What are the characteristics of fragile narcissism?
Fragile narcissism is a subtype of narcissism that is characterized by an intense need for validation and admiration, yet a fragile sense of self-esteem. People with this type of narcissism tend to be easily hurt and offended by criticism or rejection, and may react with rage or withdrawal. They also tend to have a grandiose sense of self-importance and entitlement, and need constant admiration and attention to maintain their fragile self-esteem. However, underneath their inflated façade lies a deep well of insecurity and self-doubt, which can be triggered by any perceived threat to their fragile ego.
