Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental illness coded on axis 2 of the DSM-IV and requires a diagnosis by a qualified mental health professional. The two terms are similar and someone called a megalomaniac is not unlikely to show symptoms of Narcissism. In fact, they could be a narcissist but they may or may not be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder.
It is often assumed that Stalin was a megalomaniac.
A megalomaniac is someone who has an obsessive desire for power and control, often with delusions of grandeur. A narcissist is someone who has an excessive sense of self-importance and a lack of empathy for others. One key difference is that megalomaniacs seek power and control, while narcissists seek admiration and validation. One way to distinguish between the two is to observe their behavior - megalomaniacs may be more focused on dominating others, while narcissists may be more focused on seeking attention and praise.
The antonym for the word narcissist is altruist. An altruist is someone who selflessly cares for the well-being of others, in contrast to a narcissist who is excessively self-involved.
The question is ... why bother trying? People are held responsible for their own actions and I wouldn't touch this one with a 10 foot pole. Don't bother trying because you won't get through to either of them. Sorry Marcy
Dealing with someone who exhibits a narcissistic megalomaniac personality can be challenging due to their excessive self-importance, lack of empathy, and manipulative behavior. They may be difficult to reason with, prone to conflict, and may not take responsibility for their actions. It can be emotionally draining and require setting boundaries to protect oneself from their negative impact.
