Narcissistic Personality Disorder

 They also feel that they can only be understood by people of high status and they often assign special, gifted, or unique qualities that are not factual to the people with whom they associate. They will insist that they have the best doctor, lawyer, etc., available, and will assign accomplishments to that individual to prove their validity. If an individual disappoints them, however, then they frequently will negate the credentials of those that disappoint them.

A narcissistic individual has a fragile sense of self. To strengthen their sense of self they depend on other's admiration and constant attention. They expect other's to covet their possessions and they are constantly seeking compliments.

A narcissistic injury occurs when someone defeats or critisizes the narcissistic individual. The narcissist may not show it outwardly, but they are haunted by criticisms and defeats. They begin to feel empty, degraded, and humiliated and are capable of retaliating with narcissistic rage. Their reactions constitute disdain or defiant attacks.
