Understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Last updated by renasherwood on March 17, 2011
People suffering from narcissistic personality disorder have an over-inflated sense of their own importance. They often have no empathy for others and constantly seek to be admired.
Narcissistic personality disorder is named after the Greek myth of Narcissus, a young man fatally in love with his reflection. This is also known as the "God complex." TheDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition or DSM-IV classifies this as a Cluster B personality disorder.

Cluster B Personality Disorders

There are three types of personality disorders, according to the DSM-IV: A, B and C. They are called “clusters” because the symptoms tend to come together. Other Cluster B personality disorders include borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder.
All of these disorders have two characteristics in common. The first is that the symptoms are so dramatic that they are impossible to miss. The second is that the person acts in a very erratic manner.

Love of Self

According to Greek myth, Narcissus was an incredibly handsome young man who ignored the advances of all women and nymphs. He fell in love with his reflection and was so entranced with it that he did nothing else except stare. Eventually, he died of starvation and exposure.
Someone with narcissistic personality disorder places themselves before everything to ludicrous and even dangerous extremes. They brag continually, they boast about how much better they are than others and they are over-confident in their abilities. They may even believe that they are immortal or have been placed on Earth in order to fulfill a Divine mission — or, at least, that's what they tell others.
People with narcissistic personality disorder will often feel as if they do not need any sort of medical help. On the contrary, they believe they are perfectly fine and that it’s everybody else who needs help. However, this braggadocio tends to be on the surface. Deep down they really feel insecure.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder Symptoms

A person with narcissistic personality disorder brags about their achievements, even if in reality those achievements are not all that remarkable. However brash and arrogant they appear, they can be easily offended. These 'offenses' may not actually exist except in the mind of the NPD person, but they can spark tirades and even violent outbursts.
People with narcissistic personality disorder feel that they are entitled to special treatment and admiration because they are 'better' than other people. They may break laws because they feel that laws for “normal people” do not apply to them. Being treated like just another person can be highly insulting to them.
They will argue a lot because they do not understand why anyone would disagree with them because they 'know' they are so much better than anyone else. If they are smarter than everybody then it is obvious to them that their ideas are better than all others. Anyone who disagrees must be doing so out of jealousy or stupidity.
THIS SHOULD REMIND YOU OF SOMEONE. JUST SCRATCHING THE SURFACE, YET ALREADY IT IDENTIFIES SOMEONE WE'RE ALL AFFECTED BY NEGATIVELY.  NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER IS ONE OF DEGREES, AND THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL IN THIS WORLD. IT IS A DEADLY DISEASE OF THE MIND.  IT DOESN'T TAKE A PROFESSIONAL TO CONNECT THE DOTS AND SEE THESE SYMPTOMS AND DESCRIPTIONS CLEARLY IN BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

The Narcissist Can Have a Diabolical Core

by Tigress Luv on Sep.11, 2010, under Narcissistic Personality Disorder
From Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde, the frightening change that occurs in the narcissist is alarming. It’s even more alarming when you see him or her so easily able to masquerade in public as such a good person. It takes nothing for this person to turn even your own life-long friends, children and family against you.
His intent is to devalue you and ruin you. Only then can he glory in his reigning power over ‘The People’. His methods are shockingly diabolical, and will test the very threads of your sanity. The Narcissist’s core is cunning, vile, heinous, and cabalistic. He must protect his ‘false identity’ with his very life; and this may mean taking out yours.
For more help in dealing with the narcissist read The Counterfeit Heart: Living with, loving and leaving the narcissist.

    Wow, you just said the same grase I said. Sleeping the enemy. I am currently divorcing a full blown N. The hardest thing has been to witness his lack of remorse, sense of loss during separation. His cruelty measures up to a criminal. he also has antisocial personality issues.
    He drained me slowly and poisned my soul. He covers up with his sickening obessesive compulsive bible reading, but in his hidden world he is a pornography addict and saddistic behavior. He is always angry and easily irriated. Everyone has to always be ready toserve him.
    life revolves around him. Everyone is not good enough for him. He has a mom that supports his NPD. She is an enabler and sick woman too. She calls him perfect.

