Vulnerable Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a lesser-known form of narcissism that often hides behind sensitivity, self-doubt, and a fragile sense of self-worth. Unlike the overt, grandiose narcissist who thrives on dominance and attention, a vulnerable narcissist struggles with feelings of inadequacy, fear of rejection, and hypersensitivity to criticism.

Some common traits include difficulty handling perceived slights, emotional defensiveness, envy of others’ success, and oscillating between feelings of superiority and insecurity.
