Narcissistic
Narcissistic individuals are preoccupied with themselves. Preoccupation with one’s body usually leads to hypochondriasis, or an obsessive attention to one’s health. Fromm (1964) also spoke about moral hypochondriasis, or a preoccupation with guilt about previous transgressions. People found fixated on themselves are disposed to internalize experiences and to dwell on both physical health and moral virtues. Narcissistic people possess what Horney called “neurotic claims.” They achieve security by pressing on to the distorted belief that their extraordinary personal qualities give them superiority over everyone else. Because what they have—looks, physique, wealth—is very magnificent, they believe that they need not do anything to prove their value. Their sense of worth depends on their narcissistic self-image and not only on their achievements. However, malignant narcissism impedes the perception of reality depicting that everything belonging to a narcissistic person is highly valued.
