In our selfie-obsessed and self-posting culture, we’ve all likely heard the word narcissism thrown around. Oftentimes, it’s used to describe someone who seems overly vain or full of themselves.

But is that really what narcissism means?

More accurately, narcissism is one of 10 personality disorders. It’s defined as an inflated sense of self. If you’ve had moments of narcissism, don’t worry. You’re not alone. Each person is narcissistic in some way. We all have moments — whether that’s believing you’re the best person for your job or the best looking person in the room. We can all recognize areas where we feel unique and special. But if the need to feel special and important becomes excessive, you might be living with symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder.

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is one of 10 personality disorders.

Narcissistic traits can affect how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. In turn, this can affect day-to-day living and how someone functions at work and in their relationships. People with narcissistic personality disorder often present with five or more specific symptoms, including:

grandiosity and self-importance

sense of specialness and uniqueness

fantasies of perfection and superiority

need for praise and attention

strong sense of entitlement

lack of empathy

jealousy, envy, and distrust

arrogance and scorn

a pattern of manipulating others

Not everyone will have the same symptoms. The condition can present in different ways from person to person.

So, if you have any of these symptoms, does this mean you’re narcissistic?

Not necessarily. Just having or exhibiting these behaviors doesn’t mean that you have narcissistic personality disorder. Our narcissistic personality test can help you find out if you might benefit from an evaluation by a mental health professional for narcissistic personality disorder.

How does a narcissistic female act?

While male narcissists might be more outwardly recognizable, female narcissists do exist. They tend to be more manipulative socially and can be just as vindictive as a male narcissist. They tend to play the victim, be overly jealous and competitive, superficial, and overbearing.

Set yourself up for success with a good night's sleep.*

Just as there aren't really innate differences between men's and women's personalities, there aren't exactly innate differences between male and female narcissists. But men and women are socialized differently and thus are more likely to develop specific personality traits, and these differences can be seen between male and female narcissists as well. "Although there are shared narcissistic traits between male and female narcissists, there are some differences in which their narcissism is exhibited," psychoanalyst Babita Spinelli, L.P., tells mbg. When male narcissists are angry, they tend to be aggressive and explosive (especially malignant narcissists). When female narcissists are angry, though, Spinelli says they'll punish their victims by withholding attention and affection. "Female narcissists utilize neglect or guilt as a form of control," she says, "whereas male narcissists are more likely to utilize power and status as a form of control." Another way both male and female narcissists gain control and affection is through codependent people. The psychoanalytic term for this is a "narcissistic supply." Male narcissists will generally get their supply from romantic partners, but a female narcissist's supply can come from her partner or her children. "The female narcissist sees her children as an extension of herself whereas the male narcissists do not lean in this direction," Spinelli says.
