Narcissists may be unbearable in their eagerness to get attention, but, according to some researchers, they are also more likely than the rest to be successful.
Although their personality traits may seem negative, but their sense of superiority gives them a "mental strength" that allows them not to give up.
According to an international team of researchers, narcissists tend to be the best in the fields of education, work and love.
The high value they have of themselves is what gives them so much confidence in their person.
1. Charming and motivated
For psychologists, narcissism is one of the features along with Machiavellianism and psychopathy of the so-called dark triad.
Narcissists tend to focus on themselves, be vain and need the admiration of others. Studies have shown that narcissists are generally socially successful, are not deterred by rejection and their need for attention can make them charming and highly motivated.
2. Everything is about me
The "power" of narcissism is now visible to all, he says, in the prevalence of narcissism in popular culture, whether in social networks, in reality shows or in politics.
Analyzing a sample of more than 300 young people identified as narcissistic in a secondary school in Italy, they found that they tended to score much higher than expected, according to other intelligence tests.
Psychologists say that in addition to being self-centered and needing to dominate, these narcissists have high levels of emotional resistance and determination.
3. Lovely monsters
The advantages of being a Nacisist are manifested later in college, at work, and even in love.
Narcissists are more likely to attract more couples.
"They're pretty charismatic, if you spend a lot of time trying to be charming and persuade other people, you can be more attractive."
To end these personality traits should not be seen "as good or bad" but as "products of evolution" and "expressions of human nature."
