Dark Triad Narcissistic Personality

4 Types of Narcissism and its Pattern of Abuse

Dante025 mins

Are you the one who is constantly questioning your self worth, became mentally abused, felt unloved in a relationship, or got blamed for nothing? There are high chances of constant exposure to a narcissistic person with you. Here is why   Among people around us who follow their own life developing their personalities, there are people with personalities who are intentionally bound to harm others and their lives. Possessing this personality is known as a Dark Triad personality. The most common dark triad personality is narcissism and people who are diagnosed by it, follow a certain dark triad narcissistic personality pattern to hurt others. According to google trends, the term “narcissist” has been widely searched across the world for the past 10 years. This indicates the growth of narcissism in society. Types of Dark Triads   There are three types of disordered personalities that fall under the dark triad category. They are Narcissism Machiavellian Psychopathy A person who has a psychopathy disorder cannot control their emotions in hurting others. Meanwhile, Narcissism and Machiavellian diagnosed people are consciously hurt and manipulate others with intention. And that is why it is difficult to identify them in society.    People often misunderstand these disorders with stress, anxiety, and depression in lack of knowledge about these traits. Specifically, narcissistic traits are proliferating within people nowadays. So, awareness must be created about this dark triad narcissistic personality and its patterns    What does narcissism mean?   Narcissism is a term mentioning people who have similar traits from a mental disorder named narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). A person with a narcissistic personality disorder possesses high self-esteem, lack of empathy, and a grandiose sense of entitlement who seek constant validation and respect by controlling others.   Narcissists have traits of both Machiavellian and Psychopathy that include manipulation, self pride, and intention to hurt others. However, they are not psychopaths who cannot control their emotions. Narcissistic people can control their emotions and also feel guilt and shame while being malignant.   How to diagnose a narcissist person?   In 1988, Robert Raskin and Howard Terry had modulated an evaluation with sets of questions based on the statistical manual of mental disorders named Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI -40). The suspect who scores above 21-40 claimed to have more narcissistic traits such as high entitlement, exploitativeness, and more intentional binding characteristics.   Contrarily, a person with a low-end score of 3-10 NPI had been found to have very low self-esteem with high depression and anxiety. And the people who scored from 11-17 were considered to have a moderate personality.   What are the 4 main types of Narcissism?   Psychologists had analyzed the personality of narcissists and found that there are some differences in their traits. According to that, they classified several types of narcissists. The major 4 types of narcissistic personality almost comprise other variants. They are Grandiose Narcissist: High sense of entitlement and control Malignant Narcissist: Violent and deranged in nature Covert Narcissist: Hideous and covertly hurtful Communal Narcissist: Deceitful and act trustworthy Grandiose Narcissist: “High sense of entitlement and control ”   Grandiose Narcissists reportedly have high self esteem combined with a high desire for entitlement and control. People with this personality are always self centered and seek to be a leader of a group. A narcissist with grandiose traits often transpires to be a leader, politician, or primary person in a family.   The desire for power to control others life is itself that drives them to attain such places. They are always appreciated for their courage, boldness, and leadership skills. In lack of constant respect and admiration, they exploit others and attain control.   According to scholars, research says that grandiose narcissists can easily create a large organization or company as they are good risk-takers. However, they tend to fail at authorization by objectifying the employees or engaging in malicious activities for the business.   Do give a read: How do Narcissists achieve success quicker but not long-lasting?   Malignant Narcissist: “Violent and deranged in nature”   Malignant narcissists are found to carry more dark triads than other narcissistic variations. They are relevant to psychopathy at times, although their acts are intentionally bound. Malignant narcissists are extremely harmful with bloated self pride. They possess no morals in their act and manipulate situations to their needs.   Those who were diagnosed with malignant narcissism were fragile to criticism and cannot take the blame. Instead, their high self-esteem behavior tends to blame others for their inability to regulate themselves. Also, these people fantasize about power, success, and intellect over others. When their fantasy looks to be sliding down, they act by whatever means to achieve it.   To do that, they show no empathy and intentionally hurt others to gain superiority. Malignant narcissists have high insecurity and will find ways to hide them as they are afraid of getting exposed.   Covert Narcissism: “Hideous and covertly hurtful”   Covert narcissism also known as vulnerable narcissism does not have more self importance like other narcissistic traits. However, covert narcissists lack self confidence, self worth and seek ceaseless validation from their partners. Covert narcissists are tough to diagnose as they manipulate the partner or victim to get validation by portraying themselves as a weak persona.   In lack of validation, the narcissists intend to covertly abuse and blame shift their partners for their miserable lives. This is why covert narcissists are poor at having healthy relationships. In seek of attention and assurance, they look out for other people than their partners. As a result, covert narcissists lie, cheat and abuse their partners.  Communal Narcissists: “Deceitful and act trustworthy”   Communal narcissists use communal ways such as being mutual, cooperative, and trustworthy to gain an advantage over others. As grandiose narcissists, they expect high entitlement but in the form of providing face accompanying and support. Communal narcissists anticipate being an organizer or the reason to organize things in a group.   Communal narcissists boast themselves as “I’m a good…

21 New Year Resolutions that make you a better person in 2022

Dante021 mins

A New year’s resolution is the goals, dreams, habits, and relationships that you fix at the beginning of the year to achieve by the end of the year. It can be either one or more resolutions, yet it will always be the one to make yourself better than the previous year. So, why not stick to it sincerely?   People always look for creative and unique new year resolutions to try on every year. However, they mostly end up having a fitness goal and fail in it. Wasn’t that funny? You want yourself to be better but couldn’t achieve it. This is because changes cannot happen quickly, it takes time and patience.   Firstly, you must understand that you have a year. Despite that, if you push yourself hard on your first day, you are going to lose interest quicker. You must start anything from a bare minimum, practice daily, improve constantly and reach your target. Even if you did not achieve to the fullest, the result of your new year resolution’s intention will satisfy you. The best thing about these new year resolutions is that they make you change in a year for good. It may be your appearance, physical health, mental health, achievements, etc. Changes are always good if the intentions are good. Thus, achieving these changes directly changes your personality for good too. So, here are some unique and common new year resolutions that will make you into a better person for next year. Read it and comment on what your new year’s resolutions are for this year. 1. Stop Regretting If you fail at something before and you wish you had done that differently, then you will regret that situation. Regretting catches your soul at that instance and does not allow you to grow further. So, instead of regretting such situations, try to understand what you have learned from them. Try to avoid those mistakes again and move on to face the future ahead.   2. Show Empathy Empathy is the ability to care for others by understanding their emotions. Any random act of kindness to someone, dogs, or anything will develop your empathy. Start using comforting words, help people economically, buy food or anything that shows your care for others this year. 3. Avoid Dramas To have mental stability this year, do not create a drama to get validation or kindly avoid intaking the dramas of others. Dramas make you overreact and overthink situations. If you ingest others’ drama, you will start comparing your situations and their consequences with theirs. Thus, your mental stability will break. 4. Do not Procrastinate Procrastinating work shouldn’t be the one trait for you this year. Yes, it is a personality trait. According to research done by the Institute of Research and Journals, procrastinating things is a sign of lacking conscientiousness. Since, no one procrastinates things actively, i.e., shifting things to do better things, it always ends up slowing you down. When procrastination becomes a habit, your life will lag behind. 5. No more Gossips Gossips can be truly hurtful. For people who ask, how can gossip be harmful? Gossips contain either a fact or a fake about a situation that triggers people. If the information came to be false, the victim may suffer the greatest. The victim may be you or others whose information is passed out through gossip. Once someone is affected by gossips, both their reputation and trust in others might get demolished So, if you find any information is misleading, choose not to forward others. 6. Socialize more People have adapted themselves into an introvert after the past pandemic times. As the situation changes, people are struggling to become extroverts. Studies show that introverts are depressed and are less happy. Meanwhile, extroverts are much joyful in their life. To socialize, try to feel less awkward talking to others, try to present your point of view in a conversation, and mix decent humor in it. Socializing helps to understand people’s thoughts and emotions. If you are depressed and stressing over something, socializing with people you trust and venting to them can greatly help to reduce your stress 7. Apologize for your mistakes From this year onwards, try to apologize for every mistake you make that hurts others. Do not try to hide those mistakes by ignoring or lying about them. It will ruin your righteous personality as you will start to ask for validation from others for reasoning your mistakes. Instead, accept your mistakes and say sorry, whoever it may be. Doing this will develop trust and mostly would not ruin a friendship. 8. Stopping pleading to Others In any case, if you are being accused of a mistake you have never done, do not apologize for it. Even if the accuser is the person, you love the most, apologizing for nothing degrades your self-confidence and Self-love. Also, never please anyone for nothing. If a person makes you plead, they don’t love you. Pleading others will pave out the opportunity for people to take control over you. 9. Focusing on Goals instead of persons. People who are obsessed with gaining friends and relationships tend to move slower in their goal pursuit. So, focus on your dream or career more. Gather people who also support your dreams and have a goal for themselves. In this way, you can have both growth and people at the same time along with them. 10. Acknowledging yourself This is a crucial resolution that everyone must take in this new year. If you are a hardworking person, a quick acknowledgment from anybody will always motivate you. But very few acknowledge others’ hard work. This might hurt us, minimize our willpower, and confidence to strive more but keep in mind that you work hard for your life. The first person who acknowledges you must be yourself. It just does not end with hard work alone, constantly keep acknowledging yourself when you help others, give kind words, achieve a little goal, or for any small thing…

Also, these kids proved to have lesser stage fear.  How Personality development assists the future of the kids? Having a developed personality not alone helps your kid’s education, but also sets the pillar of the child’s life. People attract or hold back at people by judging their personalities. Thus, the lessons which are imprinted in the personality of children will always be supportive.  Your kid might experience all these circumstances in the lifetime, ●       Relationships ●       Jobs ●       Dreams ●       Travel ●       Parenting, etc. To have a thriving life in all these phases, an upright personality development must have been introduced at a young age. Achieving dreams and career Firstly, the induced self-motivation and an optimistic character would always shoulder your kid when he/she wants a dream job or to achieve dreams. Then, the enriched creativity through personality development helps the way to achieve the goals.  Also, it ensures the personal growth of the kid during the life phases.

Dante015 mins

An existential crisis can be defined as a dreadful feeling of one’s questioning themselves about the reason for their existence in this world. However, the existential crisis definition is a combination of many factors that are mentioned in this article.   This anguished feeling may be caused due to psychological trauma, separation, divorce, major loss, the death of a loved one, a life-threatening experience, psychoactive drug use, etc. You could have heard about this term from movies & memes as a joke and might not contemplate about that. However, it should be given attention to make people aware of this.     You can witness people say that “I’m depressed and caught in existential crisis after watching this movie/series” with a smirk on their faces as they are being proud of it.

They might have suffered and processed through it. Some people grasp the term existential crisis without a slight knowledge or experience of how it would feel like.  Certain people expose themselves as someone who is experiencing an existential crisis for trivial reasons. On contrary, it’s a bit serious issue that we should talk about, share, and bring awareness about it. One cannot state the existential crisis definition without considering its effects and causes. Effects and Cause   This is a crucial thing that we should bring to notice. An existential crisis could affect one’s mental health and state of being a good person. The major factor that causes you to experience an Existential crisis is Loneliness Lack of acknowledgment Trauma/ abuse Losing Hope   Loneliness   Existential crisis mostly grows in you when you are alone. Being lonely makes you overthink things and cause you to feel down heartened as things in this world doesn’t go along as you thought it would be. This may look like the world does not want you.   Lack of Acknowledgement   An existential crisis could happen when people inconsiderately avoid acknowledging us and value our presence. This gives us a stressful vibe that can’t be held for long. You may look high at others and lower yourself. In other words, your self-esteem and self-confidence become low.

As from the existential crisis definition, you will start to question your presence in this world once you lose hope. Hope is an inevitable thing that keeps our spirit up to have a social link with others. Hope gives you confidence, it is what makes us expect kind, care, and empathetic behaviors from others. Once we lose hope, we start to give up on people around us as they never show any kind of gratitude, love & care to us for what we have done for them. Rise and Shine   Each and Everyone here faces an existential crisis at some point in their lifetime. Some get lost in that and some come out with absolute clarity of what they went through in the past and the way the future is going to be.

Once you attained self-love, you will be filled up with self-confidence and self-worth. You won’t seek attention, starve for acknowledgment or depend on others. Kindness   Secondly, Be kind to people. Yes, you have always been kind and ended up being here, but that doesn’t make being kind is wrong. This time, be kind to people only who are kind to others as well. That doesn’t mean you should be rude to toxic people.

Important factors that Indian women must know

Dante018 mins

Women of India are majorly affected on a daily basis. It may be due to superstitious cultural restriction, women inequality, safety, education or whatsoever. In the amidst, Indian women also lose their mental stability due to countless reasons. There are certain things people do not want Indian women to know. So, they could gain control over women round-the-clock. But, if you know these 8 things, you could save sanity and mental peace for yourself.   Have you ever got stressed so much?. Even if you find ways to reduce your stress, are you bombarded with stress again and again by any means?. It feels like anxiety and depression were always present in your life. If so, you might be experiencing any one of the following things that Indian women must know. This article discusses some information that may benefit every woman in the world. However, by the end of this article, you will have insights into why this article is focusing on Indian women. Now, let’s get into the list. 1. Prioritize yourself This may sound like a selfish act, but a woman who prioritizes herself is a sign of growth. She cares about herself, her mental stability and her lifestyle. Saying that, for women who prioritize others, it will be easy for them to shape your emotions for their wish. It can be your parents, friends, or partner, you cannot control the way you love to live. You will always have to make adjustments for them. Especially in India, emotional drama is a habitual thing in almost every home. Isn’t that right? If you are a self-loving person (not a selfish person), you can make decisions of your own and have your taste of freedom in life. It paves the way to achieve your dream, passion and dream life. Although it isn’t simple to overcome other people to make our choices in India, you will find that worth trying in the future. 2. Types of Boys Psychologically, it is said to have 5 types of boys in this world. However, we can categorize almost all boys into three different variations Alpha Beta Sigma Remember that this categorization is equivalent for women too. So, look at the details and ask yourself. Alpha- The Alpha males are basically extroverts, bold and are more appealing in nature. They belong everywhere and are fun to have around. Alpha males are mostly straightforward and good in relationships too. They are good leaders and basically loud at parties. Women mostly seek Alpha males for partners. Beta- Beta males are inclusively nice, affectionate and respectful. Beta males tend to be kind to everyone and more to their loved ones. You should differentiate between being needy and affectionate. Because Beta males are affectionate by nature. They do things in command and most preferable to be an employee as a career. Sigma- Sigma males are wiser than other male types. They look calm and kind enough. However, sigma males don’t speak in a group unless it makes sense and hates arguing. They have their own morals and way of living. Sigma males are good listeners and self-decision makers. Also, they can adapt to any of the circumstances and mostly prefer to have a job as a self-made business or in a leadership career. Indian women must know and analyze themselves and decide which types of males they prefer and have them around as a friend, colleagues, or partners. This would help you to have your growth thriving. 3. Narcissism The term “Narcissism” is the most crucial thing that Indian women should know about. Learning about this topic may widen your perspective of Indian families and societies. NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) is a personality disorder in which people are diagnosed to have high self-esteem and attention-seeking traits. It does not end there, these people are inadequate to have relationships. People with NPD are vastly lurking among people without getting diagnosed. We cannot find them easily, they may be your friend, partner or a family member. The psychology of narcissism – W. Keith Campbell The sad thing is, their high self-esteem will tend to hurt the people around them. They are good at manipulating, gaslighting, abusing (verbally or physically), ghosting, etc. In fact, Narcissists can extremely take over one’s emotions through manipulation and finally, the victims are left traumatized after having a relationship with them. Obviously, most Indian women have no idea about narcissism. To find and avoid interacting with them, one must learn a lot about this personality disorder. So, grasp the knowledge on NPD and avoid the consequences of suffering. 4. Trauma and Abuse Coming to the other pressing fact that Indian women must know. Apart from other countries, Indian people wouldn’t know the term trauma or abuse. This is because it has become a part of the majority of people’s lives. Indians misunderstood the abuse and trauma with fights and hardships. Trauma is a byproduct of continuous exposure to Abuse which a victim had to face. The trauma can affect your mental health as well as physical health. Victims who experienced trauma have a chance of diagnosing PTSD, OCD, BPD, Bipolar disorder, NPD, etc. Women may also face problems in their fertility and periods due to excessive trauma. These consequences can only be avoided by analyzing the situation and acting on it. No one has the right to abuse you for whatever the reasons could be. So, don’t let yourself suffer more as you don’t deserve it. 5. Dysfunctional Family In a household, if you experience constant quarrels, fights, abuse from your family members, then there are high chances for you to be in a dysfunctional family. Members from dysfunctional families believe that it is completely normal to have troubles at all times in a family. On the other hand, a family must provide a peaceful atmosphere. Generations from dysfunctional families would always be in a state of fear for troubles that are about to happen as always. They fear neglect and suffer from trauma from…

Having a Pet Know this reason before having a Pet Having a pet will be the basic suggestible thing for everyone to relieve stress. But know this reason before having a pet. Every human is different, you cannot find a person who is always there for you when you need. It is not possible; everyone is having a life of their own. Importantly, almost every human has a face to act, they show a different face whenever they needed us. On other hand, having a pet like a dog and cats are the ultimate stress relievers. Especially, dogs are wonderful beings that are said to relieve human stress drastically. They care for us, be available any time, and love us unconditionally. If you cannot afford a pet, be allergic to their furs or do not have enough space in your home, It’s okay. You can always find pets in your neighborhood, friends and family houses. If you cannot visit them, find a stray dog in your locality. Helping stray dogs are a great thing and anyone can do it. So, do not give a second thought and do interact with pets often.

Instead, they will start hurting you back. Obsessing ob these people will always cause depression and stress. So, get a step back and accept the way people are. Value your own time rather than stressing for them. People are in their senses while they are hurting you. So, if they wanted, they would have changed.

Once you start loving yourself and appreciate self-care, the stress will start to fade away. 2.
