Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder characterized by an established pattern of being fixated on oneself that is reflected in the thoughts, feelings, and actions of the individual, as well as their relationships with other people.
Signs and symptoms associated with narcissistic personality disorder can include a lack of empathy, a disregard for others' feelings, excessive need for admiration, exaggerating one's own importance, preoccupation with success or power, and arrogance.
