Narcissistic

Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by self-centeredness. Like histrionic disorder, people with this disorder seek attention and praise. They exaggerate their achievements, expecting others to recongize them as being superior. They tend to be choosy about picking friends, since they believe that not just anyone is worthy of being their friend. Narcissists tend to make good first impressions, yet have difficulty maintaining long-lasting relationships. They are generally uninterested in the feelings of others and may take advantage of them.

Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
•Requires excessive praise and admiration
•Takes advantage of others
•Grandiose sense of self-importance
•Lack of empathy
•Lying, to self and others
•Obsessed with fantasies of fame, power, or beauty

Narcissism is most often found in men and is often diagnosed with other mental disorders.
