Top 10 Traits Of Narcissist Woman
Narcissism is a term that’s thrown around a lot these days, and it seems like everyone is a self-proclaimed expert on the topic. But what does true narcissism really look like?
Here are the top ten traits of a narcissist woman, based on both a clinical psychologist and personal coach:
Entitlement
A narcissistic woman always feels entitled to the best of everything and she will go to great lengths to make sure she gets it. She expects others to cater to her every whim and she will take advantage of anyone she can in order to get what she wants. As entitlement is itself a form of grandiosity, it often goes hand-in-hand with the other narcissistic traits on this list.
In fact, this is one of the most common ways that narcissists end up in relationships with codependents because the codependent is always trying to please them and make them happy.
Manipulative
It is believed that manipulation is the most common trait associated with narcissism. A manipulative person will try to control the people and situations around them in order to get what they want. They may use manipulation tactics such as guilt, flattery, or even threats to get their way.
Narcissists are also known for being very charming and charismatic. This charm can be used to draw people in and then take advantage of them. For example, if a woman is trying to get a promotion at work, she may use her charm and good looks to try to seduce her boss.
Lack of empathy
This seems very harsh, but it is one of the most defining characteristics of a narcissist. They have trouble understanding how other people feel and often dismiss the feelings of others as unimportant. This can make them seem insensitive and uncaring.
Lack of empathy is often accompanied by a lack of remorse. A narcissist will not hesitate to hurt someone else, either emotionally or physically, if it means getting what they want. They may even take pleasure in causing pain to others. And if you confront them about their hurtful behavior, they are likely to blame you for overreacting or being too sensitive.
Arrogance
A narcissistic woman is extremely arrogant and believes she is better than everyone else. These women feel like they are entitled to the best of everything and will often try to take advantage of others. In fact, arrogance is something for which most narcissists are known. For example, they try to always be the center of attention and will often interrupt conversations to make sure they are the ones being listened to. Many people have also observed that narcissists will often talk about themselves in the third person.
Self-centeredness
People usually think of narcissism as a personality trait characterized by selfishness and an inflated sense of self-importance. And while that might be true to some extent, there’s a lot more to it than that. Also, self-centeredness is not always a bad thing. A little bit of healthy narcissism is necessary for a strong sense of self and high self-esteem.
The problem arises when someone’s narcissistic tendencies start to interfere with their ability to function in society and relate to others. For example, a narcissist might have a sense of entitlement that leads them to take advantage of others. Or they might be so preoccupied with their own appearance and success that they fail to see how their behavior is impacting those around them.
Always right
This is something many women are guilty of, but a narcissist takes it to an extreme. If you try to have a conversation with her and she doesn’t agree with you, she will become combative. She has to be right all the time, even if it means belittling you or making you feel small. In fact, in common life people tends to surround themselves with those who share their opinions to avoid conflict.
But a narcissistic woman will seek out people she can argue with and try to prove them wrong just for the sake of it. A narcissistic woman feels right and supreme in most cases. And even when she is wrong, she would not hesitate to blame others or manipulate the situation to her benefit.
Lack of boundaries
Lack of boundaries is one of the most common traits of a narcissistic woman. She will often invade your personal space, interrupt your conversations, and generally make you feel uncomfortable. They do so in order to get the attention and admiration they crave. In fact, in this way, they are often seen as attention-seeking and self-centered.
For example, if you are in a relationship with a narcissistic woman, she will likely demand all of your attention. She may become jealous if you talk to other people, or even if you give someone a compliment. This is because, in her mind, she believes that she deserves all of your attention and admiration.
Needs constant validation
Constant validation can be from others or from herself. If she’s not getting it from others, she’ll find ways to validate herself. This can be through social media, work, or other things that give her a sense of accomplishment. The reason why a narcissist woman needs constant validation is that she has a fragile ego. She needs to be reassured that she’s good enough and that she matters.
According to studies, narcissism is more common in women than men. This might be because society tells us that it’s okay for women to be narcissistic. In fact, it’s even seen as a positive trait in some cases. For example, a woman who is confident and has high self-esteem is often seen as a good leader. However, when a woman takes this too far, it can become a problem.
Jealousy
A narcissistic woman is incredibly jealous and will often try to sabotage relationships. She is also very possessive and will not hesitate to control those around her. In fact, jealousy is one of the most common traits of a narcissist. Because women might be more likely to experience jealousy than men, it may be more difficult for them to cope with a partner who is narcissistic.
Also, people who have narcissistic personality disorder might be more likely to experience anxiety and depression. And, they may also be more prone to developing substance abuse problems. So a simple sound of jealousy thing can be a sign that something more serious is going on.
