A-Z through the DSM IVr
N: Narcissistic personality disorder
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
-Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
-Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
-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)
-Requires excessive admiration
-Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
-Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
-Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
-Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
-Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
Holy moly...for the longest time I thought there was NO way this was going to work....but after four hours of editing and playing around I totally made this work and I'm SUPER proud of this! Holy damn...haha
So obviously I don't blog much here anymore so I thought for ANYONE who was interested in things going on in my life/my thoughts/my opinions I'd let you guys know where to find my blog...the only down side is you have to get a livejournal account to read it...it's really just to keep my privacy because I post a LOT of personal issues there that I don't really want certain people to see lol but I talk a lot about some of these things on flickr so I figured I'd extend the invitation.
