The core definition of narcissism includes traits like selfishness, high control, exploitation, a False Self, a need for superior power, and low empathy. But as a person descends further down the spectrum, more disturbing patterns emerge. Narcissism can lead to evil, which is demonstrated by dehumanizing you and denying basic dignity. For you to thrive, insight and self-care is of utmost importance.

Again, thank you.
