«Learn clinical narcissist is not easy, because people are often involved in a distorted representation of reality narcissus (his cognitive distortion). A sure sign of a true narcissist - the failure to recognize that it is a false idea, they do not suffer hardship. Another sign of identification - a "trace" of failed personal relationships. The third feature - the tendency to use others to achieve personal gain. For a true narcissist goal always justifies the means ».

Approval can help in the work - when people feel strange confession, they repeat the behavior approved. »

blockquote> According conducted ten years ago, a study led by the recognition of a list of things that employees want from employers. More than 79% of employees quit their jobs because of lack of satisfaction. And from the people who are satisfied with their work, 94, 4% believe that managers appreciate them highly.

If we understand the difference between the lungs narcissistic qualities and clinical narcissism, you can turn these qualities to their advantage. First you need to admit to ourselves that we crave the approval of others: at work, in personal relationships or on the Internet.

Next you need to understand that it is normal and natural. Do not reproach yourself, but consider how you behaved. As the people who you are looking for recognition, you react? How did they treat you? You feel that they are kind to you or just putting up with your existence?

If you feel that you have recently become selfish, just do something good. Jill explains that the actions aimed at someone else's well-being, helping us to move beyond their own little world.

And in your life is the person you have helped. If the extra money you do not, then there are other ways to help those in need.

Of course, true altruism - it is when you do something just like that, without waiting for this award. However, this does not happen: at least you are making yourself a "credit good deeds" and feel good, so it's not entirely altruistic, but rather disguised selfishness.
