How to spot a narcissist (Book 2)

According to the DSM5, the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental health disorders and medscape.com, NPD is "defined as comprising a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts as indicated by the presence of at least 5 of 9 criteria."

These criteria from the dsm5 are:

-has a grandiose sense of self

-is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, etc.

-believes he or she is special and unique. believes they should only associate with people of high status or power

-requires constant excessive admiration and attention (this is known as "supply") They cannot be alone with themselves.

-has a sense of entitlement such as unreasonable expectations, wants favorable treatment, and constant compliance

-is interpersonally exploitative of their friends, family, and coworkers. They take advantage of others to achieve their own desires.

-lacks empathy

-is often envious of others or believes others are envious of them (jealousy)

-shows arrogant and haughty behaviors and attitudes

How to spot a narcissist (signs):
1.) They will ask for the manager. Very  loudly, in demanding tone. They need the upmost respect from the highest person on the retail business totem pole -the manager. Their every need needs to be validated.
Hence why they scream "Where is your manager?!! I wanna return these leggings I bought 6 months ago without a receipt. Now!!! What do you mean I can't do that?! How dare you! Do you know who I am?! I am your most loyal customer and have been shopping here for years! My great great grandmother even shopped here back in the day. This is atrocious! I am being treated horribly! This is terrible customer service! TERRIBLE!!"
2.) They are embarrassing for family and friends to be around and deal with. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone embarrasses themselves from time to time. For a narcissist, however, this is CONSTANT. You will ALWAYS be apologizing for their rude behavior to wait staff, strangers, etc. Whenever you are out in public with them you will be the one cleaning up their social pas.
3.) They will leave you in the dust. Narcissists when in their own world or angry with you, will leave you in the dust. They come first, you come second. You must always fit their need, even if that means you have to check into the hotel and bring up the suitcases while they go rest in bed.
4.) They talk about only themselves, or redirect the conversation to themselves. Everything is about them. Me, me, me, me, me. You will hardly get in a word edgewise.
5.) They don't see you have your own opinion. They will put their opinion on you, insist your opinion is wrong or that their view point is right. If you talk about food and you ask what they like, if they say spaghetti, you will say "Okay, that's cool. My favorite food is sushi."
"Sushi!" The narc says "What's so great about that? No, spaghetti is better. I insist I show you. I'll take you out to dinner next week and prove it."
6.) gives you silent treatment

Review:
-demanding/loud/rude in public
-embarrassing or weird to be around (they are socially awkward and cannot tell social ques)
-they will leave you in the dust or give you the silent treatment, making you do everything
-they talk about themselves, me, me me, all day long. "I went here. Then I did this. Then I did that. Then I, I, I, me, me, me."
-they tell you your opinion is wrong and theirs is better, like music or food. They must, must, show you theirs is better. They WILL prove it.
-gives you silent treatment
