Yes and no. A teenager may exhibit traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, BUT a teenager's personality is still DEVELOPING. But just as there are teenage psychopaths who murder, there are teenage narcissists. Many teenagers exhibit narcissistic traits, but this can actually be a normal and healthy phase of growing up. After all, if they don't believe that they can be better, they might collapse into a "loser mentality." The difference shows when they start to enter adulthood. Normal teenagers who were narcissists (which are most of them) will get either bored with grandiosity or give up Narcissism due to life constraints. Some others will have their narcissism evolve into an ambitious personality, which can still be a good trait. Unfortunately, a number of these teenagers (though relatively very few) will retain pathological narcissism and develop Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Some narcissists may personify their pets as an extension of themselves or to receive admiration and attention from others. They may also view their pets as objects that reflect their own status or image.
Well, narcissists love themselves, so it is hard to recognize anyone else's authority over them. They might have a problem (as most people do, actually) with anyone who uses their authority to make rules or decisions that they disagree with.
In general it is agreed that the most common careers for narcissists are those that grant automatic respect such as doctors, pastors, teachers/professors, or the military. There are plenty of other jobs that narcissists might gravitate towards, but these are a few of the most common. "Malignant Self Love" by Dr. Sam Vaknin
No, there is no evidence or research to suggest that narcissists and sociopaths are mostly closeted gay people. These personality traits are more related to a person's behavior, attitudes, and emotions, rather than their sexual orientation. It is important to avoid making assumptions or generalizations about individuals based on their sexual orientation.
Narcissists may not fully realize or acknowledge how self-absorbed they are due to their inflated sense of self-importance and lack of empathy for others. They are often more focused on maintaining and feeding their own ego rather than reflecting on their behavior.
