- Superficial Charm. They often are manipulative, envying others, believing others envy them. They seldom recognize the rights of others and are self serving. They appear charming, yet are covertly domineering, even humiliating their victim into being a useful instrument for their gain.
- Grandiose Sense of Self. They are preoccupied with fantasies of extreme success, power, beauty, excessive need for adoration and attention. They feel entitled as “their right” to special treatments. They often expect others to obey unreasonable expectations.
- Lack of Remorse, Empathy, Shame or Guilt. They cannot put themselves in other’s shoes and often view someone as an “opportunity” in some way to take advantage of for selfish reasons.
- Pathological Lying. They have no problem lying coolly on a consistent basis. They are extremely convincing, so much so that they can even convince themselves of their own lies. It is possible for them to even pass a lie detector test.
- Shallow Emotions. They show what seem to be warmth, joy, love and compassion, but they feign these emotions to serve an ulterior motive. They are often outraged by insignificant matters. Often, what might be perceived as a temper in probability is a possible bipolar disorder. Since they are often not genuine, neither are their promises in failing to follow through.
- Callousness. They often have an inability to connect to the pain of those they hurt. They often are vocal about doing whatever it takes to reach their intended goal no matter what the consequences may be.
- Irresponsibility/Unreliability. They are not concerned about wrecking other’s lives and dreams, and are often oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. They rarely will accept blame but blame others or make excuses for their behavior.
- Promiscuous. They usually indulge in lots of different partners. They are often arrogant, haughty in attitude.
- Lack of Realistic Goals/Parasitic lifestyle. They tend to make all encompassing promises for the future, their contribution to work ethic, but eventually end up exploiting others.
- Inability to Emotionally Attach. They tend to be unable to have more than superficial attachment with others. They have a great ability to feign deeper interest and feelings for others.
