No No! It's ME!
Not YOU!
Another way of looking at it:
Although just about any person can possess certain narcissistic
tendencies, the disorder can't technically be diagnosed until five out
of nine criteria are met:
* A grandiose sense of self-importance unsupported by reality;
* A belief that s/he is special and unique and can only be understood
by other 'special' people;
* A preoccupation with fantasies of extraordinary success, wealth,
power, brilliance, beauty or ideal love;
* An intense, excessive need for admiration;
* A sense of entitlement;
* A frequent tendency to exploit interpersonal relationships without
guilt or remorse, including advantageous behavior to satisfy his/her
own end goals;
* A lack of empathy;
* An envy of others, or the perception that s/he is the object of
others' envy;
* Regular displays of arrogant behavior or attitude.
But enough about me... Let's talk about.... me.
