A narcissist is someone who has an inflated sense of self-importance and a need for admiration, who may also lack empathy for others. How do you know if you're married to a narcissist? Below are some common signs to help you spot narcissistic behavior.
1) Your partner has a sense of self-importance and superiority. They may exaggerate or lie about their achievements and talents, expecting praise and to be recognized as superior.
2) Your partner lacks empathy. Narcissists may be unwilling or unable to understand the needs, feelings, or desires of others. This can make it difficult for them to take responsibility for their actions.
3) Your partner's hunger for success and power is often insatiable to them. They often fantasize about work-related accomplishments and being intellectually brilliant.
4) Your partner requires excessive admiration and recognition. A narcissist seeks attention not only from their partner but from others as well. They may even devalue you if you don't give them the admiration they are looking for.
5) Your partner has difficulty handling criticism. Narcissists may become defensive or aggressive when faced with feedback.
6) Your partner has a sense of entitlement and believe they deserve special treatment. Narcissists have unreasonably high expectations for how they should be treated.
7) Your partner displays arrogant behaviors and attitudes.
