Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem,
it's not the same.
Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence and self-esteem into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal.
In contrast, people who have healthy confidence and self-esteem don't value themselves more than they value others.
When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as
conceited,
boastful or
pretentious. (
that is me )
You often monopolize conversations. -
No! You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior.
Maybe !:D You may have a sense of entitlement.
Yes And when you don't receive the special treatment to which you feel entitled, you may become very impatient or angry.
Yep !:eek: You may also seek out others you think have the same special talents, power and qualities — people you see as equals.
maybe !:cool: You may insist on having "the best" of everything —
NO ! 
the best car,-
Not really !:D athletic club-
NO!, medical care or social circles, for instance.
YEs ,
YES !!!!!!!!!!!:D
But underneath all this grandiosity often lies a very fragile self-esteem. You have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have a sense of secret shame and humiliation.
And in order to make yourself feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and efforts to belittle the other person to make yourself appear better. Now doesn't that sound like me ??????????? , If you all remember i came from the " Dark Side " !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cardinal Joe
