Summary
Narcissism is identified by selfishness, the need for control, a feeling of superiority, a lack of empathy, and manipulative behaviors. So, as you attempt to understand it fully, you may wonder if it means that person is given over to evil intentions. Dr. C explains how there is a great overlap between narcissism and evil, and gives a thorough working understanding of this quality so you can be informed. Your comprehension of evil can allow you to know how to have strong boundaries and initiatives.
