I’m no expert, but I believe he falls under the “megalomaniac” category. Heavy emphasis on the “maniac”.
Yeah, so the there is not really a megalomania disorder in the DSM. The DSM categorizes both narcisism and megalomania as facets of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Meaning he can have both. Megalomania is characterized by an obsession with power, the need to control and manipulate others, and delusions of grandeur. Narcisism is characterized by a lack of empathy, overinflated sense of self importance, and a need for admiration. He clearly exhibits all of those traits.
In fact, while we’re at it, throw in antisocial personality disorder in there as well, deceitfulness, lack of regard for social norms, and impulsivity.
I love the callout for antisocial personality disorder. People think that it means unsociable, but it’s really the abuse of society.
Yes, people say antisocial when they mean asocial. The asocial people are those who avoid being around others and/or get exhausted easily in social situations.
Why not both?
He’s a megalomaniacal egomaniac presenting with extreme narcissism
In other words hes an asshole
