Narcissism

Mar 09, 2009 07:57

So I read an article from a psychologist that states Obama shows alot of the signs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I decided to look it up in the DSM which if you dont know is the guidelines for mental disorders. This is what I found.

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
  1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
  2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
  3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique
  4. requires excessive admiration
  5. has a sense of entitlement
  6. is interpersonally exploitative
  7. lacks empathy
  8. is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
  9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
That does sound like a bad mental state for the president of the US, and leader of the free world. I put myself against these guidelines b.c some of it matches me, I have decided that I am still schizoid moreso then this. It also says that you cant be both. Having already been diagnozed schizoid and sociopathic (which btw also fits some of this criteria) I find it hard to believe that I also have this.

But anyways, it seems that Hitler and Stalin also suffered from this personality disorder, very interesting. Having a black president right now, especially one that lies constantly is going to divide this nation racially. Its a bad place for the blacks as the whites still have most of the money and the power. IIf something is started its goign to be back to the 60s.

Anyways back to my day. I had some suicidal thoughts and depression again today. I have been 2 weeks without it. I dont know its come back but I dont like it. Im exhausted for some reason. I went to bed and got good sleep but yet im still tired.
