The ability in which narcissists really stand out from the rest

Is it true that narcissists stand out above other people? A narcissist is that person who directs his love towards himself .In most cases he responds to some characteristics of a normal personality although, in some cases, it can also manifest itself as an extreme pathological form in some personality disorders, such as in the narcissistic personality disorder, in which the person overestimates his abilities and qualities and tends to have a too great need for admiration and affirmation.

Returning to question we asked ourselves at the beginning, narcissists stand out above the rest in some aspects, we are very sorry to make this statement, but it is true.Now we must find out some concrete and why.

Why do narcissists stand out?

Surely you've run into, at some point in your life, with those kind of people who seem to be above the whole world.Authentic conceited who, to our surprise, seemed to always prosper, things are always going well for them! We are very sorry to tell you that you may be right, since narcissists could have some advantage over your “non-narcissistic” brain, which would lead them to succeed in most cases, which would give us the reason that narcissists stand out.

The narcissist's stereotype does not necessarily have to be obsessed with looking at oneself in a mirror. Nor does the term refer exclusively to those who deflate when the world that They are aware that they are not as good as they appeared to be.In any case they are psychological traits within a narcissistic behavior.What is somewhat clearer is that, according to a study by Kostas Papageorgiou of Queen's University Belfast , Narcissistic people are likely to have a trait closely related to professional and academic success.Do you want to know what it is? Mental hardness!

Mental hardness, in a nutshell, is the ability of the mind to hold on to its sense of self and its self-esteem in the face of adversity .We all know someone who, in the face of an adversity like his work does not like, responds: "There is no problem, he will like the following because I am simply a genius and he will realize." It is important not confuse this behavior with a positive someone's behavior since the origin of both is very different.

It is quite easy to see a narcissist acting in accordance with this pattern of thought.Similarly, it is easy to appreciate that this type thinking can be beneficial to a person's career.

The study conducted by Dr.Pageorgiou was not focused on people with narcissistic personality disorder. The subjects of his study had scores normal, although somewhat elevated, of narcissism .But it was d During this study he realized that most of the people studied had a great mental strength .

The scientist also wanted to emphasize that, although we have a tendency to categorize the different emotions and attitudes with the labels of “good” or “bad”, it is necessary to know that each one of them could have an evolutionary purpose.According to Dr.Papageorgiou

“To have confidence in your own Skills is one of the key signs of great narcissism and is also the core of mental strength.If a person is mentally resilient, they are likely to accept challenges and see them as an opportunity for personal growth."

The ability in which narcissists really stand out from the rest

Narcissists stand out for your mental strength

Now, at no time are we saying that narcissism is to something good or positive or, even, that you should try to cultivate it. Nor should we ignore that we are NOT talking about people with a clinical diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder since that is a real disorder that can cause real problems to the sufferer.

What is clear is that, leaving aside the clinical narcissist, some features of narcissism are positive, it would probably make you take risks that otherwise you would not assume .If you are a person who tends to doubt himself, perhaps you would not mind observing how egocentric people think and act in your life and borrow a little of that attitude, for example For work, where we have seen that a narcissistic attitude and full confidence in yourself, can lead to not decay before any bump and insist until your ideas are heard and respected.

What do you think? ? Did you expect this to be the aspect in which narcissists stand out above the rest? What attitude do you have in general towards life? Are you one of those who have full confidence in themselves or those who doubt everything they do? If you are one of the first group, remember: that attitude will benefit you at work or in any aspect of your life as long as that trust does not become self-centered and a narcissistic attitude that is not pleasant to anyone.
