

People with narcissistic personality disorder may be generally unhappy and disappointed when they're not given the special favors or admiration they believe they deserve. They may find their relationships unfulfilling, and others may not enjoy being around them.

After that they can share their feelings to others and can be cured as well.
