One of the biggest warning signs of narcissistic personality disorder is the affected individual will often take advantage of others. Narcissistic personality disorder is a disorder that causes extreme distress, unhappiness, and dissatisfaction in the individual. However, it can also cause harm to those around them. Untreated narcissistic personality disorder can often manifest as manipulative and insensitive behaviors. An individual with narcissistic personality disorder may not intend to do harm, but their sense of insecurity and need for validation can easily become toxic. This is especially true when they have a sense of superiority and a sense of entitlement. Since they may struggle to conceptualize others as individuals who are equal to them, they're more likely to take advantage. A person with this disorder might go to great lengths to get the validation and attention they need, even when it hurts others. They may have trouble respecting boundaries or understanding why the boundaries exist. They may not be able or willing to recognize the feelings or needs of others, and therefore not understand why taking advantage is wrong.
