I have been studying personality disorders. I'm just trying to understand what is at work in my fellow man. Narcissistic personality disorder is extremely interesting. In my reading I came across a list of things that sufferers of this disorder absolutely hate. See if these two things have any relevance to any one you know. I added the highlights just to help you identify the narcissists that may be in your life. 6 – Losing At Anything Have you ever observed young children playing a board game? If so, you probably witnessed plenty of cheating behaviors and dramatic reactions to losing. It’s acceptable when the players are three years old, but what happens when you’re referring to full-fledged adults? Narcissists can resemble toddlers, in that they tend to be extremely sore losers. They struggle to accept losing, and they also tend to lash out when it happens. A few scenarios may occur: They repeatedly proclaim the person in charge (boss/referee) was incompetent. They attempt to defame or humiliate the winner They pretend they didn’t care about winning They insist that they “let the other person” take the spotlight They refuse to accept that they lost and awkwardly act as if they’re the actual winner 7 – Public Humiliation Because they are sore losers, narcissists can’t handle real or perceived public humiliation. They just can’t tolerate the threat of failure. To them, public humiliation is the ultimate form of defeat. We all know that narcissists have incredibly fragile egos. When they believe someone is making fun of them or if they’re not the perceived expert or authority in a public setting, it jolts their existence. As a result, they’ll do anything to protect their fragile ego. Some common responses include: Making violent or emotionally-charged threats Attempting to one-up the audience by turning on them Screaming or yelling Walking away with obvious anger Laughing it off in public only to lash out later on loved ones later Making up lies about anyone who is a real expert Now, did anyone you know come to mind as you read this? I did not write it. It just sounded so familiar, and I think explains a lot.
