Lacking empathy is a profound disturbance to the narcissist's thinking (cognition) and feeling (affectivity). Even when very intelligent, narcissists can't reason well.

They don't understand the meaning of what people say and they don't grasp the meaning of the written word either -- because so much of the meaning of anything we say depends on context and affect, narcissists (lacking empathy and thus lacking both context and affect) hear only the words.

So true.

Glad you admit it.

From: http://malignantselflove.tripod.com/npdglance.html

Patients with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) are either
"classic" (meet five of the nine diagnostic criteria included in the
DSM), or they are "compensatory" (their narcissism compensates for
deep-set feelings of inferiority and lack of self-worth).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The 9 criteria can be found here: http://behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/narcissisticpd.htm

Is there anyone who posts here who might be a narcissist? If so, which
one, classic or compensatory? And why?

How many of the 9 criteria apply to this person? Which ones? And why?

Yes Ray, I'm asking about you. I haven't been in these groups for
years like you have so I have to ask others for their opinions of you.
You could save all of them the bother of answering and tell me
yourself.

Why do you go around threatening and harassing people?

Are you really sick like people say or do you just want attention?
