I'm a psychologist - here's how to tell if someone is a narcissist (or just toxic)

Daily Mail  

A psychologist has revealed how you can tell whether someone is a narcissist - or is acting in a toxic manner. TRAITS & BEHAVIOURS Dr Ramani says that to label someone a narcissist, the person must exhibit a number of specific traits - and lack other ones - which, in turn, lead to specific behaviours According to Dr Ramani, a narcissistic person has the following traits: low, inconsistent empathy; grandiosity; entitlement; and arrogance. Reflecting on what makes someone toxic, Dr Ramani highlights that a toxic person may make us feel uncomfortable due to the way they treat us or other people. In other words, a trait or behaviour that one person finds toxic could be perfectly acceptable to someone else 'The thing that motivates is their need for control, power, domination - something to offset their insecurity and shame,' Dr Ramani explains. Dr Ramani says that a person whose behaviour is toxic rather than narcissistic 'may not have the same demons and insecurity' as a narcissist.
