What is hypersensitive NPD?

Hypersensitive Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a condition where individuals with NPD display extreme sensitivity and easily feel offended, criticized, or rejected. They may overreact to perceived slights or even minor criticism, often responding with anger, defensive behavior, or emotional manipulation as a means of protecting themselves in fragile situations. These individuals tend to have a fragile self-esteem and require constant validation from others. They may also be prone to aggressive behavior, particularly when their sense of self-worth is threatened. Overall, hypersensitive NPD can significantly impact a person's ability to form and maintain healthy relationships and lead to significant distress in their personal and professional lives.
