They can be, absolutely.

I would say, I would actually answer that question in the reverse. Most narcissistic people are power hungry.

Because you can be power hungry and not necessarily be a narcissist, but you might like that control or you might just seize an opportunity. But if you are narcissistic, you're definitely power hungry. You're trying to find a way to not just control everything, but be that center of attention, be the top of the mountain. That's one of the main drives for a narcissistic person.

Yeah. I'm not going to name any names, but I think through history, we've seen tons of politicians who would fit the diagnosis criteria for narcissism. I would say politicians, coaches... CEOs in general, just people who lead business, sometimes even entrepreneurs. Any position that gives you a built in level of authority or assertiveness, I think, is a good fit for narcissists.

I've even seen them in positions like dentists. Like one of my clients was a dentist, a very well-known dentist here in the Twin Cities area. I guess I had a few people who worked in like, I'm not going to name any companies, but they worked in some of the larger companies that we have here. One was in medical, one was in a tech field. Uh, the other one worked for a big, uh, store department.

So you have these folks who, who they're, they find themselves in leadership positions. Uh, Believe it or not, you may even find a lot of narcissists in religious sectors as well. People who certainly the lead clergy and things of that nature. You wouldn't think it because, you know, they're usually using whatever the higher power is.

But there's a level of that authority being the lead person within this spiritual realm, being the connection to you and the clergy and the higher power. You'll find folks who are also in the religious sector as well as narcissists.

Yeah, it's more the latter. That people come with particular issues and then we kind of stumble upon the narcissism as we kind of break down or filter through what is happening. Some people have been told, you know, narcissism has gained a lot of popularity due to the internet. I would say over the last maybe 10 years, there's some very popular YouTubers who talk about narcissism.

There's a lot of folks on TikTok that talk about it, even folks who have the diagnosis themselves on TikTok talking about their experience. But the field that has highlighted this the most has been the divorce field. So there's a lot of divorce lawyers and people who've gone through the divorce who talk about their narcissistic exes. Which is a very interesting dynamic.

So the heightened awareness has brought more of what you said, where people are coming in with the curiosity, like, hey, I think I'm narcissistic. And here's why. Because the awareness around the diagnosis has increased due to technology, due to social media. Yeah.
