Definition:
Vulnerable narcissist ek aisa narcissist hota hai jo bahar se self-doubt, insecurity aur anxiety dikhata hai, lekin andar se wo same narcissistic traits carry karta hai jaise entitlement, self-centeredness aur lack of empathy. Is type ka narcissist apni weaknesses ka use sympathy aur control ke liye karta hai.
Yeh log logon se extreme reassurance maangte hain, aur jab wo na mile to victim ban jaate hain ya emotionally withdraw kar lete hain. Inki narcissism direct nahi hoti, par emotional manipulation ka powerful tool hoti hai.
Key Traits:
- Self-pity aur victim mentality
- Overly sensitive to criticism
- Emotional blackmail aur guilt-tripping
- Passive-aggressive behavior
- Apne trauma ka constant zikr, without change
Example:
Aman hamesha kehta tha, “Main bahut toot gaya hoon, isliye main thoda rude ho jaata hoon.” Jab uski girlfriend ne uske hurtful comments ka jawab diya, to usne kaha, “Main toh waise hi kuch nahi hoon, sab mujhe chhod dete hain.”
Yeh pattern baar-baar repeat hota tha — jahan wo sympathy gather karta tha aur apne actions ki accountability nahi leta.
