Recognizing narcissistic behavior in someone you know can be difficult, especially when you care about that person. In this video we explore twenty common signs that someone in your life may have narcissistic tendencies and regularly puts their own needs above everyone else’s. These include an exaggerated sense of self-importance, constant need for praise and validation, difficulty understanding how others feel, and a strong sense of entitlement that leads them to expect special treatment. People with narcissistic traits may also manipulate situations to get attention, blame others when things go wrong, and struggle with criticism or accountability. They might also ignore facts that do not fit their narrative, react with anger when confronted, and consistently center conversations around themselves. Learning these signs can help you make sense of confusing or hurtful interactions and protect your emotional boundaries. Whether in a friendship, family relationship, or workplace, these behaviors can be draining and are worth understanding for your own wellbeing.
