Narcissistic rivalry "causes individuals to hold confrontational self-protection strategies, pursue hegemony, and maintain grand self-image through aggressive means such as attacking and degrading others, or through reactive aggression in the face of perceived threats, resulting in interpersonal conflict".[2]
In 2023, the PsyPost website noted:
| “ | 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.[3] |
