General Behaviors of NPD

Mental Health Professionals have a specific set of behaviors that they use to diagnose NPD.
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, 1994

We have taken their list, and added personal experiences to them, to give our readers a realistic view of Narcissists (Narcs for short.)

Our greatest online Resource is:
Narcissitic PersonalityDisorder

The insights at this site have helped us to further develop our list of NPD Behaviors; from there we have developed strategies for coping and living with Narcs.

Click on each Behavior for descriptions, and examples of these behaviors.

Fantasies of Success, Power, Brilliance
