Your narcissiam is getting the best of your again Brad.

Narcissistic behavior is the outcome of a personality disorder known as narcissistic personality disorder. It is characterized by a distorted self-image, intense emotions, intense love for self and an exaggerated sense of superiority. These behavior characteristics are actually used as defense mechanisms by a narcissist, to conceal his deep sense of insecurity and low self-esteem.

Narcissism is defined as intense admiration or affection for self.

The causes for narcissistic personality disorder can be traced back to the childhood of the person suffering from the disorder. By the onset of early adulthood, the trauma experienced in childhood engulfs the mind of the individual. Excessive pampering, parents pressurizing the child to do something in order to enhance their own self esteem, neglect by the parents or abuse by elders can eventually trigger narcissistic personality disorder.

A person suffering from narcissistic personality disorder may take to drug abuse and alcoholism as a means of coping with their difficulties. This disorder hampers the development of healthy relationships between this person and other members of his family and society.
