There is something seriously wrong with this self-congratulatory narcissist.
The narcissistic type cannot tolerate any serious criticism of his qualities, or interference in his ambition to attain the limelight.
He is self-admiring.
He has great ambitions with regard to future accomplishments, but does not recognize his limitations.
His eyes are set more toward himself and toward the limelight of recognition to be attained in the future than toward the actual tasks with which he must deal.
He requires disciples and other followers to rally around him for the cause.
He is extremely vulnerable to flattery and may seek adulation.
His estimation of others varies in direct proportion to the reassurance, deference and outright flattery that they give him.
