Malignant narcissists: HSPs gone bad? Posted on June 12, 2015 by luckyotter The concept of malignant narcissism and HSP traits coexisting in the same person is a matter that has very little research behind it (I could find nothing at all on Google), so this article is based on my own opinions, gleaned through a combination of my readings and personal observations of the narcissists I have known.
