What are the types of intoxication and what is it?
There are many types of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and narcissistic adaptations, some more common than others.
It is important to remember that NPD describes a pattern rather than an individual, so these are common patterns of narcissistic behavior and the people who use these patterns may be as different as the other two random individuals.
Many narcissists in all of these categories struggle with object stability, segregation, emotional control, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships.
However, their challenges in these areas are very different, depending on the type of narcissist, their nature, their level of self-awareness if they are in successful treatment and other aspects of their life.
Here are three common examples of NPD models and optimizations that I often see:
Exhibitionist Narcissist:
This type of narcissist usually wants to get an important feeling, to openly appreciate, to enjoy the attention they give and to own the room.
They often suffer from any kind of narcissistic injury, especially when people feel embarrassed or neglected.
When they believe they are narcissisticly hurt, they can shout, publicly harass someone, chase them away, humiliate them or devalue their value so that they can feel the other person as their own. To demonstrate the degree of self-injury.
Example: Robert
Robert works for a hedge fund in New York. He likes to be the center of praise, often dominates any meeting, tells long stories about appreciative aspects of his life during the conversation and never sees if the other person is interested or can get a word out.
He drives a Ferrari, wears expensive designer suits and always wants to be the best looking, richest, best dressed man. He likes to date very small model-type women who he brings with him to public events.
Robert believes his cars, clothes and youthful, beautiful success show others a positive reflection of his own desire, energy, skills and wealth.
Secret (or Closet) Narcissists:
Secret narcissists struggle with the same difficulties as exhibitionist narcissists, but often in a more subtle manner.
They seek praise and improve self-esteem, but in a less obvious, more secretive way.
They feel very special and important when they associate themselves with people, causes or things they consider to be admirable, so that they feel that their association with them increases their own importance.
They are also sensitive to criticism and when injured, they may use other forms of retaliation (other than shouting or completely lowering someone) such as criminal trips, constant complaining, or ignoring someone.
Must be adequately forgiving and respectful for their feelings, thoughts or concerns.
Example: Marry
Robert’s mother, Marry, talks about her successful hedge fund son, how he went to the best Ivy League schools and how privileged it is to be associated with such an influential and successful son.
Because she was the mother of such an influential person who deserved praise and because she felt she was a reflection of her good upbringing, successful family and good values, Marry felt she should not keep her focus on him.
Especially ho, but instead she admires and thinks with people and / or that she is as influential as her wonderful son Robert.
Malignant Narcissists:
Like hypocritical narcissists and secret narcissists, abusive narcissists also have problems with emotional control, object stability, and separation.
In addition, jealousy is often a major factor in the narcissistic traumas they experience and this can lead to a way of gaining pleasure in destroying the happiness or success of others and rebuilding their fragile self-esteem. Can. They may try to find ways to destroy the self-worth of others in areas that are important to others in order to feel certified and improve their self-image.
Example: Gill
Robert's father, Gill, is a deadly narcissist. He is a successful businessman, and sees the success of his son, Robert, as a direct threat to his own weak self-esteem.
He often underestimates Robert at family events, criticizing his business strategies, dress, weight, and doing what he thinks is reminiscent of Robert’s less than his father Gill. Instead of feeling as special and important as Robert’s parents and his wife Marry, he feels special and important when he is able to establish his dominance in areas that are important to him, such as intelligence, wealth and the desire for success.
Full control and power. The people around him. When his son Robert lost millions of dollars during the financial crisis, Gill was ecstatic and reassured himself that his son was not as smart, successful and intelligent as he was.
