3. Spiritual Narcissists: 12 Signs & How to Deal With One

Spiritual narcissists specifically seek out validation about their heightened level of spiritual development. They find their supply both through validation of their holiness and spiritual attainment as well as through the continued practice of their beliefs. Through engagement in their practice, they create a cycle of narcissistic satisfaction–their dedication to their beliefs becomes the proof they need of their superiority and becomes the focus of further gloating.

Some additional defining traits of a spiritual narcissist include:

Preoccupied by fantasies of spiritual greatness
Lack of empathy
Sense of entitlement
Grandiose perceptions of spirituality
Extreme sensitivity to criticism regarding spiritualism
Need for spiritual admiration
Exploitative and manipulative of others
