People tend to use the word narcissist to describe someone selfish, vain or “full of themselves”.
A true narcissist - someone who has narcissist personality disorder - is more than just over-confident and self-centred.
Dr Hawkins said a narcissist will dismiss your feelings or thoughts.
They may say they don't believe them or that you shouldn't feel or think that way, use gaslighting or name-calling.
Gaslighting is when someone creates a false narrative and makes the other party question their judgments and reality.
A gaslight might say you are overreacting to a situation, tell you that something didn't happen as you remember it, or distract you from the issue.
They may also find ways to blame you for their actions and will give you the silent treatment if you do something they don't like, Dr Hawkins added.
