Oh goody, I love this one...lets analyze me using the DSM... quote:
ORIGINAL: AAkasha NPD -- Narcissistic Personality Disorder: # Feels grandiose and self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents to the point of lying, demands to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements) I don't lie about my achievments. I don't really have to. I went from never having taken a dance lesson to world champion dancer in 5 years. I once tossed a hat perfectly onto this little hook 3 feet above me. I have done all sorts of amazing things in my life. And I certainly don't demand to be recognized as superior, though I certainly appreciate it when it happens. quote:
# Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion For the curious, I am a cerebral narcissist. (But that should have been obvious, a somatic narcissist enjoys singles bars and Gold's gym, not a message board.) And I don't think I am obsessed with these thoughts, but my definition of obsession might not match others. quote:
# Firmaly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions) This one isn't me at all. quote:
# Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation -or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious (narcissistic supply). This is the one that so obviously fits. For me, I like to get both, and often do, as witnessed by this thread. quote:
# Feels entitled. Expects unreasonable or special and favourable priority treatment. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or her expectations Nope...doesn't fit me at all. quote:
# Is "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends But I do it in a nice way...*laughing* quote:
# Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with or acknowledge the feelings and needs of others Yeah, this one is odd. I really don't have that empathy thing. quote:
# Constantly envious of others or believes that they feel the same about him or her This one doesn't fit at all. quote:
# Arrogant, haughty behaviours or attitudes coupled with rage when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted. I am pretty arrogant...though I feel I have earned some of that. I certainly don't fly into a rage when conftradicted or confronted, as evidenced by this thread. In fact, I often provoke confrontation and contradiction because I enjoy debating so much. Taggard
