{{Cquote|[[Grandiose narcissism]] is a personality trait associated with individuals who have an inflated sense of self-importance, a strong need for admiration, and a tendency to exaggerate their own abilities and achievements. People with grandiose narcissism often exhibit a sense of entitlement, a desire for power and control, and a lack of empathy towards others.

This trait can be divided into two components: narcissistic admiration and narcissistic rivalry. Narcissistic admiration involves an excessive self-centered desire to be admired by others. It encompasses a deep yearning for constant praise, recognition, and validation of one’s perceived superiority and uniqueness. It is often driven by an inflated sense of self-importance and the need for external validation. On the other hand, narcissistic rivalry entails a need to devalue others, a desire to witness their failures, and aggression towards them.<ref>[https://www.psypost.org/highly-intelligent-grandiose-narcissists-are-less-prone-to-narcissistic-rivalry/ Highly intelligent grandiose narcissists are less prone to narcissistic rivalry], PsyPost,  June 22, 2023</ref>}}
