Can you quickly spot an extremely narcissistic individual i. e. a grandiose, self-submerged, entitlement seeking, abusing, impulsive and exploiting individual, just by observing its body language and overall behavior? Both self-confessed and unidentified narcissists are all around us in a great number and you’re likely to face them at almost every location and in different situations throughout our lives. In fact, the modern age has provided a firm platform for the proliferation of narcissism like never before.
Like every other individual living with and around us in the same society, an extremely narcissistic individual too makes for living and struggles for survival. Then what’s so wrong with an extremely narcissistic individual after all? According to some psychology experts, narcissism is the final stop on the downward and steep slippery slope of psychopathy, social predation and criminality. Hence if you can't identify a narcissistic individual then you are most likely to face the consequences.
Everybody needs to sustain itself through adversities, challenges and dangers which is the fundamental necessity of every living and flourishing creature and not just human beings. Moreover, we all need to form different types of relations with different individuals for living, progressing and prospering. One needs to develop and posses self-love, self-respect and self-worth for the same. It gives us confidence, strength and social advantage.
Only thing is that a few of us are extremely self-loving and entitlement seeking individuals and this turns them into manipulators, controllers, serial liars, cheaters, scape-goaters and abusers. Principally, what every extremely narcissistic individual does most of time is attracting attention of others towards itself then ultimately impress, exploit, manipulate and control others for serving its own best interests.
Following are the body language clues given by extremely narcissistic individuals:
1) They come forth to shake their hands with you and say, “It was only me to encourage you from the beginning.”, “It has happened only because I accompany you.”, “It happened only because I greeted you in the beginning.”.
2) They try to attract attention of others and especially individuals of opposite gender in crowd by raising themselves above others or staying away from others.
3) Unlike open-ended and “away from body” gestures, they gesticulate in such way that their hands and palms face their own bodies most of the time.
4) They would raise their voice unnecessarily to make their presence felt without any hesitation about their contribution to the noise pollution.
5) They try to accentuate their presence and make maneuvers that saliently convey to others, “Hey, I’m here! Aren’t you looking at me?”.
6) They often express jealously in presence of those individuals who make them feel genuinely inferior, insecure and powerless.
7) They hardly show facial expressions that match with their words and actions while they appreciate, admire and praise others.
8) They invade your private and intimate space suddenly and remind that you didn’t treat them as per their own expectations.
9) They standout as magnets for the members of apposite genders and especially those with genuine low self-esteem.
10) They often express contempt in presence of those individuals whom they assume as inferior than themselves.
11) They look very charming, intelligent, smart, updated and tidy by their overall appearance and clothing.
12) They put on glossy or gleaming cloths and carry costly accessories so that people should praise them.
An extremely narcissistic individual tries to overrate oneself and creates a scene or a drama of having a great level of self-esteem which the individual completely lacks in the first place. If they're dating or courting somebody especially with lower self-esteem then they would try to manipulate them to spill out the words of appreciation, recognition and admiration about themselves.
Unlike extreme psychopaths, extreme extremely narcissistic individuals wouldn't pose any physical harm to others due their higher sense of guilt and remorse. However, they mentally torment, abuse and gaslight others at a great extent, leaving their victims in psychological pain throughout their lives. Also, narcissistic parents can give birth to psychopathic children.
Following are the overall behavioral characteristics, patterns and clues of extremely narcissistic individuals:
1) They show arrogance, stiffness and haughty behavior. They even ignore the existence or presence of those who boldly object/criticize their negative aspects.
2) They are preoccupied with fantasies and dreams about unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty or an ideal love and thus they always try to pursue them.
3) They have an extravagant sense of self-importance. They try to exaggerate their qualities, skills and talents with expectations of recognition as superiors.
4) They lack the ability of recognizing and respecting feelings and needs of others. They form circles of underachievers around themselves and stand in their centers.
5) They exploit others to achieve or fulfill their own needs, goals and ambitions. They roam only with those who appreciate them or follow their instructions.
6) They have a very strong sense of entitlement i. e. unreasonable or extraordinary expectations for special treatment, care, attention and compliance.
7) They believe that they are “special” and unique hence can only be understood by or should associate only with other special individuals or institutions.
8) They are addicted to or involved in substance abuse. They may not be able to stay in a single (committed) relationship for a longer amount of time.
9) They have definite plans, strategies or agendas to stand out in the crowd without any considerable contributions to the community or the society.
10) They demand excessive and continuous admiration and appreciation. In fact, they seek every opportunity of getting admired and appreciated.
11) They look very charming and witty but they always try to make fun of the others. They greet as if they are doing great favor to the others.
12) Their relationships with others last as long as they satisfy their empty ego. They don't at all bother to disrespect others publicly.
13) They hardly make statements like “Didn’t I tell you that you could make it?” or “You had all necessary qualities and the potential!”.
14) They cannot control their own impulses or bad tempers. Also, they publicly cannot withstand any kind of criticism at all.
15) They often express extreme jealously towards the others but they claim that others are jealous of them on the contrary.
There are number of reasons that turn a tender, loving and easy going child into an extremely narcissistic or a noxic individual in the future who gives importance to itself and doesn't really care about others and their feeling and/or emotions. In fact, an extremely narcissistic individual is empty from inside that's why it creates a lot of noise outside.
Narcissistic individuals aren’t like psychopaths who have cruel intentions in their minds but actually they are victims of biological, genetic, psychological, environment and parenting factors that transform their fragile personalities in an ego-centrism, exactly like the prince (or princess) who falls in love with his (or her) own reflection in water and ultimately die by falling and drowning into it.
Could you believe that everybody, including you and me, possess certain level of narcissism or self-love? Actually, most of us are healthy narcissists but some individuals are beyond the normal or acceptable level of narcissism. However, the extreme narcissists are self-destructing individuals. They never can have a long-term, strong and deeper relationship with other individuals, including their own family members.
According to experts, there are five main types of narcissism i. e. overt, covert, communal, antagonistic and malignant narcissism. Actually, an extremely narcissistic individual isn’t a subject to punish but actually the individual needs a great amount of counselling and therapy to overcome the narcissistic traits.
When put on a scale of narcissism or conducted psychological assessment, every individual would find itself at different level of narcissism. If you really want to know then you can undergo a test by following this link and giving honest answers only.
By the way, there are some common or shared behavioral and psychological traits among Narcissists, Sociopaths and Psychopaths. Also, sociopaths are often called as angry psychopaths.

Self love or self value is narcissism? Self acceptance? Narcissists don't love themselves, they are self absorbed because of deep rooted insecurity. To people even more wounded I'd imagine that appears as self love...but its really not. Loving and accepting one's self is healthy and is a one of the greatest spiritual challenges people will undertake. To imply that goal is selfish is rather immature..false modesty is still false.
ReplyDeleteWhy to worry so much about that person? if he/she is self-loving, let them be, but we should not catch it like a contagious disease
