Narcissistic Personality
Narcissistic Personality Disorder deploys a pattern of grandiosity reflected in the patient’s fantasy. Patients think they are special and unique. Thus, the person presents an exacerbated sense of self-importance. This is why they exaggerate their abilities and speak of their achievements disproportionately.
These people will demand excessive admiration and special treatment. They will emphasize that people of the same status can only understand them. It is common for the person to have unrealizable expectations; for example, they might insist that others bend to their will, baring arrogance and fostering master and servant interactions.
