10 Unmistakable Signs of Narcissism

10a. Extremely Reactive to Perceived Criticism

A classic hallmark of narcissism is a strong, negative reaction to any perceived criticisms.

It’s more than typical aversion to criticism.

No one really enjoys criticism, and many people naturally feel defensive when criticized. A narcissist, though, takes it to a different level. Narcissists do not handle any type of criticism well at all.

This mishandling leads to:

  • Interpersonal conflicts
  • Anger
  • Moodiness
  • Rage

Specifically, when faced with even minor criticism, narcissists show an incredible lack of receptivity (as in, they do not accept the criticism). Despite their rejection of outside criticism, they are also quick to criticize others.
