DSM Criteria - Narcissistic Personality Disorder

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:


[1] has a grandiose sense of self-importance

"Seldom do I ever get any negative responses and we are starting to average over a hundred comments per entry."

"At this forum I mentioned, no one has been able to refute me. They can insult me and slander me but they can’t alter the truth of what I say. I have no need to post my work there. I receive more traffic at this blog than that entire forum. People from all over the world come to this blog and they know that the things I am saying here in this essay and the things I have said in the past are true."

[2] is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

"No doubt as my star continues to rise… as I have been told it is going to… "

[3] believes that he or she is "special" and unique

"I post at that forum because they need to hear what I say."

"To be called anti-Semitic in these times amounts to a badge of honor for so few of us dare to speak the truth and question the lies."


[4] requires excessive admiration

"over a hundred comments per entry"

"People from all over the world come to this blog..."


[5] has a sense of entitlement
[6] is interpersonally exploitative
[7] lacks empathy

Too much to quote.

[8] is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

"I will be the object of focused opprobrium and find my words manipulated into something other than what they said and intend."

"At this forum I mentioned, no one has been able to refute me. They can insult me and slander me but they can’t alter the truth of what I say."
