In Tamil, the word for narcissism is நார்சிசிஸம் (narcissism), which refers to a personality trait characterized by an excessive preoccupation with oneself, a need for attention and admiration from others, and a lack of empathy for others. People who exhibit narcissistic traits may have an inflated sense of self-importance, believe they are special and unique, and expect to be treated differently from others. They may also be preoccupied with their appearance and seek attention and admiration from others.

Narcissistic individuals may have difficulty maintaining healthy relationships with others, as they may be overly demanding, controlling, or dismissive of others’ needs and feelings. It is important to note that not everyone who exhibits some of these traits is necessarily a narcissist, and a professional diagnosis is required to confirm the presence of narcissistic personality disorder.
