Narcissism is a personality trait that can be described as having a swollen sense of self-importance, patterns of vainglory, a need to be admired, or a lack of empathy towards others. Many people who identify as narcissistic can be described as overly dramatic, manipulative, arrogant, and self-centered. However, like many other unique personality traits, it can be easily assumed that narcissism is also a trait unique to men. However, narcissism is not unique to gender or sex. Narcissism in women is not new and while there seems to be a gender gap in the diagnosis of narcissism, the traits and signs of narcissism in females and males tend to differ slightly. A female narcissist is more likely to use guilt or neglect to control others whereas a male narcissist may use their power and ranking to exert control.
