Hello, maliceubx, and welcome to Psych Central! Of course, we aren't experts here, so we can't diagnose, but it does sound like this fellow has some sort of personality problem. I can't say it's narcissistic personality disorder, though. Yet, part of his problem might be low self-esteem, and he might be compensating.

You say you have to see this fellow? Of course, you can choose to ignore him or spend as little time with him as possible. Or don't talk about issues that involve him. When he says something inappropriate, like a negative comment about women, then don't say anything about it and just change the subject.

Maybe when he says negative things about you, you could say something like, "I don't appreciate it when you talk about me like that." And, again, change the subject. "How's the weather supposed to be like tomorrow?"

What do your friends say? Do they tolerate him? How do they handle him?
