🌟 Let's explore the differences between the "somatic" and "cerebral" narcissists!

1️⃣ **Somatic Narcissists** are primarily focused on their physical appearance. They thrive on attention related to their looks, often using their body to gain admiration.💪 They may spend significant time and resources to maintain their image, feeling validated through compliments about their appearance.

2️⃣ **Cerebral Narcissists**, on the other hand, seek validation through their intellect. 🧠 They pride themselves on their knowledge, often believing that they are superior because of their intelligence. When praised for their cognitive abilities, they feel a sense of worth and superiority.

Both types highlight different avenues through which narcissists find validation, yet both struggle with the same underlying issue: a deep insecurity masked by grandiosity. Understanding these types can help those affected by narcissistic behavior better navigate their experiences and set healthy boundaries. 💖
