How to Appear Less Narcissistic

This video answers the question: How can someone appear less narcissistic? Sometimes it can be difficult to change trait narcissism, but there are a few basic behaviors that may help to alter the appearance of narcissism.

Narcissism can be divided into two factors: grandiose (sometimes referred to as overt), and vulnerable (sometimes referred to as covert or hypersensitive). Grandiose narcissism has characteristics like arrogance, a sense of entitlement, and being socially bold. It's associated with a high level of extraversion. Vulnerable narcissism has characteristics like being resentful, hypersensitive, having social insecurity, being defensive, and being avoidant. It's associated with a low level of extraversion. Vulnerable narcissism seems to have a lot in common with borderline personality disorder, but the overlap is limited.
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) also has nine symptom criteria in the DSM: a grandiose sense of self-importance; fantasies about wealth and power, believing oneself to be special or unique, requiring excessive admiration from others, a sense of entitlement, a tendency to exploit other people interpersonally, a lack of empathy, envy, and arrogance.
