What Is Narcissism?
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition in which a person feels superior to others and does not recognize other people's feelings. They often think of themselves as the victim, while at the same time gaslighting their partner. While narcissism can vary significantly from person to person, in the most extreme cases, a narcissist will be entitled and self-centered, requiring constant attention from others, and they will take advantage of people when it benefits them. They will often have unreasonable expectations about how they should be treated, and they can be very manipulative, controlling, and vindictive.
