We've mentioned in previous posts (please request back-issues. Unlike other blogs The Curmudgeon Inc.ⓒ retains all posts from previous years and can provide copies on demand) that Richard's Bass Bag demonstrates worrying disorders that, if the blog was actually read by anyone could prove to be dangerous. Fortunately it is being contained but occasionally new posts pop up that merit concern. See HERE.
If you were to read this and be worried, have a read of this:
Some outtakes are:
Symptoms:
Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:
Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
Expect to be recognised as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerate achievements and talents
Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
Monopolise conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
Expect special favours and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
Take advantage of others to get what they want
Have an inability or unwillingness to recognise the needs and feelings of others
Be envious of others and believe others envy them
Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office.
Our recommendation at The Curmudgeon Inc.ⓒ is to ignore him and to certainly not indulge him in his fantasies. Who knows where that would lead?

So that's Richard labeled and boxed! Not really.
I disagree not because I am a student of psychology with post graduate study but because
like your delusion that God does not exist you have never encountered a real narcissistic person!
No, not true.
I believe that a real narcissist worked for me a few years ago.
Her behaviour ticked all those symptoms listed above.
I had to manage her out of the position which took a while because of her sense of self-importance.
She was self-serving, selfish, dishonest and a bully to the staff who reported to her. I had to make arrangements for her to attend anger management courses.
I was relieved when she finally moved on to another position after having hoodwinked her new manager (the head of another department in the same company) who ignored my advise and later confided in me that he had made a mistake.
p.s. These blog posts of mine are a bit of fun and not to be taken as seriously as you do.
p.p.s. Your comment that I have a delusion that God does not exist suggests that you should seriously have a look at your belief system in the light of logic and common sense.
"I am a student of psychology with post graduate study."
What was your post graduate study?
Oh dear here we go.
Peter says he believes that a real blah blah blah!
Suddenly it is alright to have beliefs not founded on empirical evidence!
Peter believes this so it is true!
Suddenly Richard asks "What was your post graduate study".
I choose not to reply.
Well that was a waste of time.
