Male or female, narcissists are complex individuals that share certain characteristics.
- Fueled by fantasies of success, power and their own brilliance, they develop a sense of superiority.
- Yet--insecurity drives their need for validation--admirers to provide narcissistic supply.
- Fears of inadequacy fuel a need for control.
- Lack of accountability requires skills to find fault in another and shift blame.
- Lack of empathy creates their inability to connect on an intimate level.
- They show favoritism toward family and friends that make them look good.
- They react to shows of emotion defensively. Anger is the emotion they can feel.
