Stumbled across this from the bottom and figured you'd want to know that my cousin, who has been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, when asked if she's a narcissist, says

"I have needs that other people don't have and I deal with problems in my own way so it's important that people understand how they have to treat me."

She conversationally volunteered that she's a diagnosed narcissist. It basically gave her cover to continue being a bitch to everyone because, you see, now that she has a diagnosis there's nothing she can do about it and it's better for her health if people respond to her as she's entitled to be rather than how they expect to.

That's brilliant. I've heard it been explained, and I'm sure vastly oversimplified, that sociopaths do have feelings, they just don't understand that everyone else has feelings, too.
