So does wiggy have a narcissistic personality

[Bob Cratchitt]

The DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder are:

A. A pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, lack of empathy, as indicated by at least five of:

1. a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
4. requires excessive admiration
5. has a sense of entitlement, ie unreasonable expectations of especially favourable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
6. is interpersonally exploitative, ie takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy and is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
8. is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviours or attitudes


So does any of these symptoms ring true for our dear friend wiggy,

If so maybe we should help him seeking counselling!!

I am a senior Clinical nurse specialist in Forensic Psychiatry here in Perth, and deal exclusively with Psychopathic personalities that include the narcissistic traits.( This is actually true )
If you want an assessment please ask.

Mr Cratchitt, your post reveals Cluster A subgroup traits in yourself

Perhaps we could have a clinical review of all those that continue 'Wiggy bashing'. He may be controversial, opinionated and sure he is right, but then that applies to most of us (cue self-analysis). Unless you want this forum to be the site of the 'Stepford' fans then appreciate difference. Keep it up Wiggy, it gives us all something to think about and a few something to shout about.

I would do this but there are so many of them that i feel i would spend too long doing this unless PS would oblige.

Also I am the only one who when seeing wiggy's posts keep thinking of the Jasper Carrot character of the same name??

And for the record I only thought of this post after the way he bigged himself up in another thread about how great his posts are and everyone else's were boring. So I decided that he displayed some of the above traits. Are you surprised with posts like that he gets a certain amount of flak. It is all part of the British psyche not to approve of people who self promote.
