The Hidden Wounds Behind Extreme Narcissism

Ever met someone who leaves emotional devastation in their wake? That person might be what psychotherapist Joseph Burgo calls an "Extreme Narcissist" - not just someone who takes too many selfies, but an individual with a defensive personality structure affecting about 5% of the population. What makes these individuals particularly dangerous is that their behavior stems not from excessive self-love, but from profound shame they're desperate to escape. This shame creates a psychological fortress where they must always be the winner, making everyone else the loser. Understanding this winner-loser dynamic is crucial for protecting yourself from their destructive patterns. Whether they appear as moral crusaders, bullies, know-it-alls, or seducers, Extreme Narcissists share one thing: a desperate need to avoid feeling defective by making others feel inferior instead.
