Narcissistic personality disorder - Mayo Clinic
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
------------------------------------------
Oh my God. Look at that.
Inflated sense of their own importance ----------------I'm the ONLY one who can fix things.
Inflated sense of their own importance----------------I'm admired. I get the highest ratings.
Lack of empathy for others:
Their son was violently killed, but I've also sacrificed. I created jobs.
I don't pay people because I think it's good business.
vulnerable to the slightest criticism --------------What else can you say?
