Fragile People: Why Narcissism Is Not a Vice, But a Trait You Can Learn to Live With

How would you describe a narcissist? As a selfish, narcissistic person? As a cold, callous, proud person? But certainly not as a fragile or vulnerable person, right?

Indeed, among us there are those very perverse narcissists, about whose cruelty legends are composed. However, according to scientists, people with pronounced narcissistic pathology make up no more than 4%. Much more than others - hidden narcissists. Their narcissism, that is, a healthy idea of ​​​​their own significance, is also wounded. However, instead of showing excessive self-confidence, they constantly devalue ​​their own achievements and scold themselves for the slightest mistake. Instead of feigned self-admiration, they choose self-doubt and suffer from background anxiety. Their self-esteem is fragile, as it completely depends on the opinions of others.

The author of this book, psychotherapist and expert on narcissism Yulia Pirumova, destroys stereotypes about narcissists that have been formed over the years and opens a secret door to a fragile world where everyone involuntarily recognizes themselves.
