In this type, a person has an overly high feeling of their own importance. There are many signs of this disorder like thinking you are better than those around you, obsessed with fantasies of power, success and good looks, taking advantage of other people, difficulty in maintaining relationships, fragile self esteem, over sensitive etc.narcissistic personality disorderhttp://www.disorderscentral.com/narcissistic-personality-disorder.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414162875219930535.post-75855697978500715232009-11-28T08:44:36.877-08:002009-11-28T08:44:36.877-08:00EXCELLENT ARTICLE!

I spent 13 years with a "her" whose behaviour, demeanour and attitudes are reflected extremely accurately in your article.She was never diagnosed (and probably never will be) with a personality disorder chiefly because on the three occasions she was referred for counselling (including once by her own doctor) she either did not attend or went to the first appointment and then refused any further involvement on the grounds that the counsellor did not know what he/she was talking about. There is a great deal of gender bias in all discussions of mental health issues but especially in the case of NPD where I have NEVER seen the evidence of the oft quoted "75% of narcissists are men." My own belief is that the vast majority of narcissists are women (its all a matter of degree after all) but because men are so used to narcissistic traits in ALL women the behaviour is tolerated much more by husbands/boyfriends who are simply more used to this behaviour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414162875219930535.post-76383313926823144142009-11-12T00:52:51.115-08:002009-11-12T00:52:51.115-08:00at the end you say "Forget the guilt.
