Vulnerable narcissist traits may include:
Appearing shy: Instead of using loud behaviors to attract attention, a vulnerable narcissist often prefers smaller, more intimate conversations where they intentionally control how the interaction plays out.
More sensitive to criticism: Because the root of NPD is insecurity, they are hypersensitive to criticism and will usually have an extreme reaction to criticism or perceived criticism.
Higher levels of anxiety: Vulnerable narcissists typically have lower self-esteem than grandiose narcissists and will frequently focus on consciously compensating for their insecurities more.
Self-serving empathy: A vulnerable narcissist may outwardly show what looks like empathy. However, they may completely disconnect after receiving attention or use shared information against a person.
Inflated sense of self-importance: A vulnerable narcissist may make comments on their superiority in one-on-one settings or just to themselves internally. They may also display their feelings of importance with subtle actions like eye rolls or yawning when another person talks.
Excessive need for admiration: Like typical narcissists, vulnerable narcissists need to fill their narcissistic supply. To receive attention, they may share emotional turmoils to get pity and sympathy or withdraw from a situation to be chased by another person.
The compassionate narcissist often instigates conflict, and when confronted, they quickly shift into the role of the victim. They manipulate the situation to gain sympathy, enlisting their "flying monkeys"-those who enable or support their behaviour-to turn against you and launch an attack.
