How to identify vulnerable/fragile/hypersensitive NPD?

Identifying vulnerable/fragile/hypersensitive NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) can be challenging, as individuals with this condition may exhibit different behaviors depending on their current emotional state. However, some common signs of vulnerability in NPD include a tendency to feel easily hurt, a fear of criticism or rejection, a desire for constant validation and attention, and an inability to handle even minor setbacks or failures. These individuals may also have unstable self-esteem and be highly reactive to perceived threats or perceived challenges to their self-worth. Observation of their behaviors and conversations with them can help identify such individuals, after which appropriate support can be provided to help them cope with their struggles.
