Narcissistic Men May Pay High Cost in Stress, Cardio Health | Psych Central News
We need to help all children have a balanced self esteem. There are enough self centered people and this study shows that it just isnt good for you.
New research suggests that in addition to relationship difficulties, egotistical men may have an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease thanks to higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
“Narcissistic men may be paying a high price in terms of their physical health, in addition to the psychological cost to their relationships,” said Sara Konrath, Ph.D., a study co-author.
Earlier studies by Konrath and others have shown that narcissism is rising in American culture, and that narcissism tends to be more prevalent among males. Narcissism is characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, over-estimations of uniqueness, and a sense of grandiosity.”
