The hallmark of narcissistic personality disorder is grandiosity. The narcissist harbors a strong sense of entitlement, self-aggrandizing fantasies, and a craving for admiration.
In severe cases, he/she may be envious, lacking in empathy, and ready to exploit others in the pursuit of her lofty ambitions.
Although he/she can be charismatic and charming, she more often seems self-absorbed, controlling, and insensitive. If she feels slighted or ridiculed, she might be provoked into a fit of destructive rage and revenge seeking.
Such a paroxysmal reaction is sometimes called ‘narcissistic rage’ and can have disastrous consequences for all those involved, including the narcissist herself.
Contrary to popular belief, narcissists can change. They cannot change or heal their narcissism, but they can (and do) change their behavior. ... The problem is that the narcissist is generally unwilling to change. Changing a behavior means that the narcissist must admit that their behavior was wrong. Just a thought.
