The Toxic Effects of A Narcissist infographic

A narcissist is someone who exhibits a high degree of self-centeredness and believes that their needs are more important than others. Although we are all capable of being selfish or arrogant at times, this is a narcissist's default way of acting. They may initially appear as charming or self-assured, but over time, a narcissist’s genuine characteristics of arrogance, deception, lack of empathy, and inability to take criticism become more apparent. It is estimated that 15% to 20% of the population have NPD, so it is highly likely that almost everyone has come into close contact with a narcissist at some point.
