Some types of narcissism are more interpersonally harmful. Many people age out of narcissism over their lifetime. In contrast to narcissism, self-esteem often includes prosocial orientation.

Do you think the narcissists in your life have been happy people? It’s not a trick question for those who have lived behind closed doors with a narcissistic person (especially someone diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder). Their behaviors speak louder than the explosion of a nuclear bomb. Narcissists are unhappy people, and they have no one else to blame but themselves.

Relationships are a two-way street in all aspects. While partners do cover for each other every now and then, there still needs to be a certain level of balance. Over the past few decades, the institution of marriage in the United States has seen a significant decline of about 60% since the 1970s, reports CNBC. While there are various factors contributing to this trend, content creator Katie Hanlon—who goes by @thekatiehanlon on TikTok—has mentioned some less-discussed yet crucial factors that can often lead to relationship breakdowns.

Cheating, in any form, strikes at the heart of trust and security in a relationship. Whether it's a clandestine affair or a deep emotional bond with someone outside the relationship, the pain inflicted can be profound.

Display an unsettling cruelty that is unprovoked and sadistic. In numerous studies, people with a higher level of psychopathic traits display a reduced aversiveness to negative or fear-based images and stimuli. According to other research, they also show more activation in parts of the brain related to empathy for themselves when imagining themselves experiencing pain and show little activation in parts of the brain indicating empathy for others when envisioning other people enduring painful scenarios. Psychopathic people also display activation in parts of the brain related to reward when envisioning other people in pain, and psychologists suggest this may be an indication that they gain sadistic pleasure from inflicting pain on others. This can play out in different ways during the relationship. Sometimes a psychopathic partner can issue cruel, degrading insults that have nothing to do with the true nature of the person they’re in a relationship with. For example, they may tell their supermodel wife that she is gaining weight to instill insecurity and ensure she doesn’t look elsewhere for a better partner or tell their successful lawyer husband that they’re a “loser” to incentivize him to bring in more profits to leech off of. This acts as a way to maintain power and control over their partner while also belittling their partners for their own enjoyment.

When it comes to narcissistic parents, the question I get asked most often is, “Why would a narcissist become a parent in the first place?”. It’s a good question. The internet has painted the picture of a narcissist only as a grandiose and self-obsessed maniac. Surely that type of person would never willingly take on the ultimate compassion-based role of parent? Of course they would.
