Finding the right person to date can be a mission – and it can be particularly tough if the person you like is a narcissist.
Relationship expert Jessica Alderson has revealed the secret signs to look out for and the red flags that could indicate your relationship may be toxic.
Jessica, who is the Co-Founder and Relationship Expert at So Syncd, told Fabulous: “A narcissist is a person who has an inflated sense of their own importance and an excessive need for admiration.
“I would strongly advise against dating a narcissist because it will never result in a healthy, fulfilling relationship.
“It’s easier said than done though.
“Narcissists are very good at hiding their unhealthy traits in the early stages of dating.
“No one is perfect but, at the same time, don’t ignore red flags and look for trends in behavior.
“It could save you a lot of heartache further down the line.”
With that in mind, here are Jessica’s top signs that show your partner is a narcissist…
1. They lack empathy
One of the most obvious signs that your partner is a narcissist is that they lack empathy.
Narcissists are self-centered and rarely consider how their partner might be feeling. It’s all about them.
2. They have a sense of entitlement
Narcissists fundamentally believe that they are above everyone else.
They think that they deserve special treatment because they view themselves as superior.
For example, they might expect to be served first in a restaurant even if there are others who have been waiting in line.
3. They need constant validation
There is nothing a narcissist loves more than admiration. They bask in compliments and attention makes them feel alive.
It stems from a deep insecurity and, ultimately, external validation makes them feel better about themselves for a short period of them.
4. They try to control you
Narcissists often try to control people and situations because they think that this means they can influence how they are viewed by others.
It reduces the risk of a situation arising where they suffer a blow to their ego.
5. They use sarcasm to put you down
Typically, narcissists use sarcasm to subtly make other people feel less worthy and insecure.
They make you doubt your self-worth through sarcastic comments masked as jokes and if you question these ‘jokes’, they’ll likely tell you that you are oversensitive.
6. They ignore your point of view
Narcissists think that they are always right. A narcissist will shut off when you try to explain your perspective on a situation because they are convinced that they know best.
7. They disregard your boundaries
Narcissists think that the world revolves around them. Even if you set clear boundaries in your relationship, narcissists will.
