See also: Narcissistic personality disorder
A majority of narcissists lack self-awareness.[1] Their self-esteem/self-worth is dependent on how other individuals perceive them, and as a result they often practice denialism and deny personal flaws in themselves and accuse others for their own failings, errors, and personal misfortunes.[2][3] Individuals with narcissistic tendencies are projection-heavy people.[4][5][6]
Individuals with strong narcissistic, sociopathic/psychopathic issues deny, project, accuse, and attempt to confuse and/or hurt others.[7][8]
