Narcissistic Personality Disorder

SYMPTOMS
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 (e.g., exaggerates
achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without
commensurate achievements)

(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power,
brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

(3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be
understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status
people (or institutions)

(4) requires excessive admiration

(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of
especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her
expectations

(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to
achieve his or her own ends

(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the
feelings and needs of others

(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of
him or her

(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

A follow-up said that the list described pretty much any Leo.

The original poster, Baniz Daymov here, then said that it could be said
to describe SubGenii, except that they're RIGHT.

Eh. Not really. I'm just better than most miserable Pinks, that's all.

Does hot mutual orgasm and passionate kissing count? I'm pretty preoccupied
with fantasies of that.

I just know that there are only a few special people on this world capable
of understanding me...and THAT makes them better than everyone else.

> (4) requires excessive admiration

No, I never expect it from the crushing majority of human stinkbeasts, but
when I get it, you can't get rid of me. Ever. Forget it.

Oh, and I'm also entitled to being treated like a sentient and an equal with
positive potential, by all born-again christians, jews, muslims, and
everyone else whose beliefs I do not share. Is that entitlement too? Am I
mentally ill for unreasonably wanting that?

I already know they'll take the opportunity to proselytise their superiority
when I try to treat them with decency, so why bother? Expecting them to
FAIL my expectations EVERY SINGLE TIME must be the healthy thing to do, I
suppose.

Love is exploitation: I am validating another human being for the purpose of
recieving their validation and resources at a later date when I will need
them. Nothing is more evil than THAT!

Are they whining? Do they smell funny and bark at people? Do they feel bad
and guilty about jerking off in women's underwear? I will make copious fun
of them, never fear. It's not a lack of empathy, it's negative empathy.

Wait, then if I had NPD, and a lot of other people had NPD, and I believed
that they were envious of me, then I would be RIGHT, right? Thus backing up
my opinion with fact and making me sane, not having NPD?

> (9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

Drink! Arse! Feck! Gobshite!

heh

Boy, that latent Yeti DNA floating around in the majority of humans can
surface as some really fucked up shit when they don't properly switch it on
with 'frop and Slack.

There's a very large difference in the application for SubGenii, though.
Pinks with NPD are really boring, miserable, intolerable people. Bobbies
run a close second. But with Advanced Ubersentients, it becomes twisted
into something beautiful and wrong and socially acceptable. It however
requires disappearing and not letting anyone know you have NPD until you
have achieved something amazing and are therefore worthy of being a freak.
Otherwise they will get you and medicate you before you can accomplish
something.

There's no telling what I could've accomplished if the whole world
hadn't fought me at every turn.

It's weird, but now it seems to describe just about everybody.

Chilling.
