Feeding my NSO

Grandiose, self promoting, larger than life

Charismatic and manipulative

Strong sense of entitlement

Empathy doesn't come naturally

Can't take criticism - hurt, overreact, defensive

Their confidence is to hide huge insecurities

Very vulnerable

Positive attention is painkiller

Safe, playful spaces can help for challenging behavior

Direct attacks to narcissist are bad, use team dynamics to alter behaviors
