Barry is a classic case of Narcissism. He does not take criticism well. EVEN from a Saudi KING. (who he bowed to)

“Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence and self-esteem into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal. In contrast, people who have healthy confidence and self-esteem don't value themselves more than they value others.

When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may have a sense of entitlement. And when you don't receive the special treatment to which you feel entitled, you may become very impatient or angry. You may insist on having “the best” of everything — the best car, athletic club, medical care or social circles, for instance.

But underneath all this behavior often lies a fragile self-esteem. You have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have a sense of secret shame and humiliation. And in order to make yourself feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and efforts to belittle the other person to make yourself appear better.”

He’s got narcissistic personality disorder coming out his pores, his eyeballs, and his big jug ears. Did you hear the psychiatric association is removing NPD from its lists of disorders? In fact, I think they’ve already done so. My theory is that they’re so liberal, and it’s such a liberal pathology, they decided to ‘normalize’ it, the same way they ‘normalized’ homosexuality. Jackasses.
