PTypes personality types proposes Compensatory Narcissistic Personality Disorder as a pervasive pattern of unstable, "overtly narcissistic behaviors [that] derive from an underlying sense of insecurity and weakness rather than from genuine feelings of self-confidence and high self-esteem" (Millon), beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by ten (or more) of the following:
* seeks to create an illusion of superiority and to build up an image of high self-worth (Millon);
* has disturbances in the capacity for empathy (Forman);
* strives for recognition and prestige to compensate for the lack of a feeling of self-worth;
* has persistent aspirations for glory and status (Millon);
* has a tendency to exaggerate and boast (Millon);
* is sensitive to how others react to him or her, watches and listens carefully for critical judgment, and feels slighted by disapproval (Millon);
* is prone to feel shamed and humiliated and especially hyper-anxious and vulnerable to the judgments of others (Millon);
* covers up a sense of inadequacy and deficiency with pseudo-arrogance and pseudo-grandiosity (Millon);
* entertains fantasies of greatness, constantly striving for perfection, genius, or stardom (Forman);
* frequently entertains a wishful, exaggerated, and unrealistic concept of himself or herself which he or she can't possibly measure up to (Reich);
* produces (too quickly) work not up to the level of his or her abilities because of an overwhelmingly strong need for the immediate gratification of success (Reich);
* seeks to undo feelings of inadequacy by forcing everyone's attention and admiration upon himself or herself (Reich); |
