We often think of narcissists as egotistical and manipulative. On ‘What’s Trending’, hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest therapist Ryan Heapy discuss a new study suggesting they may be happier than most people!
The Upside of Narcissism
Narcissists may thrive in our modern world because their high self-confidence and lack of concern for others can help them get ahead. Their inflated sense of importance can act as a shield against negative emotions and stress.
The Dark Side of Narcissism
While narcissists might feel good about themselves, they often cause emotional damage to those around them. Due to their lack of empathy, they may not realize or care about the pain they inflict while pursuing their own goals.
Finding Balance
It’s important to have a healthy level of self-interest and confidence to navigate life’s challenges.
