First of all, It is not just being selfish or feeling the need to be the center of the entire world. NPD is an actual disorder with the inability to feeling empathy for others, but did does not mean they are intentionally malicious, but a defense mechanism developed after being in a certain negative environment. Another thing not really seen is that NPD is more of an constructive identity, built to protect their . Majority of the time people with NPD are self conscious and doubting, they cope by having a inflated sense of self importance, to be used as something to protect their self preservation; Symptoms > > Inability to recognize the needs and feelings of others. > Craving recognition and appreciation from others > Looking down on others > Making achievements more important than they are. > Having impatience with others (especially if viewed not superior) > Internal hierarchy How it will affect Epic? > Epic will view people and judge them highly based on his own personal hierarchy. This hierarchy will be more prominently shown through apprenticeship when he decides who he views superior or inferior. For those inferior to him he will be impatient with and overall look down on them. But even though he views some inferior he still believes They have value in making them like him. For those who he views superior, he will bluff a bitz and make his achievements make way bigger to show he's a valuable asset to them.
