No, seriously, if one wants to observe a classic narcissist, Barry is ideal. I contend that he exhibits EVERY ONE of the characteristics of a narcissist. Seeing all of them so obviously apparent in one person is a real "treat."
- An exaggerated sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
- Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
- Believes he is "special" and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
- Requires excessive admiration
- Has a sense of entitlement
- Selfishly takes advantage of others to achieve his own ends
- Lacks empathy
- Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him
- Shows arrogant, haughty, patronizing, or contemptuous behaviors or attitudes
I agree, he is a narcissist & what people don't realize, it's not just an ego thing. They are very dangerous.
There is a fine line between narcissism & sociopath.
Since they have no capacity for empathy, they do not care about anyone, they will hurt everyone to get what they want.
They never mentally mature, that is why he parties all the time, their priorities are those of a teenager. HE definitley should not be in the position he is in.
