Think you might be dating a 'vulnerable narcissist'? Look out for these red flags

Single people are increasingly turning online to find love, with more than 300 million people around the world trying their luck on dating apps.

Key Points: 
  • Single people are increasingly turning online to find love, with more than 300 million people around the world trying their luck on dating apps.
  • But for others, stories of online dating have very different endings.

The dark side of online dating

    • But online dating isn’t without risk.
    • Antisocial dating behaviours are common online, such as ghosting and breadcrumbing (when someone gives you crumbs of attention to keep you interested, with no intention of progressing the relationship).
    • One study found up to 81% of online dating users had engaged in some form of it.

Behind the mask

    • Narcissism in a broad sense can be conceptualised as a personality trait that falls on a continuum.
    • Those at the extreme end are characterised by entitlement, superiority, and a strong need for attention, admiration and approval.
    • Vulnerable narcissism is characterised by high emotional sensitivity and a defensive, insecure grandiosity that masks feelings of incompetence and inadequacy.

Here’s what we found

    • That is, those with higher scores for vulnerable narcissism presented more inauthentically.
    • Participants who had ghosted or breadcrumbed someone also had higher scores for vulnerable narcissism.
    • However, it should be noted these effects were small, and not everyone who ghosts is likely to be a vulnerable narcissist.

Might I be dating a vulnerable narcissist?


    Vulnerable narcissists can be difficult to identify in the early stages of dating because the persona they present isn’t their authentic self. Over time, however, the mask usually comes off. If you’re wondering whether you’re dating a vulnerable narcissist, look out for these red flags waving in sync.

I think I’m dating a vulnerable narcissist!

    • Vulnerable narcissists are prone to engaging in emotionally abusive behaviours.
    • If you suspect you’re dating one then you may be experiencing domestic violence, or be at significant risk of it if the relationship continues.
    • If you have concerns, it’s important to seek support from your family doctor, a psychologist, or a domestic violence support service.
