Narcissists typically feel very confident in their abilities and view themselves as superior to others. They may have a strong belief that they are deserving of all the good things that happen to them and believe that they are entitled to special treatment no matter who else is involved.

This can make them seem arrogant and insensitive, particularly if their views clash with those of others.

Narcissists believe they deserve admiration without regard for others and a sense of entitlement in all aspects of life … Narcissism means that narcissistic individuals lack empathy and insight: They understand little about other human beings’ emotions, desires, intentions, thinking processes, and behavior patterns

Some of the common traits are here.

1. Narcissists feel superior and entitled to their own needs and wants.

2. They perceive themselves as always correct, even if this is not the case.

3. They are often unable to empathize with others or see things from their perspective, making them difficult to relate to or trust.

4. They often lack self-awareness, which allows them to be insincere and cruel in their interactions with others.
