It is just us chickens, here.....discussing the various aspects of narcissism in a general discussion kind of way. I don't believe that anyone is labeling anyone as Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Ain't no harm meant, I don't believe.

That's the point Lexie
No drugs, no booze problem... No low self esteem issues.
Just a massive ego / overload of self esteem. Narcissism.
He is a self confessed and well renowned control freak and again a self confessed and well renowned tantrum thrower when people disagree with or disobey his way of doing things.
He doesn't have to be diagnosed... Its as obvious as the fake boobs all his girlfriends have.

Thank you, shutterbug, very much for sharing something you found helpful.
If, however, it continues to devolve into personal attacks of public figures, it will have to be closed--and I really don't want that to happen.
Back to the original topic, please.

I think what bothers me the most about this topic is the lack of true understanding of what NPD is. It has become every person's favorite diagnosis for every self absorbed creep without fully understanding it. Everybody can and at times is selfish and self absorbed. The true narcissist always is. They are incapable of intimate relationships, they see others only as tools to serve their self absorbed needs. It is awful. My mother shows very strong narcissistic tendencies. She can't engage in conversations unless she can make it about herself, her reactions, her feelings. She will actually walk away in the middle of a sentence. My sister's and I are her daughter's, grandkids are her grandkids, etc. We aren't referred to by name. We are objects of ownership and only matter in what we do for her or how we take care of her. When she talks to me about my sister's I have to guess which one she is talking about because she doesn't use names.

As far as I can tell he was just reading some basic fact. Although I will admit I don't know much about NPD, it didn't seem like he was saying anything overly controversial. Was he? I don't really see that he was doing a lot of "coaching" so maybe he should change his title to "Life Reader", but he seemed to be imparting some useful info. And if his lovely pecks kept a few needful people watching then I say no harm no foul.
