6. Being excessively pampered.
Being excessively pampered or overindulged by parents peers or family members is sometimes at play here too. Again, many times a person with NPD will come from a highly narcissistic family. These families tend to spoil the child expecting nothing from the child in return, giving the child a distorted understanding of their importance, and setting this child up to develop full-blown NPD.
The child will grow up believing that this type of pampering and over-indulgence is normal and should be expected and required of everyone in their adult lives.
