In the movies and television, there are so many movies and series, which tell the stories, where there are main narcissistic characters, for example, Gaston, in Beauty in the Beast, Frank Underwood in House of Cards, Mitch Hiller in Enough and Stephen DeMarco in Tell Me Lies. These fictional character roles represent an individual is extremely cunning and dominating, has no emotions or very little, and who portrays a different facet of him publicly while acting entirely opposite at home. As for the rest of you, who have never had a chance to meet a patient directly diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), those qualities listed above might appear as if they were being largely overstated – seeing how many individuals using this word aimlessly or simply believe a narcissist is just someone too full of themselves or overly self-assured. However, experts stress that those traits mentioned have not been saturated, overemphasized, or overglorified by Hollywood. However, in the real world, they are a few of the traits that can present a person with NPD, respectively.

They try to sabotage or exclude people they envy. One of the most telling behaviors that gives a narcissistic person away is their malicious envy and the actions they will take to try to sabotage someone who is surpassing them in some way. In relationships, this may look like your narcissistic partner deliberately starting arguments with you before a big interview or exam because they’re jealous of your career, or a family member excluding you from family events because they have hidden resentment toward you for being more popular than them. Or you may notice more subtle microexpressions of anger when you share good news with them, and a tendency to center themselves after issuing a half-hearted, strained congratulations followed by a silent treatment. This can also take place in the workplace and in friendships. For example, if you notice a seemingly sweet friend always giving compliments to her loyal cronies but suddenly turning sour whenever a more attractive and successful friend comes around, or a co-worker constantly gossiping about someone specific or trying to “hide” or minimize this person’s achievements in front of their superiors, trust your instincts. This is the same person who will become your worst enemy as soon as they see you succeeding or getting attention they feel entitled to. It’s one thing to be envious or jealous, but to act on it to hinder someone else is a deeply malicious and narcissistic act.
