What Is a Narcissist?
10. Low Self-Esteem
When you meet somebody that is boastful and acts in a superior manner, you might think that they think very highly of themselves. This is not always the case, though. Indeed, in many cases, a low self-esteem can be the underlying cause of narcissistic behavior.

With a low self-esteem, narcissistic people often feel the need for other peoples’ compliments for a lift. Their actions are born out of insecurity and they will often try to pick on other people to push them down, picking themselves up in the process. A person that does have a balanced self-esteem is less likely to feel the need to attack other people to make themselves feel better.
