A narcissist is someone who was raised to seek their parents' validation and, as an adult, continues to need constant reassurance. Narcissists' fear of being disliked is so great that they try to manipulate others into validating them, ironically becoming unlikable. The distain narcissists experience from others causes them to need validation even more, creating a vicious cycle of pushing others away and becoming even more desperate for praise.
