Narcissists feel left out more often—but are they misreading the room?

Grandiose narcissists feel ostracized and experience exclusion more often than those with less egocentric personalities, according to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
Individuals with narcissistic rivalry are more likely to be ostracized than those exhibiting narcissistic admiration, according to Christiane Böttner, the lead author of the study.
The study suggests that social skills training and cognitive behavioral therapy could help narcissists develop healthier coping mechanisms and challenge feelings of exclusion, as noted by Böttner.
The study highlights challenges in managing relationships with narcissists due to their disruptive behaviors and victim mentality, as reported by social psychologist Ramani Durvasula.
