NPD Subtypes: Grandiose / Overt

Also called oblivious, classic, and agentic

Grandiose narcissism is what most people associate with the narcissistic personality, and is what the NPD diagnostic criteria is heavily based on.

Those with grandiose narcissism have the highest severity of poor interpersonal and psychosocial functioning. They have a higher comorbidity rate with other psychiatric disorders (including other personality disorders and substance abuse), and may present with more anger and hostility.

They are more extroverted and described as bold and charming. They might come across as:

Outgoing

Arrogant

Entitled

Overbearing

Having an exaggerated self-image

Needing to be praised and admired

Exploitative

Competitive

Lacking empathy

They tend to overestimate their own abilities and intelligence.

yap yap hi :3 we're a silly npd cat.

and was wondering if finishing the sub types for npd are going to be continued? understandable if not!

hi nonny!!

I wanna say probably, when I originally made that series I had a lot of free time and I really don't anymore, but I've been wanting to continue that series as well as my explaining/elaborating on diagnostic criteria series. it doesn't help that I lost my original research lol
