Grandiose narcissists can become angry when criticized and need constant attention. Grandiose narcissism is a pattern characterized by exaggerated feelings of superiority, entitlement, self-importance, an obsessive need for admiration, and a lack of empathy toward others.
People with narcissistic grandiosity have a highly inflated sense of self-importance. They crave admiration and tend to make social situations all about them. Unlike vulnerable narcissists who hide their insecurities behind defensiveness, grandiose narcissists see themselves as superior, exude confidence, and use their charm to get what they want from others.
A grandiose narcissist is someone who displays an excessive sense of self-importance—and they're not at all subtle about it. Their haughtiness is *highly* visible, even showy. They're not just propping themselves up, either. Their inflated sense of self-esteem often comes at the expense of relationships or activities that would benefit them in other ways. They rely heavily on others to validate their importance, even deceiving others to gain the admiration and recognition they need.
Grandiose narcissists tend to be manipulative, exploitative, and lacking in empathy for those around them.
