Are narcissists their own worst enemy? Study reveals how their attention-seeking behaviour leads to social isolation

Hindustan Times  

Grandiose narcissists see themselves as superior, crave admiration, and expect special treatment. Narcissists are more sensitive to social exclusion A study from the University of Basel in Switzerland suggests that narcissists, despite believing they deserve the spotlight, are actually more likely to be left out socially. Analysing 14 years of data from over 72,000 people in New Zealand, researchers found that as narcissistic behaviours increased, so did social exclusion the following year. "Narcissism may contribute to social exclusion, but ostracism itself can also fuel the development of narcissistic traits," explains Büttner. "If people with high narcissistic traits are more likely to feel and be excluded, this could contribute to escalating tensions in workplaces or social groups.
