HOW TO RECOGNISE A NARCISSIST: 4 TYPES
When we think about narcissism, we often imagine an arrogant,
egocentric person. However, this are only a couple of symptoms of a narcissistic person.
The two most common types of narcissism are the cerebral and somatic types.
The cerebral narcissist is that type of individual who thinks they know everything.
Although effectively more intelligent than the average person when it comes to various topics,
cerebral narcissists see their knowledge as something that makes them superior to others.
They love telling stories, both real and invented, which highlight their splendour.
Cerebral narcissists are quick to judge and highlight others’ flaws,
in particular those they consider inferior to themselves. They feed on the praise and admiration
they receive for their superior intellect, self-confidence and sense of initiative.
Somatic narcissists, on the other hand, are people who are completely in love with their own beauty
and aesthetics. These individuals are physically beautiful and do everything to stay that way.
Somatic narcissists are extremely aware of their aesthetic image,
feeding on the reactions of everyone around them and their own sexual ability.
Depending on their childhood and how they grew up, the dominant trait between the cerebral
and somatic will often determine which type of narcissistic personality they’ll have as adults.
And while there are more narcissistic subtypes,
the 4 we’ll see now are the most common and the chance of running into one is very high.
1. The Obvious Narcissist This type of narcissist is the most common.
Obvious narcissists are loud, are always right and must be in control. Just their presence alone is
hateful and oppressing. These people express their own opinion regardless of whether it’s wanted,
because they believe they know more than others and they should therefore be listened to.
According to this type of narcissist, everything has to be done in their way.
They have a big ego and aren’t scared of showing it.
In their own way they are bullies and don’t feel remorse for their verbal and physical statements.
They love diminishing others and resort to threats if they see fit.
Their most dangerous tactic, however, is the way they manipulate their words
to the point of leading their victims to doubt their value as a human being.
2. The Sneaky Narcissist Sneaky narcissists are types of narcissists which
show an image of kindness, integrity and altruism, when in reality they are all but sincere.
Indeed, they are often extremely manipulative and cruel, but only with people close to them.
These types of narcissists often hold a position of authority like a manager,
a teacher, a politician or anyone with any type of power. They are parasites and don’t
have qualms about getting what they want, whether it be power, money, success or fame.
3. The Seducer Narcissist
This type of narcissist doesn’t only limit themselves to a sexual relationship.
Seducer narcissists are individuals who manipulate their victim to feel good about themselves.
They inundate their victims with admiration, making them feel important.
The motivation for all this, however, is that they want their victims to reciprocate,
by doing the same thing and feeding their ego. In most cases, a seductive narcissist will have more
than one victim at a time. A common tactic for them is the hot and cold method in which they
inundate their victims with affection and praise for a short time and then retreat, then returning
and doing it again. This reinforces their partner’s toxic attachment to them.
4. The Vindictive Narcissist The most dangerous of all and the
fourth type is the vindictive narcissist. This type of narcissist has the same characteristics
as the sneaky narcissist. However, the main difference is that the vindictive narcissist
will do everything to destroy their victim. This type of person creates absolutely unnecessary
conflict with relatives and friends. They feed off negativity and chaos
which brings them and lets them enjoy the fall of whoever they consider their enemy.
If necessary, they won’t hesitate to slander someone to damage their professional reputation.
The only justice they know is what they invented themselves.
In short, they will try to turn everyone against their victims.
Remember, narcissistic people aren’t the types of people you want to be around. They are toxic and
dangerous. In a relationship, they’re emotionally violent and resort to psychological torture.
If you ever meet one, keep your distance as much as you can.
We have all met more or less narcissistic people in our lives.
