What do I look for so I can avoid becoming personally involved with someone who has NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder)?
According to the DSM-5 Manual, a Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by overtly emotional and unpredictable behavior, a pattern of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. Those with a diagnosis of NPD typically exhibit many of the following symptoms:
Exaggerate
their achievements
Expectations
to be recognized as superior
Need continual admiration from others
Grandiosity with expectations of superior
treatment from others
Fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness,
etc.
A self-perception of being unique, superior,
and associated with high-status people and institutions
Sense of entitlement to special treatment
Expect other to acquiesce to them or be
obedient to their wishes
Exploitative of others to achieve personal
gain
Unwilling to empathize with feelings, wishes,
and needs of others
Intensely envious of others
Tend to believe that others equally envious of
them
