Dr. Leno says that a narcissist will focus on their needs only because they have a hard time seeing anything outside of themselves as truly relevant.“Of course, they care about loved ones, but they naturally prioritize their own thoughts and feelings,” she says. “This denotes narcissism because narcissists have low empathy and a high sense of self.” Related: 35 Phrases To Disarm a Narcissist and Why They Do the Trick, According to Therapists
2. They subtly hint at others’ flaws
Since narcissists want to show you who's the boss of your thoughts and feelings, “they can get in your head and they can control you,” as Dr. Leno states. “Because narcissists often appear to have it all together, it is easy for them to gain compliance and trigger self-doubt, in the beginning at least,” she adds.

Does this person typically exhibit coldness or indifference towards others’ concerns? Then you might be dealing with a narcissist. “If it does not involve them, it is not worth their mental investment,” Dr. Leno says. “They might say something sympathetic, but it has an unsympathetic undertone. This is largely because narcissists lack empathy.”Related: 8 Things a Narcissist Absolutely Hates, According to a Psychologist

How To Work Through a Narcissistic Relationship
If you’ve determined that you’re witnessing these repetitive behaviors in someone you care about, they may indeed have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Or they might be extremely narcissistic for one reason or another. Positive change can take place in these relationships, but according to Dr. Leno, “they must want to change.”“They will only want to change if their actions disrupt their life,” she notes. “Of course, they can self-help by incorporating tools like thought stopping and replacing the problem behavior with a more positive one. Working with a therapist, something like a coach, can be effective, since it is difficult to break habits overnight.” Dr. Leno suggests, “Discuss how it affects you and your relationship with them. If it becomes too stressful, give yourself permission to take a break from the relationship.” Up Next:
