The serial bully displays behavior congruent with many of the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity and self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy, people with narcissistic personality disorder overestimate their abilities and inflate their accomplishments, often appearing boastful and pretentious, whilst correspondingly underestimating and devaluing the achievements and accomplishments of others.
Often the narcissist will fraudulently claim to have qualifications or experience or affiliations or associations which they don't have or aren't entitled to. Belief in superiority, inflating their self-esteem to match that of senior or important people with whom they associate or identify, insisting on having the "top" professionals or being affiliated with the "best" institutions, but criticizing the same people who disappoint them are also common features of narcissistic personality disorder.
Narcissists react angrily to criticism and when rejected, the narcissist will often denounce the profession which has rejected them (usually for lack of competence or misdeed) but simultaneously and paradoxically represent themselves as belonging to the profession they are vilifying.
Fragile self-esteem, a need for constant attention and admiration, fishing for compliments (often with great charm), an expectation of superior entitlement, expecting others to defer to them, and a lack of sensitivity especially when others do not react in the expected manner, are also hallmarks of the disorder. Greed, expecting to receive before and above the needs of others, overworking those around them, and forming romantic (sic) or sexual relationships for the purpose of advancing their purpose or career, abusing special privileges and squandering extra resources also feature.
People with narcissistic personality disorder also have difficulty recognizing the needs and feelings of others, and are dismissive, contemptuous and impatient when others share or discuss their concerns or problems. They are also oblivious to the hurtfulness of their behaviour or remarks, show an emotional coldness and a lack of reciprocal interest, exhibit envy (especially when others are accorded recognition), have an arrogant, disdainful and patronizing attitude, and are quick to blame and criticise others when their needs and expectations are not met.
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
I had never heard of histrionic personality disorder. Very interesting! Many of the Terri haters seem to feel especially close to Kyron without having ever met him and even believe that their vicious belittling behavior toward those who disagree with their belief in Terri's guilt are justified by their "love" for Kyron, just as Kaine's public accusations and discrediting of his wife is justified by being deprived of his son. Funny thing, one of the things grownups try to teach children is that cruel behavior is never justified. How did so many people forget that?
ReplyDeleteHey KP ... Love your INTJ Youtube videos. Maybe you should post a couple of of them here to help explain the difference between xxTx and xxFx. It's all too clear there is a misunderstanding that needs clarification.
ReplyDeleteHi Dr. Pickle,
ReplyDeleteGlad you are safely back from your trip!
Before I post or link to the videos, I want to close all the comments on Youtube. You were right - they are very mentally unstable. The more they rage, the more they have confirmed (without even knowing it!) It's quite a sad commentary this is what america has become. Is it any wonder why so many countries see americans as narcissistic and that this self centered nation has become a target of terrorists?
I fear for this once great nation because of what it has become. It is sad seeing the demise of a nation although in some aspects quite amusing of seeing those who think they are wise prove that they are fools.
Teresa...of course Kaine is justified in his comments publicly about Terri....The police have led him to believe [right or wrong] that she is the cause of his disappearance....If the police told you that someone took your child but they did not have the evidence to prove it yet, and that person was living in your town do you not think that you would do worse to find your child....Sheesh...
ReplyDeleteI hope that your blog is a fair one,and open to peoples comments that don't necessarily agree with you...Sorry but I am new at leaving comments anywhere and I didn't realize they had to be approved..
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU..
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with opposing viewpoints. The posts that are not approved are attack and hate posts.
ReplyDeleteKaine gives conflicting stories and is nothing more than defamation. Kiara does not need to grow up and see what her dad said about her mom. This type of divorce defamation is kept sealed for a reason - to protect the child(ren)
Every time Kaine opens his mouth, a different version of what he said previously comes out. Are we to believe Terri was falling down drunk or online all the time or she planned out a crime with absolutely no evidence that has baffled the police for six months. The newest article december 5 stated they have absolutely NO EVIDENCE linking ANYONE to Kyron's kidnapping.
Do I get to be Teresa tonight? Somehow I thought I was still Kim.
I was commenting on Teresa's comment,,but if that is you,, np..and if you are Sara and Kim..well I don't get it,,but to each her own..lol..I am not here to fight,,but if the police told you that,,..[what I said above]..would you not be at her door doing or saying what you had to,,to find your child//..Can you just answer me that honestly...?.Take Kaine and Terri out of the equation..and it is just you and who the cops tell you about who probably took your child.Would you be civil to that person>?? I think not...
ReplyDeleteWhy do I have a garbage can after my comments?
ReplyDeleteI don't see any other ones.ANd none on yours..lol
Ahhh...Is the can for me to delete my own comment>>? I told you I was new to this...
ReplyDeleteSorry
Sorry - I've been accused of being Teresa so I was just going along.
ReplyDeleteCivil is one thing but going in front of the media and speaking the way he did with his ever changing stories - no, I would not do that. If he wants to accuse her privately or through his attorney, that's one thing but to be releasing court documents containing the garbage they contained - that is something no caring parent would want released because it harms his child(ren) --- court documents like that are sealed for a reason - to protect the child(ren)
When Kiara gets older, all of his defamation against her mother will be there for her to view. No parent would do that to their child(ren) and it shows just how self centered / narcissistic that he is. He is using Kiara to manipulate Terri and that is not right.
Kaine has not been truthful and every time he opens his mouth, another pack of lies comes out.
Yes - you can delete your own comments - but not mine! :-D
ReplyDeleteI can see not wanting the child to read about her mother's sexting one day...But if it was sealed,, it should not have been released,,,,And..If Terri is guilty?? That would devastate the little girl one day when she finds out...I am of the theory that "I think" she is guilty...But i suspect that you think "you know" that Kaine is guilty..Is this the site where the owner stated that Kaine has a boyfriend and that he let his boyfriends have their way with Kyron? and that somehow the police and the mason's are involved? Why would they do that?. Where is the proof>? .ANd do you also believe that Kaine abducted his own son, so that there is no custody issue with Desiree...? I am not sure if you believe that or is it just that your site is called "alternate theories,,and you don't believe any of them but "JUST put them out there" as alternate theories..Not sure.
ReplyDeleteI am not a Kain Basher or a Terri Basher..Just have my opinion like everyone else...
I have been reading so many sites about this case,,that if I have got your theories mixed up with another then I apologise...
Very late now,,let's see what tomorrow brings....
I would be interested to hear your alternate theory on Tiffany Hartley and her story...
ReplyDeleteApparently David told her to go on a shopping spree..lol
Over and Out...
I believe Kaine was involved - I stated the masons may be involved - that is theory. I called this site alternate THEORIES for a reason. A friend of mine who worked with Kaine told me about Kaine's boyfriend. Kaine's family has a history of sexual abuse and that is very often a learned behavior.
ReplyDeleteI do not follow many cases at all and do not know who Tiffany Hartley is - I'll have to go Google the name. If I have a theory about it, maybe I'll post it.
Writing is not a great passion of mine and I never planned to create this blog. I would have been happy to continue posting on Oregonlive if they didn't delete all my posts (posts deleted many of them were mild compared to here) and if they had stopped the harassment and bullying. Believe it or not, at first I thought Terri was guilty.
