HOW NARCISSISTS EFFECT PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIPS

ABSTRACT

The word 'Narcissism' was coined in the 8th AD, it is the extreme self-involvement to the degree that it makes a person ignore the needs of those around them, this paper focuses on the effect that narcissistic people have in different relationships, that mean how they cause suffering to the people in any kind of relationship that is involved, the suffering here can be both psychological and physical. To go on with this research, extensive review of literature has been done, more than twenty literatures were thoroughly analysed to assemble this research, by concluding that, they can hinder growth of a child by being ignorant, unforgivable, and condescending. Additionally, their partner can be shown great deal of aggression including name calling, physical, mental and emotional abuse. Furthermore, they also negatively influence their friends into performing hazardous behaviour like doing drugs and taking alcohol. Not only in the case of social relationships but also narcissistic leaders can prove to be destructive for the organisation. As the narcissists are grandiose, entitled, self- confident, manipulative etc. they overlap substantially for narcissistic qualities and hence, can destroy an organisation. Therefore, one must pay heed to the kind of people he/she is interacting with as if dealt in with too deep, it can cause a wound made by thousand small cuts.
