    NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER (NPD)

    General Characters

    The term narcissism has its roots in Greek mythology, Narcissus, according to myth, was so attracted by her beauty as reflected in the water to fall into it and drown, according to another version of the myth, he was consumed by grief at not being able to reach his beloved reflection in the water, until he died, and instead of his body from his blood a flower was born, which was called Narcissus. The essential feature of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a picture of the trend to superiority, need for admiration, and lack of sensitivity to others. Individuals with narcissistic disorder have, for most of the time, a high self-regard. They routinely exaggerate their skills, often appearing arrogant. They think they're special, superior, have to be satisfied in every request and entitled to special treatment. Expect that others recognize their status as special people and, in the event that this happens, they idealize. Conversely, if the others are questioning their quality react with anger, being incapable of questioning and accept criticism. Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder typically have difficulty recognizing that others have desires, feelings and needs. They believe that their needs come before all things, and that their way of seeing things is the only right one worldwide, showing indifference from the point of view of others and inability to catch him. So, for example, individuals with narcissistic disorder can expect to avoid queuing and being served immediately committed and waiters. In any case, even if the claim is over so annoyed when they find themselves having to meet the expectations, shared rules, jealous of not having their needs met immediately. Interpersonal relations are therefore typically compromised because of problems arising from excessive demands, the need for admiration, and the relative disregard for the feelings of others. Narcissistic individuals, then, are often envious of others or believes that others are envious of them. They tend to see others in key competitive and strive to establish and maintain a position of supremacy. Very often, in the high positions of any hierarchy (corporate, institutional, etc..), We find people with narcissistic personality, as their characteristics are functional in the competition at work. They get excellent results without realizing how many people do the costs of their attitudes or remain injured by them. Interpersonal relationships are failing. Choose partners generally weak and submissive, who admire them and make them feel important. After a while 'time, however, they are bored, they feel dissatisfied and go in search of new flirt, designed to stimulate them again, or try to turn / your partner and perverted it to their liking. Even in love live with a constant sense of competition and the taste that draw from the report, chiefly that of the conquest of the prey. Live sexual relations with a strong performance anxiety, which sometimes makes them a victim of sexual dysfunction, which for them are a tragedy. In the rare cases when they enter into a relationship with a person at their level, which does not admire them, to which they are to stick really suffer from high anxiety of abandonment and, in the case of a rupture, sink into depression . Same fate befalls them in case they get heavy failures at work or losing a major competition. In any case, narcissists, even when they feel they have everything they want (success, love, money, etc.). Constantly feel unsatisfied and go through stages of depression which can not give an explanation.

    The main feature of the narcissistic personality disorder consists in the tendency to react defensively when the person feels a wound to its value. In response it is easy for people to adopt attitudes haughty, arrogant, scorn others and finds them the cause of his problems. Individuals who have this disorder believe they are special and unique people. They expect to receive approval and praise for their superior quality, being shocked when they do not get the recognition they think they deserve and often presenting the tendency to ruminate about the failure on the part of the other. Together with this, we find in them the tendency to react to criticism experiencing anger on the one hand, the other shame. By virtue of the personal value that believe they have, these people assume they have to attend and can be understood only by special people, prestigious or high social or intellectual, from the consideration that their needs are beyond the understanding and the competence of ordinary people. Requires excessive admiration from the environment. Have the expectation that everything is due to them and that, as
