18. They are more prone to depression.
A research conducted in 2020 has shown that there is an increased risk of depression in people with pathological narcissism. While the exact cause is not yet clear, it may be linked with a difficulty in dealing with emotions. One theory states that because narcissistic people are unable to truly process their feelings about themselves, their negative emotions build up. Their efforts to hide their weaknesses from others also lead to them becoming more aloof and depressed. On the other hand, pathological grandiosity often results in failure in both personal and professional areas. This could lead to a feeling of loneliness, isolation, and a lack of accomplishment, possibly triggering depression.