Reactionary
This is another serious trait of a narcissistic woman who is highly reactive and often overreacts to any perceived threat. She is quick to anger and can be quite volatile. This occurs because the narcissist feels threatened and their ego is fragile. They might also become verbally or physically abusive in order to assert their power over others.
For example, if you try to leave a Narcissist, they will react by trying to control and manipulate you. They might say things like “If you leave me, I will kill myself” or “I can’t live without you”. And they might even go so far as to threaten your family or friends. This is all done in an attempt to control you and keep you from leaving.
As you can see, there are many warning signs that you may be dealing with a narcissistic woman. If you suspect that you know someone who fits this description, it’s important to be aware of their behavior and take steps to protect yourself. Remember, a narcissist is only concerned with themselves and their own needs. They will not hesitate to hurt you in order to get what they want. So it’s important to be prepared and know how to deal with them.
How Is Narcissist Woman Different From Man?
It is believed that both men and women are narcissists. But, is there a difference between the two? So the answer to this question is yes, they do differ in certain ways.
- While men are more likely to be showy and attention-seeking, women tend to be more covert.
- They will boast about their achievements and skills, but in a way that is not as obvious as the men.
- The woman will also use her looks and sexuality to get what she wants. She may dress provocatively or use her body language to seduce someone.
- The covert narcissist woman is also more likely to be manipulative. She will use people to get what she wants and then discard them once she is done with them.
- Moreover, when male narcissists are angry, they behave aggressively and can even become violent. On the other hand, female narcissists are more likely to passive-aggressively put you down or give you silent treatment.
- Females tend to use guilt and neglect as a way to control. And they will use their children as pawns to get what they want from their partners.
All in all, the narcissist woman is more difficult to spot than the man. But, once you know what to look for, you can deal with her better. It is also believed that the female narcissist is more likely to have successful relationships and marriages than the male narcissist.
This is because they are better at hiding their true nature and are more manipulative. So, if you think you are in a relationship with a narcissistic woman, be on your guard and take steps to protect yourself.
Tips To Deal
When you identify a narcissist woman, the first step is to protect yourself. Remember, narcissists, are master manipulators and will do whatever it takes to get what they want. Here are some tips to help you deal with a narcissistic woman:
Establish firm boundaries
This is one of the early things you need to do when you’re dealing with a narcissist. Remember, they will try to control you and will test your boundaries. So, it’s important that you establish firm boundaries early on. This way, they know what they can and cannot do. For example, you can say something like, “I’m not comfortable talking about that.”
In fact, firm boundaries are important even if you’re not dealing with a narcissist. Make sure your boundaries are clear and consistent. Narcissists will try to test you and see how far they can push you. So, it’s important that you are clear and consistent with your boundaries.
Keep your communication short and sweet
Narcissists love to hear themselves talk. So, the last thing you want to do is engage them in a long conversation. Keep your communication short and sweet. This way, they won’t be able to manipulate you and will eventually get bored. More often than not, they will move on to someone else. Also, it is better to not engage with them at all if you can help it. For example, they might provoke you by trying to start an argument with you and then say something like, “See, I knew you were a terrible person!” Simply walk away or ignore them altogether.
Be assertive
It is important that you be assertive when you’re dealing with a narcissist. Remember, they will try to control and manipulate you. So, it’s important that you stand up for yourself. Be firm and confident in your communication. This way, they will know that you are not someone to be messed with. In fact, assertiveness is important even if you’re not dealing with a narcissist.
Avoid being confrontational
While it is important to be assertive, you also want to avoid being confrontational. This is because narcissists love drama and will use it to their advantage. They will try to make you look bad in front of others and will use your words against you. So, it’s important to avoid being confrontational. Simply state your boundaries and stick to them. Because there is no such thing as “winners” or “losers” to a narcissist, they will eventually move on.
Don’t take their bait
Narcissists love to argue and debate. They will try to bait you into an argument so they can feel superior. It’s important that you don’t take the bait. Instead, walk away or end the conversation altogether. Also, don’t try to reason with them or explain your point of view. They will never see things from your perspective. Moreover, they will use your words against you. So, it’s best to avoid them altogether.
Focus on yourself
The most important thing you can do when dealing with a narcissist is to focus on yourself. This means, not getting lost in their drama and not giving them the attention they crave. Instead, focus on taking care of yourself and doing things that make you happy. When you do this, it will be harder for them to control you and affect your life in a negative way.
Don’t take things personally
A narcissist will say and do hurtful things. But, it’s important that you don’t take these things personally. They are not doing or saying these things because they care about you. Instead, they are doing it to manipulate and control you. Don’t let their words or actions get to you. Because if you do, they win. And most importantly, don’t give them the satisfaction of seeing you hurt.
These are just a few tips to help you deal with a narcissist woman. Remember, it’s important that you protect yourself and focus on your own happiness. When you do this, you won’t let the narcissist control you or affect your life in a negative way.
