Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, an excessive need for admiration, and a profound lack of empathy for others. Individuals with NPD often have a fragile self-esteem behind a mask of extreme confidence and are highly sensitive to criticism. The condition typically emerges by early adulthood and can significantly impair relationships and daily functioning.
I think we all know someone with this disorder..some of my closest relatives suffer from it..

It’s a very destructive ugly personality disorder, and worse to deal with.
The last 15 yrs of work I was placed with a very good FOH sound engineer who was swallowed whole in it. It was repulsive. Abusive AF. I was there to keep him in line. About the only thing that shocked him in place was “ F the rules, I’ll pay the fine, but you’re about to get your butt stomped silly”
Keeping him in line affected me in a negative way. It kept me in a cocked and loaded cage. It probably reflected here. i don’t want to be that guy, I just wanna do my thing, not a babysitter.. I don’t want to be used to keep someone in line who should have just been fired and kicked in the nuts for good measure. Anyone else would be blackballed. It kept me angry. Because of him and being used to supervise an idiot.
He was a nightmare to everyone. I could not be more glad to be retired from that fecal mess. It’s good to not be psssed anymore. Good riddance.
I loath bullies.

The most frightening part is the grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy.

I dont think this is going to trigger the response you are seeking.

An actual specific response isn't necessarily expected nor needed..
It's definitely a mental illness many are dealing with these days..
My last in-house boss had it tied to a napoleon complex..that was a fun 4 years..

The sort of person who says we don't need you then begs the ones that said goodbye to come back? That sort of person?

I think the much of social media bs with its friends and likes are spawned from such a condition which has its base in insecurities of one sort or another....
