9Showy Sense of Self-importance
As you would expect, people with narcissism tend to focus on themselves and their major accomplishments. In other words, they want other people to recognize them as superior, influential, important, or famous, even when their achievements don’t necessarily justify it. In some cases, narcissists might even exaggerate these events to fool other people, either strangers or acquaintances. When they fail at performing something at work, these individuals will always have explanations or excuses for their mistakes or errors as well. [9]
