  • Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis for an individual who presents a pattern of grandiosity, exhibits a sense of entitlement, excessively seeks admiration, and lacks empathy. The narcissistic injury to the self occurs at an early age and stimulates the construction of a "defensive self" or "false self" that demands attention. Historical examples include American Civil War and Indian Wars U.S. Army Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman. Columnist Alex Pareene has noted the absurdity of the internet hardman.

abstract
  • Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis for an individual who presents a pattern of grandiosity, exhibits a sense of entitlement, excessively seeks admiration, and lacks empathy. The narcissistic injury to the self occurs at an early age and stimulates the construction of a "defensive self" or "false self" that demands attention. Historical examples include American Civil War and Indian Wars U.S. Army Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman. According to Stanford University psychiatrist Elias Aboujaoud the anonymity of many on-line exchanges may elicit or exacerbate these and other unhealthy personality traits. Columnist Alex Pareene has noted the absurdity of the internet hardman.
