The hallmark of narcissistic personality disorder is an apparent absorption with yourself (narcissism). Because this is a personality disorder, the symptoms are always present to some degree.

Symptoms include:

Love of self/great self-interest
Preoccupation with success and power
Attention seeking
Boasting or bragging about one’s own achievements often
Exaggeration of abilities and achievements
Having unrealistic goals
Fantasies of success beyond what is likely or possible
Hypersensitivity to possible slights and insults from others (coupled with what could be an aggressive or angry response)
Arrogant behavior
Belief in one’s own uniqueness/entitlement to special treatment
Difficulty understanding another’s emotions or perspective
“These symptoms could easily be confused with similar patterns that can emerge during manic phases of bipolar disorder,” explains Peterson.
