Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), an overwhelming need for admiration, and usually a complete lack of empathy toward others. People with this disorder often believe they are of primary importance in everybody’s life or to anyone they meet. While this pattern of behavior may be appropriate for a king in 16th Century England, it is generally considered inappropriate for most ordinary people today.
If you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation. To feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make yourself appear superior. Or you may feel depressed and moody because you fall short of perfection.
Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder:
In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:
-Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
-Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
-Has a very strong sense of unreasonable expectations,
of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
-Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
-Requires excessive admiration
-Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
Clearly, your condition is one of paranoia mixed with delusion.
Self-importance ?
The discussion of Envoy's situation has NOTHING to do with ME and EVERYTHING to do with Envoy and the misinformation of a core group of characters some of whom I'm sure are associated with CLR.
I'M special ?
Where have I directed my comments at myself as the prime point of a post ? Additionally, where have my comments also been directed at, associated with or involve others who I believe are as "special as me" ?
Answer : Nowhere. I have rarely if ever discussed MYSELF in this or other threads and is rarely, if ever the point. Your obsession with me has confused you.
Unreasonable Expectations ?
That would be those like you not only expecting a guaranteed benefit without the foundation to support it, but attempt to sell YOUR unreasonable expectations to others. Actually, I consider THAT quite narcissistic.
"Arrogant" behavior ?
Yes, on that one I can see why you would think that. Considering the success of your sales pitches or in reality, the lack thereof, I realize how easily you could convert YOUR frustration into MY arrogance.
Admiration ?
Again, the subject is rarely about me and only turns that way when characters like YOU turn it that way. The subject from my POV is Envoy, the industry and accurate information to assist others in making INFORMED choices, not eaglefly.
Lacks empathy ?
Look at some recent posts here or on the other thread. You'll note some empathy even to those that don't give the impression they are worthy of it. Of course, it's hard to give empathy to those intent on weaving horse**** into Egyptian cotton.
What you have formulated in this assertion of my narcissism is essentially a strawman argument, but I realize a satisfying one.
Hey, if you want an example of someone with a TRUE NPD among other personality disorders, look no further than RJ pilot. Considering his penchant for being a pathological liar (Envoy EMB captain straight to GV captain), it mixes well with a narcissistic personality (advertising his $250,000 phantom salary) also with delusion (his conviction he knows my identity, which has always been wrong).
You should PM each other and build a friendship if it doesn't already exist. You have a lot in common.
