Sažetak

Normalan narcizam dio je ljudske svakodnevnice, a patološki narcizam, s narcističkim
poremećajem ličnosti kao oblikom teže manifestacije, teško je i rijetko dijagnosticirano
stanje. Patološki narcizam varijabilnog je prikaza kod većine ljudi, a uglavnom se dijeli na grandiozni i ranjivi oblik. Živimo u vremenu u kojem se sve više cijeni visoko samopouzdanje i ambicioznost, ljudi teže k tomu da budu bolji od drugih i ne srame se to pokazati, a društvene mreže služe kao platforma za promoviranje sebe i svojih uspjeha. No nije uvijek lako odrediti granicu visokog samopoštovanja i narcizma. Nalazi pokazuju da narcisoidne tendencije u svijetu naglo rastu, većinom pod utjecajem individualističke kulture, tehnološkog razvoja i utjecaja slavnih osoba. Narcizam općenito utječe na odnose s drugima, a čak i mali broj pojedinaca može utjecati na pokretanje društvenih promjena. Zato je potrebno osmisliti intervencije koje će smanjiti narcizam, ali neće smanjiti samopoštovanje. Osobe s narcističkim poremećajem ličnosti zahtjevno je liječiti psihoterapijom zbog njihove smanjene kooperativnosti, ali akumulirana literatura omogućuje izdvajanje nekih načina koji će omogućiti jednostavnije liječenje.

Abstract

Normal narcissism is a part of everyday life, but pathological narcissism, with narcissistic
personality disorder as the more severe form of manifestation, is a difficult and rarely diagnosed condition. Pathological narcissism has a variable presentation in most people and is mainly divided into the grandiose and vulnerable form of narcissism. We live in a time where having a lot of self-confidence and ambition is increasingly valued, where people strive to be better than others and are not ashamed to show it, and where social media serve as platforms where people can promote themselves and their successes. However, it is not always easy to determine the line between high self-esteem and narcissism. Findings show that narcissistic tendencies are on the rise worldwide, mostly due to the influence of an individualistic culture, technological development and celebrities. In general, narcissism affects one’s relationships with others, and even a small number of individuals can initiate a social change. That is why it is necessary to create interventions that will reduce narcissism but will not reduce self-esteem. People with narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder are difficult to treat with therapy because of their reduced cooperativeness, but the accumulated literature makes it possible to single out some ways that will allow easier treatment.
