Recognizing a narcissist early can prevent emotional manipulation and abuse. Surprisingly, research from the University of Toronto suggests that distinctive eyebrows could be a key indicator of narcissism. People with thicker, denser eyebrows are more likely to exhibit narcissistic traits, according to a study where participants were misidentified based on eyebrow characteristics alone.

The link may stem from narcissists’ heightened focus on their appearance, leading them to groom their eyebrows meticulously to enhance their attractiveness. In addition to eyebrow traits, narcissists may show subtle facial reactions like eye and forehead muscle twitches when faced with criticism or failure.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is marked by self-centeredness, lack of empathy, and manipulation. If you suspect someone of narcissism, distancing yourself is often the best option, as narcissists typically resist criticism and refuse to seek help.
