Everything You Need to Know about Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Abuse - click on this link: http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/faq1.html

Three traits conspire to render the narcissist a failure and a loser: his sense of entitlement, his haughtiness and innate conviction of his own superiority, and his aversion to routine. The narcissist's sense of entitlement encourages his indolence. He firmly believes that he should be spoon-fed and that accomplishments and honors should be handed to him on a silver platter, without any commensurate effort on his part. His mere existence justifies such exceptional treatment. Many narcissists are under-qualified and lack skills because they can't be bothered with the minutia of obtaining an academic degree, professional training, or exams. The narcissist's arrogance and belief that he is superior to others, whom he typically holds in contempt - in other words: the narcissist's grandiose fantasies - hamper his ability to function in society. The cumulative outcomes of this social dysfunction gradually transform him into a recluse and an outcast. He is shunned by colleagues, employers, neighbors, erstwhile friends, and, finally, even by long-suffering family members who tire of his tirades and rants.

  • I know a dude who matchs this description, he thinks he is superior and smarter than everyone else but he constantly proves himself to be a moron and a fucking meat head, his wife will leave him when the youngest kid turns 18 because he is a compulsive lying piece of shit.

  • Whoagh ........ talk about a good ass kicking ! Does this mean that a series of failures and trouble concentrating constitues narcissistic traits ? The only thing I have going for me that convinces me there is still hope is my bottomless well of empathy for others. This video clip is a must for anyone toiling with the constant challenges of life. Thank you for the wake up call and the food for thought !!!

  • Wow, again Sam, one of your best. Thinking of the two narcissists that I've encountered, both propped up by their families, unemployed and unemployable because they don't have the discipline or desire for hard work, to gain degrees, to submit to an employer's requirements. They just "get along", barely getting by, yet either would tell you that they're brilliant, that their talents aren't appreciated in the corporate world. LOL

  • and how to get rid of those traits if they're rooted deep inside? particularly in case of total resentment towards routine. how to stop being deluded if you're deluded? who to check with?? do you have answers?

  • @Omgsome1just look up the "spot the twat" video here - that's the alleged narcissist. Then you'll see what I mean. He's like an archetypal case for the psychologists.

  • @avidalocan lmao thats not narciccism that aspergercism...

  • This sounds exactly like my father. As time goes by he becomes more reclusive, withdrawn and bitter. He drinks and his personality is so different than he was when younger. He idolized Frank Lloyd Wright, a narcissist. He and mom always talked (obsessed) about being rich and famous. I think the reality has sunk in tht this won't happen. They tried putting the pressure on me to be that way too..I'm not either and have no problem wih it. It's just sad to watch him..and mom..deteriorate.

  • Britannica Concise Encyclopedia: narcissism

    Sigmund Freud : narcissism is a normal stage in children's development, but it is considered a disorder when it occurs after puberty.

    some disagree in it's incurability. some books written on the subject, agree that life crisisees along with narcisist's will to change, sum up improvment until normal functioning. although in some cases it relapses and even worsen.

  • I am a narcissist and I know I suck. Hard.
