Narcisism



I thought it was kinda funny (just kinda) that there is actually a legitimate medical condition for selfishness. Its called Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD. Heres the test...


Symptoms & Signs


  • need constant attention and admiration

  • lack empathy

  • exaggerate achievements and talents

  • react to criticism with feelings of rage, shame, or humiliation

  • be impulsive, anxious, or envious of others

  • take advantage of others to achieve his or her own goals

  • expect special treatment

  • be preoccupied with ideas of unlimited success, power, brilliance, strength, and beauty

  • become quickly dissatisfied with others

The devil is a narcissist and so are all of us when we fail to allow the Spirit of Christ to rule within us.This website claims that there are no cures or prevention for NPD . Of course we Christians know better.

Phil 2:3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
