Eli5 what is the difference between self-centered and narcissistic?
In: 11
Narcissistic personality disorder has a lot of social hallmarks. The need to be liked and have your superiority constantly affirmed through others.
A hermit living in the woods could easily be self-centered. There’s nothing about living by yourself that would keep you from spending the majority of your time considering yourself and your needs without spending much time thinking of others. An isolated person would have a much harder time dealing with narcissism and not having anyone around to support their fragile ego.
