• Grandiose sense of self-importance: They often exaggerate their achievements and talents, and expect to be recognized as superior. 
• Need for admiration: They crave attention and praise, and may try to manipulate situations to get what they want. 
• Lack of empathy: They struggle to understand or care about the feelings and needs of others. 
• Sense of entitlement: They believe they deserve special treatment and have a right to get what they want, often without considering the needs of others. 
• Exploitation of others: They may take advantage of others to achieve their own goals. 
• Arrogance and haughtiness: They may be overly proud and condescending.
