need to be admired and an inflated sense of self-worth. It is not
uncommon for these individuals to have a huge ego, and they

care little for anyone else but themselves. This lack of empathy
for others, arrogance, inflated self-esteem, sense of entitlement
which leads them to believe that they deserve to have special
privileges and attention can lead towards feelings of jealousy or
envy when their needs are not being met. This high sense of

entitlement also leads them to believe that they have a right to
punish or exact revenge on anyone whom they perceive as not
giving them the attention, due respect or admiration that they

believe they deserve. Psychologically, narcissism is not capable
of genuine self-love, since those who struggle with narcissism
are more in love with the grandiose and idealized, unrealistic
image of themselves that they have built up in their minds. These
delusions of grandeur that they harbor within them are exactly

what leads to such dysfunctional behavior, and why these
individuals are more often than not described as demanding,
selfish, patronizing and manipulative. Their friendships, family

life, romantic relationships, and even professional relationships
are not safe from their narcissistic tendencies, and what makes it
harder is that those with this personality disorder are reluctant to
change, preferring instead to expect others to conform to their
needs.
