Are you feeling confused or unsettled about your relationship? It’s not uncommon to question the health and balance of your partnership, especially when certain behaviors begin to emerge that don’t sit right with you. At Pacific Beach Health, we understand the complexity of relationships and the impact they have on your mental health.
Recognizing Narcissistic Traits
Narcissism is a term often thrown around lightly, but it’s a genuine concern when it comes to interpersonal relationships. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is characterized by a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior featuring exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. But how do you distinguish between a truly narcissistic partner and someone who’s just occasionally self-absorbed? This is where we can help.
