Best Answer

Narcissistic personality disorder means that a person sees themselves as being much better than others and have an elevated sense of self worth. People diagnosed with this disorder are referred to as Narcissists. Narcissists can be extremely vain and arrogant, and would usually not think twice about taking advantage of another person to achieve their own goals. Narcissists also don't handle any type of criticism well because they perceive themselves as being perfect, and may lash out at a person who criticizes them with extreme anger.
