Narcissus by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.

Narcissism is excessive love of oneself.

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) entails behaviors and attitudes that are designed to preserve a self-image of perfection, entitlement, and superiority.[1]

According the Cleveland Clinic:

“ Experts aren’t sure how common NPD is. According to research data, between 0.5% and 5% of people in the U.S. may have it. Between 50% and 75% of cases affect men and people assigned male at birth (AMAB).

However, many people hide narcissistic beliefs or behaviors (informally known as “covert narcissism”). Because of that, it’s hard to estimate how many people truly have NPD.[2]

”

NPD often goes undiagnosed because many people with the condition are reluctant they have issues with narcissism because they think that their problems associated with the condition are all about everyone else and not about them[3] Due to what they they perceive as insults to self-esteem, it is often difficult for NPD patients to accept and follow through with treatment.[4]

A codependent personality is someone who is people pleaser in an unhealthy way due to factors such as low self-worth, fear of rejection and fear of not being in a romantic relationship.[5][6] The Psychcentral.com article The Give and Take Between Narcissistic and Codependent Personalities indicates: "There is often an attraction between individuals with codependent tendencies and those with narcissistic tendencies. This pair may connect for a variety of reasons, including the mutual need to feel needed. The codependent person tends to give continuously, while the narcissistic person tends to take. These two personalities have a lot in common, but their differences can make their relationship unhealthy or even toxic.[7]

Narcissism and invididuals who have multiple divorces

Narcissistic rage is an outburst of intense anger or silence that can happen to someone with narcissistic personality disorder.[8]

The abstract for journal article Personality characteristics of Divorce-Prone individuals: A preliminary clinical study published in the journal Contemporary Family Therapy indicates:

“ This study focuses on Divorce-Prone individuals and the question of why some persons fail in one marriage after another. The authors studied 12 individuals who had each been divorced two or more times. They found that the cases fell into one of three broad and overlapping groups. The groups have been called the Self-Involved Narcissists, the Compliant Depressed, and the Casualties of Life's Vicissitudes. The individuals and the groups demonstrate a different etiology, different treatment problems, and a very different prognosis.[9] ”

According to the psychologist Holly Parker who teaches the course "The Psychology of Close Relationships" at Harvard University, "Research does suggest that people who marry multiple times are more likely (than people who do not marry multiple times) to have personality traits and issues with emotional health that make it difficult to maintain satisfying, long-term relationships. That can mean, even if you're not looking for anything lasting, you won't have much fun with a narcissist whose self-absorption and emotional detachment helped end several marriages."[10]
