What is a narcissist?

What characterizes a narcissist? I've encountered this term frequently, not because my friends or colleagues have applied it to me, but rather due to my older sister's frequent use of it. She appears to believe that I fit this description. To diagnose someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), five out of the nine criteria from the DSM-IV-TR are necessary. Some of the traits associated with NPD include a heightened sense of self-importance, preoccupation with fantasies of power, wealth, success, and love, a constant need for admiration, a belief in one's uniqueness, a lack of empathy, arrogance, entitlement, a preference for associating only with important or special individuals, and a tendency to exploit others for personal gain.

It's crucial to distinguish between narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissism refers to certain exhibited traits in a person, where they don't meet enough criteria to be categorized as having NPD.

Allow me to elaborate on the fact that most of us possess elements of personality disorders to some degree. For instance, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the most commonly discussed ones. Each of us experiences varying levels of OCD tendencies. Similarly, anxiety and periods of depression are universal; the key lies in the extent to which these disorders disrupt our daily functioning.

This principle applies to both narcissism and NPD. Celebrating our achievements occasionally and taking pride in reaching goals are healthy behaviors. There's no issue with that. Therefore, if someone labels you as a narcissist or suggests you have OCD, don't be overly concerned. More often than not, they might be projecting their own emotions onto you. Give them space to express themselves, and eventually, the genuine truth will emerge.

Examples and Anecdotes: Imagine a coworker who consistently seeks praise for their achievements and often downplays the accomplishments of others. While this behavior might seem narcissistic, it doesn't necessarily meet the criteria for NPD. On the other hand, someone with NPD might manipulate their colleagues into doing their work for them, exploiting their desire to please for personal gain.

Treatment and Coping Strategies: For those dealing with narcissism or NPD, seeking professional help from therapists or counselors is a crucial step. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and other therapeutic approaches can be effective in addressing the underlying issues and promoting healthier behaviors. Developing empathy, self-awareness, and coping strategies are integral parts of the recovery process. For friends and family, setting boundaries and encouraging open communication can help manage interactions with individuals exhibiting narcissistic traits. Remember that change takes time and dedication, but it's possible with the right support and commitment.

Moon kitty sass. 😎 . These ended up pretty chonky 😹 so they're not exactly rockable anymore. Couldn't get the weight to balance correctly and not have kitty topple over! . Swipe to see pumpkin kitty! 🤍🧡💛 I ended up making the little feet into candy corn. 😸 . . . . . . . #plattercats #kittysculptures #sculpeyart #sculpeycat #catsculptures #catsculpturesofinstagram #kawaiicat #kawaiicatshop #polymercat #polymerclaycat #polymerclayart #claycats #claycat #fortworthartist #dallasartist #shoplocalfortworth (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFc4h2qlcvn/?igshid=1u13lw48t9nhr

This kitty looks like trouble. 😈 . So I realize that the majority of what I usually post is digital art, but lately I've been burnt out on it (which is how these clay kitties came to be). . I have had CRAZY art ADD lately and find myself hopping mediums a lot. If you guys didn't know, my degree is actually in art and all my jobs since college have been in graphic design and art direction. . Truth be told, I've never really cared for corporate life and this space has been my zen zone to create whatever cute pops into my head. I'm currently zenned out on clay kitties. 😸 . Bear with me if you hate the clay stuff! I'm sure in a few months I'll find a new artsy kitty thing to make and share with y'all. 🤗 . . . . . . . . . #plattercats #kittysculptures #sculpeyart #sculpeycat #catsculptures #catsculpturesofinstagram #kawaiicat #kawaiicatshop #polymercat #polymerclaycat #polymerclayart #claycats #claycat #kittyguardian #fortworthartist #dallasartist #shoplocalfortworth #shoplocal (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVV8q1F9OM/?igshid=1umf2uq0xz62o

I will call them kitty guardians and they will guard! 😹 This one is a plant guardian, it is keeping its plant friend company. 💕 . If you guys have been following along in my stories, you've probably seen me working on these little kitty sculptures. 😻 I don't really know why I haven't made these before? I buy little kitties like this constantly and they live all over my studio! . I'm trying to build up a small army before I release them into the shop. 😹 I also need to figure out how to pack them to ship, but I'll continue to update everyone here with kitty guardians! . I am working on the rocking moon kitties you guys voted on too! It was the winning vote! 🥳 . . . . . . . . . . . #plattercats #kittysculptures #sculpeyart #sculpeycat #catsculptures #catsculpturesofinstagram #kawaiicat #kawaiicatshop #polymercat #polymerclaycat #polymerclayart #claycats #claycat #kittyguardian #fortworthartist #dallasartist #shoplocalfortworth #shoplocal (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFQgVrMljfk/?igshid=1xl1geaqahys3
