[Atypical_Disaster]

When you put "Goddess" as your member title on Psych Central and you're actually quite serious about it.

When your ego gets stroked you feel on top of the world.

When you take any kind of criticism as the worst kind of personal attack and lash out accordingly and the person that criticized you is left thinking, "wow, what the hell." and is feeling extremely upset, but you don't care. They had it coming for having the audacity to question your flawlessness.

When your sense of entitlement is so strong that you're honestly clueless as to why people aren't at your beck and call 24/7.

When you hear that you "exploit" people and you think, "You call it 'exploitation', I call it getting what I want."

When you constantly intimidate anyone and everyone you encounter.

When you are called "heartless" frequently because of your blatant lack of empathy.

When you have a long list of admirers, and an equally long list of people who despise you.

When you get diagnosed with NPD, instead of being horrified, you think, "well that explains a lot... oh well."

When your ex's stalk you even though they hate you, because they're still obsessing about you and it's not even your ego talking, either.

When you can shatter someone else's self-esteem without a second thought.

When you don't care that you don't care.

When you discard someone as a source of "supply" and move on so fast that it shatters your ex source emotionally even more than they already were.

When you are perfectly capable of acting kind and generous, when it's a way for you to get something you want.

When you exude so much self-confidence that you get people asking you, "what's your secret?"

When you are shamelessly self-centered.

When you think absolutely everything is about you and are shocked when you find out something isn't.

When you don't just "think" you are superior, you KNOW you are superior.

Feel free to add on.

Number 1 reason that makes you a narcissist:
Read through the last post and then when the people who all have these traits follow that top narcissist through thick and thin (that would be me) then you are supreme narcissist. Hahahahaha

Like it!!!

Know it!!!

When you take any kind of criticism as the worst kind of personal attack and lash out accordingly and the person that criticized you is left thinking, "wow, what the hell." and is feeling extremely upset, but you don't care. They had it coming for having the audacity to question your flawlessness.

Positive character trait??

When your sense of entitlement is so strong that you're honestly clueless as to why people aren't at your beck and call 24/7.

Their not??

When you hear that you "exploit" people and you think, "You call it 'exploitation', I call it getting what I want."

So many definitions... Whose to say which is the correct one

When you constantly intimidate anyone and everyone you encounter.

Another positive character trait

When you are called "heartless" frequently because of your blatant lack of empathy.

Just because I can't understand someone else makes me heartless??? Oh well

When your ex's stalk you even though they hate you, because they're still obsessing about you and it's not even your ego talking, either.

They can never get enough. Another positive character trait... "Special people"

When you can shatter someone else's self-esteem without a second thought.

And smile while doing it

When you don't care that you don't care.

When you discard someone as a source of "supply" and move on so fast that it shatters your ex source emotionally even more than they already were.

Why me????? What did I do???? I always did everything for you!!!!

When you are perfectly capable of acting kind and generous, when it's a way for you to get something you want.

How good are we???!!!

When you exude so much self-confidence that you get people asking you, "what's your secret?"

When you are shamelessly self-centered.

Is there really shame in this?

Bullseye

Feel free to add on.

Great work atypical as always your words enhance my days!!

I knew you'd understand my post Underground.

You mean all the others here don't??? What does that tell you??? What we've been saying all along. Make sure you read my first post here though it's classic!!!

I just literally laughed out loud. Hahahahahahaha!

Exactly.

You know your a narcissist when:
You continually fall in love........... With yourself over and over again

[Atypical_Disaster]

You know you're a narcissist when you're called an arrogant asshole several times a week.

Screwed up upbringing!!!

Left to figure out everything on your own as a young boy.
No love shown.
No lessons taught. Only stories told!!

[Atypical_Disaster]

When someone for some godforsaken reason despises you outright upon meeting you, and you kind of die a little inside.

We are getting deep!!!!!!

[Gingy01]

Good first post! I see myself doing a lot of them lol.

You know you're a narcissist when you threaten someone to do something for you and observers called you entitled. And for the life of you, you can't see how this is entitlement. I mean I threatened you. If I was entitled I would just expect you to do it.

You know you're a narcissist someone insults you/or does something ****** and you nod your head and laugh. But the next time you see their materials (preferably expensive) left unattended you throw them in the garbage

Actually if anyone gets in your way you instantly wish death upon them. Horrible disease, accident, suicide, whatever.

When you view your sibling/s as money draining entities and wish they had died in the womb but you'll take them dying before your parents die so you get 100% of the inheritance.

When someone is crying/distress/pain and you can't help but laugh at them and then they get mad and tell you "well I see how much you care about me. Thanks" If they wake you up to deal with any of the 3 you call them profane names.

[Teacake]

What if you really are superior and you know it?

[Teacake]

When new acquaintances remember the names you drop before they remember your own.

When you announce to an ex girlfriend that you are lifting the two year social sanctions against her and she can't believe its been two years and laughs when she realises you were snubbing her intentionally and expected her to notice but she didn't. She just thought you had a life.

When you announce your wedding plans by saying, "Because I'm forty and I'm tired of being assuming I'm gay.". Then you say defensively, "and I don't think its a mistake".

And when everyone knows she married you for security and sincerely hope she enjoys your money. Because no one else needed it so desperately.

Or you end up supporting an ex-partner for a decade because its the closest thing you can have to a relationship with a woman. It gives your life meaning and purpose.

[Gingy01]

I think superior is relative to the situation. If I'm clearly the smartest person in the room - I got that going for me.
But other rooms I'm not the smartest and I acknowledge that.
Some rooms I'm the prettiest - some I'm not.

I guess a normal person wouldn't think about the relevance of superiority in any way.

When you don't have to read others post's, just respond cause you know whatever you write is better and everyone is waiting for just you to write!!!

I may not truly have the disorder. But, I've been there.

when you get very angry having posts removed and feel as if it is a personal attack!!!!!!!

Ditto...

[shakespeare47]

I'm BPD with some narcissistic traits... how about when you meet a new group of potential friends, and you're afraid that you're going to have them all hating you within a month or 2.. like you've done before on several occasions with other groups of potential friends.

Better yet you know you are when you really don't care if your friends with them or not. Because of our traits they will more than likely be intrigued by us, we will get bored and then move on. So the cycle continues!!

[shakespeare47]

Yeah, I've come up with all kinds of reasons to hate them for rejecting me... but, I have to admit, somewhere down there, there is someone who wants to know there are some people that accept me, and knows that he has some issues that cause problems.

[shakespeare47]

How about when you realize that you don't have to respond to angry responses from others, because you know they are beneath you. If they were smart enough to figure out what is really going on, then you'd take the time to consider them. But, you also know that's unlikely to happen.

[shakespeare47]

How about when you act like everything is about you. You say and do whatever you want, without regard to other people's feelings. Then people around you start to make it painful for you to continue. So, you decide you should probably change, because you don't really like that pain. And you start to realize that other people actually care that they are causing other people pain, and that realization bothers you.

But, all too soon, you forget all this, get involved with other people, and then that pattern starts all over again.
