Examples of Narcissistic Behavior
3. Warped Reality
Almost all people living with narcissistic personality disorder live in a form of warped reality. In this world, the narcissist is the “main character” of everything in life and all other people are simple background performers or extras. In this fantasy, self-deception is quite common and can lead to serious social issues and romantic problems. A person with this disorder may have difficulty meeting new people, as he or she is likely to put the person down and claim to be smarter, better looking, and more capable than the other.
Some experts believe that this warped reality is created by a narcissist because he or she cannot handle the reality of the situation. Namely, it is difficult for someone with narcissistic personality disorder to accept the feelings of emptiness he or she might feel within, causing the person to pretend that everything is working out in his or her favor.
