Examples of Narcissistic Behavior
6. Lack of Shame
Another strong characteristic of those who are afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder is a lack of shame or guilt. Most people are able to have healthy social interactions by taking the feelings and emotional responses of other people into consideration while going about daily tasks. For someone with narcissism, this empathy is never fully realized or developed. A narcissist is therefore likely to take advantage of other people in order to get what he or she wants out of a situation, usually with no thought about the other person’s feelings or consequences of the actions being taken.
In a vast majority of cases, the person with narcissistic personality disorder is not actively trying to take advantage of another person. Usually, the narcissist believes that his or her own sense of superiority makes it acceptable to take advantage of others. Still, there are many people with this disorder who purposely take advantage of other people for their own gain without a second thought or any remorse.
