If you google, “what is a narcissist?” there are 128,000,000 results. It’s a hot topic, but sometimes the term is bantered about loosely without people really understanding the meaning. Narcissists are self-centered, egotistical, manipulative people who crave control. And at some point in your life, you may have encountered a narcissist at work without even realizing. Knowing the signs to watch out for and how to deal with one can make life a great deal easier. Dr. Sanam Hafeez is an NYC Neuropsychologist and Director of Comprehend the Mind.