    I dated and was engaged to a narcissist guy who verbally abused me every chance he got in front of family, my children and friends and blamed me for all of his shortcomings and havenots. He would want to have sex as his way of showing he was sorry for the verbal attack. Everything was always about him, what an I do for him and never about me! I graduated from college after working on my degree for 8 years, raising two teenagers and working full time and he told me the morning of my graduation that he was not going to make because he was upset about something I said to him the day before. I still have no clue what that was. I broke up with him that day and set myself free so I could recover and heal from such a brutal relationship that took over my house, mind, body and soul. He walked away as if it was no big deal as if I never existed, that is the painful part to realize the person that you loved never ever truly loved you or had your back. Its like sleeping with the enemy. Now I’m on the road to recovery. Thank God :)

      Having gone thru a 3 year relationship with a narcisstic man before…who tried to kill me when i ended it…I have developed an insight and it does not take me long to see narcisstic traits in someone.
      I just ended a two month relationship with a even more sadistic narcissist than the first.My first red flag…he laughed after we had just had all night sex…to test my intiution…I said to him..”you can be a better man”…instantly he began the silent treatment.
      Then he began to tell me I was crazy-psycho-called me a loon.I texted him and told him “You are a Narcissist and you are TOXIC WASTE for me”…he has never replied.There are ways to find out early in a relationship if you have a narcissist on your doorstep or not…I think it is sad that more woman are not educated about narcissists and sociapaths…think of how much it wouldve saved me from my first encounter.Im educating my children and know that it will save them much heartache and loss.

        Good for you EAH. My ex-N also tried to kill me when he knew THIS time I was REALLY ending it. We had lots of breaking up and getting back together, and it was all drama, but when I was calm and pragmatic about it, he knew the passion was gone so he tapped into his by snapping and almost smothering me to death. If you’re with one of these text book pathological personalities, you’re in a world of destruction to your heart, soul, and psychological well being. The after effect can leave you with what people who come back from literally fighting wars suffer from, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Your psychological health will be compromised, no question, if you remain with a Narcissist. The longer you put off the inevitable ending, the more damage, and the more pathological the Narcissist the more dangerous and harrowing the experience and the more extreme and harder to over come psychologically. The “relationship” will end, that’s a fact. The sooner you do it, the better, and you must cut off all contact and do what you can to protect yourself from their wrath. They are not capable of love, period. They can NOT feel empathy, which is heinously dangerous as inflicting serious pain, emotional or physical, invokes no remorse or any real difficulty with knowing they hurt you or anyone so deeply. The lie like they breathe and will stop at nothing to get what they want. These people are socio even psychopathic by nature. All murderers and serial killers are Narcissistic, but not all Narcissists are murderers and serial killers. They murder your psyche and your soul, and living through it can make you wish you were dead, but the rage inside will always be unleashed on you, no matter what you do. You’ll be guilty and worth the punishment in their mind by being the one who got duped into falling for their facade, their false self they presented and lured you in with. They’ll devalue you and deride you purely because they have so much self hatred that they can’t respect or care for anyone who could be swept away by someone as vile as themselves. They over compensate with arrogance and by believing their admirers that they’re superior to all others, but subconsciously they know they’re fakes, fraudulently presenting an image to the outside world. Get close and get destroyed. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is the root of all that’s evil in this world. There are cultures that breed them from the start. Most are misogynists, men and even some women. They can be that friend always has you feeling put down and invalidated after spending time with them, they can be that parent that made you vulnerable to repeating patterns with NPD’s later in life, compromising your happiness, ability to have mutual and healthy relationships, and they can also be the one that duped an entire country into electing them into office all based on a facade, deception, and flat out lies. Once they’re in, they show who they really are and aren’t, and the destruction begins. God Bless you all who have had to live through the one on one “love” relationship with one, and God Bless all of us who are forced to live under the tyrannical regime by the classic Malignant Narcissist in office, the fraud that is “The President” of the United States.
