Mannen med världens tyngsta maktmandat kan vara en megalomanisk NPD-typ.

Jag känner inte dig Donald men du skrämmer mig med din arrogans och hybris.

Den här personlighetsdefinitionen kanske passar in på dig men jag vet inte; du kanske bara spelar en roll som du tror att världens mäktigaste man bör spela.

Jag tror inte att du är korkad; Jag tror att du är en slug och manipulerande NPD-person.

jag tror att du behövs just nu för att visa oss andra hur det kan bli med en maktgalen despot på världskungatronen.

A megalomaniac is a pathological egotist, that is, someone with a psychological disorder with symptoms like delusions of grandeur and an obsession with power. We also use the word megalomaniac more informally for people who behave as if they're convinced of their absolute power and greatness. Your garden-variety egomaniac might be self-centered and overconfident but he's a little softy compared with the megalomaniac who wants to control the world.

Beskrivning av en NPD-personlighet

Narcissistic personality disorder

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior that includes exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of empathy towards other people. People with NPD usually spend much time thinking about achieving power and success, or on their appearance. They often take advantage of the people around them. Such narcissitic behavior typically begins by early adulthood, and occurs across a broad range of situations.

The causes of narcissistic personality disorder are unknown. The condition of NPD is included in the cluster B personality disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). A diagnosis of NPD is made by a healthcare professional interviewing the person in question. The condition of NPD should be differentiated from mania and substance use disorder.[3]

Treatments for narcissistic personality disorder have not been well studied. Therapy is difficult, because people with narcissistic personality disorder usually do not consider themselves to have a mental health problem. About one percent of people are believed to be affected with NPD at some point in their lives. It occurs more often in men than in women, and affects young people more often than older people. The narcissistic personality was first described by the psychoanalyst Robert Waelder, in 1925; and the term narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) was coined by Heinz Kohut, in 1968.

Egotism is the drive to maintain and enhance favorable views of oneself, and generally features an inflated opinion of one's personal features and importance. It often includes intellectual, physical, social and other overestimations.

The egotist has an overwhelming sense of the centrality of the 'Me', that is to say of their personal qualities. Egotism means placing oneself at the centre of one's world with no concern for others, including those "loved" or considered as "close", in any other terms except those subjectively set by the egotist.
