Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance and a deep need for admiration. Individuals with NPD often believe they are superior to others and may lack empathy, making it difficult for them to recognize or care about the feelings of those around them. This can lead to strained relationships and challenges in social situations. People with narcissistic traits may also exhibit behaviors such as arrogance, entitlement, and a tendency to exploit others for personal gain. While they may appear confident, their self-esteem is often fragile, and they may react negatively to criticism or perceived slights. Treatment options, such as therapy, can help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their interpersonal relationships.
