Do people with narcissistic personality disorder even know they have it? or are they too *perfect* to look?
Q. I am dating someone that has been loosely diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It is pretty bad. I am wondering if these people even look at the fact that they have it? By loosely... I mean counselors have diagnosed this, not psychiatrists. He does not believe anyone.

A. First off, it's hard to be "loosely" diagnosed with a Personality Disorder. They are serious issues. However, speaking generally of Narcissistic Personality Disorder most people with this diagnosis do not believe that there is anything wrong with them. Instead, it is others who have the issues and fail to recognize it. So while they may have heard someone tell them they have the diagnosis, the short answer is no, they don't believe they have it.

Are people who suffer from Narcissistic personality disorder, good or bad people?
Q. A friend of mine who studies phsycology told me that people who suffers from this mental disorder are in fact really great people. Is he right? i don't really know anything about mental diseases, so that's why im asking this Is there actually any famous guy who has this disorder?
Asked by Christopher II - Sun Mar 30 22:35:50 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. People with narcissistic personality disorder are very complex. Those closest to them (family, close friends) will tell you what a living hell the person with NPD creates for themselves and others, while the casual acquaintance (peer, client, colleague) will think the person with NPD is simply the greatest person ever. However, people who are keen on psychology or have someone like this in their life will more easily see through the mask of sanity. Those with NPD are also the most difficult to treat, since they are in such deep-rooted denial, they don't think anything is wrong.
