5 Ways to Overcome Narcissistic Personality Disorder

JAKARTA – Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is one of the types of personality disorders most commonly experienced by Indonesian people.

Quoted from the Journal of Student Research Guidance and Counseling, NPD is a personality disorder that always imagines someone is better than others and deserves to be praised or respected. NPD disorders usually will not see from the perspective or opinion of others, and consider themselves the most correct in a particular group.

People with NPD are very typical with high self-confidence, but are very sensitive to criticism or input. Therefore, someone who has NPD is certain to have no empathy for others.

It should be noted that someone who suffers from NPD will not feel that they are experiencing the disorder. The condition is similar to self-confidence, but self-confidence tends to lead to positive things that are formed from a person’s qualities and achievements.
