Narcissism, a mental illness, is also a personality disorder. The same as the daily 'narcissism' has different definitions in psychology. Narcissism refers to an individual taking his body image as a sexual object. His sexual orientation is sexual and he himself, and he has a strong sexual desire for his image. Usually, you use your own mirror, photo or imagined self, or even future or idealized self as the object of sexual desire.
Non-adaptive narcissism is a personality trait with extreme arrogance as its core, and is related to individual psychological and social maladaptation. People with non-adaptive narcissism usually show negative narcissistic characteristics such as exploitative, privileged, vanity, and superiority, and are prone to negative emotions such as hostility, jealousy, and anger. Non-adaptive narcissism is opposite to adaptive narcissism, a personality trait with confidence as the core trait, which is related to the individual's good psychological and social adaptation. People with adaptive narcissism usually show positive narcissistic traits such as leadership, authority, self-satisfaction, self-expression, and are able to maintain positive emotions and high levels of self-esteem.
Non-adaptive narcissism has many dangers, such as:
- People with non-adaptive narcissism are susceptible to narcissism, that is, psychological trauma caused by the gap between excessive expectations of their abilities, appearance, status, etc. and reality. This narcissistic injury can cause their vitality to decline, emotional instability, and even rage and violence.
- People with non-adaptive narcissism are also prone to harm others, such as exploitation, deception, insults, jealousy, etc. These behaviors can damage their relationships and make it difficult for them to establish true intimacy and trust.
- People with non-adaptive narcissism are also prone to problematic behaviors, such as crime, aggressiveness, indifference, etc. These problematic behaviors will have legal, social and moral consequences on them, affecting their normal life and development.
Therefore, non-adaptive narcissism is a personality trait that is not conducive to individuals and society, and requires timely seeking professional psychological help and treatment.
