    It depends on what I have and what it says.

    Yes, I google this and I get great information because I don't only google one site.  It's like shopping for the truth kind of.

    It is always necessary to get this checked out by a pro.  But at least you know what you are up against when you read what the possibilities are.

    I've tried, but "Awesome Dude" doesn't appear on any medical charts. Meh, they must be lacking.

    You have to use the precise medical terminology:  narcissism.

    Oh.  I already know a lot about that topic, so I really don't need to research it. Would you like me to give you any pointers about it?  I'd be glad to, I truly would.

    Pretty sure that's listed and detailed in the DSM-5.  

    (Although in your case it may be the rare, exceptional "with justifiable cause".) This post was edited by Salt and Red Pepper at October 10, 2017 3:49 AM MDT
