The narcissist is an actor in a monodrama, yet forced to remain behind the scenes. The scenes take center stage, instead.
The narcissist does not cater at all to his own needs. Contrary to his reputation, the narcissist does not "love" himself in any true sense of this loaded word.
He feeds off other people who hurl back at him an image that he projects to them. This is their sole function in his world: to reflect, to admire, to applaud, to detest - in a word, to assure him that he exists. Otherwise, they have no right to tax his time, energy, or emotions - so he feels.
sure, we are all narcissistic in some degree. those w/ creative tendencies doubly so, but then how can you not? i don't think we have such a high degree of narcissisim that would be called disorderly...then again, i could be wrong.
