Is Narcissistic Personality Disorder a problem?
Q. I'm pretty sure I have Narcissistic Personality Disorder, I've been all but professionally diagnosed and was wondering if I'm going to encounter problems in life because of it; I don't see it obstructing me in any way but would like to know if anybody has encountered any issues with the disorder. If it bears any relevance I'm 16.

A. Most answer'rs here are misinterpreting. NPD is a serious impediment to intimacy and committed, loving relationships. Many do not surmount this disorder until in their early 40's. It requires a lot of therapy, trial and error before folks with NPD learn from their mistakes over the course of their lives. Hallmarks of this disorder are; blaming others for your mistakes, feelings of entitlement and 'specialness', manipulation of others, lack of meaningful friendships, and a generalized sense of dissatisfaction with life. Sorry to say: I wouldn't wish this disorder on my worst enemy :( Good luck to you, as you attempt to tackle it.

The opposite of narcissistic personality disorder?
Q. If someone has narcissistic personality disorder they tend to pair up with people who have traits opposing to their own so that this dynamic of highly intense and fluctuating feelings and emotions reinforces itself. Given these circumstances a person with narcissistic personality disorder would partner up with a person with what sort of psychological diagnosis/deficits?
