Communal narcissism is a subtype of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) characterized by an excessive preoccupation with a group or community that the individual belongs to, and a belief that this group is superior to others. People with communal narcissism often have an inflated sense of entitlement, demand special treatment, and seek admiration and attention from others in the group.
Unlike other types of narcissists who tend to focus on their own individual needs and desires, communal narcissists define their self-worth based on their affiliation with the group. They may engage in behaviors that benefit the group, but only if it also brings them personal recognition and admiration. They may also become defensive or hostile when their status within the group is challenged or threatened.
Overall, communal narcissism can be destructive to group dynamics and can lead to conflict and division within the group.
