NPD - The facts

Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Is this what the so-called "fiance" talked to me about? The criteria for diagnosis appears to describe her perfectly:

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

Has a grandiose sense of self-importance
Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Believes that he or she is "special" and unique
Requires excessive admiration
Has a sense of entitlement
Is interpersonally exploitative
Lacks empathy
Is often envious of others and believes others are envious of him or her
Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

I think so!!
