The symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder are as follow:
- Has a grandiose sense of self-importance
- Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty or ideal love (megalomania)
- Believes they are "special" and can only be understood by, or should associate with, people (or institutions) who are also "special" or of high status
- Requires excessive admiration
- Has a sense of entitlement
- Is interpersonally exploitative
- Lacks empathy
- Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
- Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
What can be said of a life so empty and useless and selfishly lived that it is filled only by possessions and koi ponds? He cannot pass a mirror without pausing in admiration, cannot speak without bragging, and his character consists of equal parts vanity and self indulgence, held together by alcohol and hair gel.
Now he worships at the altar of a scared pool,
and when he sees his reflection, he is fulfilled.
Bob Dylan
