Narcissism (derived from English) or narcissism (derived from Dutch) is an excessive self-love, the person exhibiting it being called a narcissist. The term was first used in psychology by Sigmund Freud, taking inspiration from the Greek mythological figure, Narcissus (in the Latin version: Narcissus) http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narsisisme Narcissistic personality disorder is a disorder involving a pervasive pattern of grandiosity in fantasy or behavior, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy (indifference).

The label "Narcissist" sounds quite common today, but most of us don't truly know what it means. Sure, we've heard that it's someone who is "full of themselves" or someone who "thinks they're better than everyone else." If you're having trouble with someone at work, or hearing disturbing things about an employee, you might be dealing with a narcissist.
It's useful to know the basic signs that can clue you in to get more information. If you're a manager, you'll want to pay attention so you can do your best to maintain a good work environment. If you work with or for a narcissist, you'll want to know for sure so you have a better chance of taking care of yourself and handling the situation well. If the person: • Seems somewhat charming • Likes to talk about themselves • Is not interested in others except on a very superficial (one-question) level • Makes it sound like everything in their life is bigger, better, and more important • Seems to enjoy performance mode, it feels like they're always putting on a bit of a show • Comes across as somewhat or very superior, arrogant • Seems to be involved in unhappy situations or conflicts more than the average employee • Can use demeaning or aggressive tactics to maintain control If these signs are present, you should look into things a little deeper.
Notice if this person is skilled at deflecting responsibility when something goes wrong, and placing the blame on others. Notice if this person is happy to claim credit when something goes right, even if their involvement is minimal. Notice if people around this person seem to try to avoid them, or conversely, work very hard to accommodate them and keep them happy.
Do people comment that this person is annoying to management and rude to subordinates? Notice if there's more than one or two complaints about this person – is there a common thread to what people say about what it's like to work with them? Not all difficult personalities are narcissists. Some are sociopaths. Some people exhibit some narcissistic behaviors but are open to changing their behavior.
Sometimes someone is under a lot of stress, and thus will go through a narcissistic period. If you suspect you have a narcissist in your work life, take the time to learn more. Observe their behavior, distinguish patterns. Learn skills to be effective with this difficult personality. Find out what actions to take. Avoid gossip as you seek support. If you are managing a narcissist, although it may seem more difficult at first, the best thing to do is not ignore it – take the bull by the horns and figure out the best way to deal with it for you and the organization.

However, individuals with narcissistic personality disorder are excessively over-the-top in thinking so highly of themselves and looking down on others. In contrast, people with healthy self-confidence and strong self-esteem do not evaluate themselves excessively, but rather in accordance with others' assessments of them. If you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may appear arrogant or pretentious, often monopolizing conversations, belittling or looking down on those you consider inferior.
http://tirtojiwo.org/?p=962 In psychological studies, individuals with narcissistic personality disorder have a high ego and a strong need for praise. Another characteristic of narcissistic personality disorder is believing they are superior to others and tending to be less sensitive to the feelings of others. However, despite their high ego, they dislike criticism.
Narcissistic personality disorder is not the same as self-confidence or high self-esteem. Those suffering from narcissism view themselves highly. In contrast, healthy individuals do not view themselves as more than what others assess them to be. According to psychoanalysis, this disorder arises because parents do not sufficiently appreciate what their child does and tend to talk about what the parents themselves have achieved.
For example, if a child talks about their success in getting first place in school, but the parents do not appreciate it and instead talk about what happened at the office. Parents always play an important and central role in a child's development. Ideally, parents should appreciate what their child has done, of course, in an appropriate measure. http://www.psikologizone.com/gangguan-kepribadian-narsistik/065113882 Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder include: * Believing they are better than others * Delusions of power, success, and attractiveness * Exaggerating achievements or talents * Constantly expecting praise and admiration * Believing the sufferer is special * Failing to recognize others' emotions and feelings * Expecting others to go along with the sufferer's ideas and plans * Taking advantage of others * Expressing contempt for those they feel are inferior * Being envious of others * Believing that others are envious * Difficulty maintaining healthy relationships * Setting unrealistic goals * Becoming easily irritable and rejected * Having fragile self-esteem * Hard-hearted or emotional http://health.detik.com/read/2009/11/13/101252/1241021/770/narsistik Narcissism is a part of arrogance.
