Narcissistic Personality Disorder
When I read the description of this condition I could not believe how well it described someone I know. Sometimes we brush off people by saying they just have an "ego" but there are some cases where that ego is taken to an extreme. Do you feel identified with these characteristics or maybe a loved one or friend?

| Characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity and self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy, people with narcissistic personality disorder overestimate their abilities and inflate their accomplishments, often appearing boastful and pretentious, whilst correspondingly underestimating and devaluing the achievements and accomplishments of others. Often the narcissist will fraudulently claim to have qualifications or experience or affiliations or associations which they don't have or aren't entitled to. Belief in superiority, inflating their self-esteem to match that of senior or important people with whom they associate or identify, insisting on having the "top" professionals or being affiliated with the "best" institutions, but criticising the same people who disappoint them are also common features of narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissists react angrily to criticism and when rejected, the narcissist will often denounce the profession which has rejected them (usually for lack of competence or misdeed) but simultaneously and paradoxically represent themselves as belonging to the profession they are vilifying. Fragile self-esteem, a need for constant attention and admiration, fishing for compliments (often with great charm), an expectation of superior entitlement, expecting others to defer to them, and a lack of sensitivity especially when others do not react in the expected manner, are also hallmarks of the disorder. Greed, expecting to receive before and above the needs of others, overworking those around them, and forming romantic (sic) or sexual relationships for the purpose of advancing their purpose or career, abusing special privileges and squandering extra resources also feature. People with narcissistic personality disorder also have difficulty recognizing the needs and feelings of others, and are dismissive, contemptuous and impatient when others share or discuss their concerns or problems. They are also oblivious to the hurtfulness of their behavior or remarks, show an emotional coldness and a lack of reciprocal interest, exhibit envy (especially when others are accorded recognition), have an arrogant, disdainful and patronizing attitude, and are quick to blame and criticize others when their needs and expectations are not met. |

There are a lot of people like that some do well at covering it up because they are good diplomats. Then they're some not so good at covering it up so you see their true colors right away. Either way one thing is for sure these people lack true self-confidence because they always have to talk about themselves when people are around them. Sometimes I wonder if these people talk about themselves in their sleep or when they are by themselves you know as in driving the car, washing the dishes, etc.

Narcissists don't hunt for partners who are already taken -- but it doesn't stop them. Narcissists aren't necessarily on the hunt for partners who are already in a relationship - but that doesn't appear to stand in their way, either, new research suggests. Source 6n.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Narcissists don't learn from their mistakes because they don't think they make any. When most people find that their actions have resulted in an undesirable outcome, they tend to rethink their decisions and ask, 'What should I have done differently to avoid this outcome?' When narcissists face the same situation, however, their refrain is, 'No one could have seen this coming!' In refusing to acknowledge that they have made a mistake, narcissists fail to learn from those mistakes, a recent study has found. Source 6u.

Narcissistic people would not support a democratic society since the only thing that they believe in is their self and their own belief which is contradictory to the essence of democracy.
