Why do they say malignant narcissist like it is a bad thing?

Ultimate Idolatry

Not a moment's whim should lack fulfillment,

Nor companion shade his light in the least.

All should labor for his sole contentment-

Life his solitary movable feast.

Ladies are charmed bending to his will

Yielding expected cooing and friction,

His chums hang about never standing still

All swearing to any passing fiction.

The world is his to spoil, steal, or toss out

And when by chance he fails to have his way

His is the given right to rage and pout

Should amusing mortals fail to obey.

    In answer to your question Shannon....because it is hard to diagnose.

    It seems the only way is to find ...the absence of symptoms ....

    due to it's close resemblance of other severely dysfunctional disorders

    .....malignant narcissism can be described as syndrome of narcissism

    that goes beyond Narcissistic Personality Disorder .

    ( Like being on pathological steroids)

    which results in extreme self-absorption and insensitivity

    leaving a trail of victims...

    emotional wreckage in their wake

    Those suffering from MN can admire people of greater

    power making them just short of being a Psychopath

    ...just sayin'

    Your poem shoots from the hip.....to enter the left lobe..smash the frontal..and exit the right

    timed and rhymed perfectly, satirically true ...it's a great poem on ..yes, a bad thing

    Edit: the last line..sums it all up for me.

    ...

    ''I sit down alll day and fantasize approximately cognizance (practically a few style of status or prime reputation) and at the same time in reality I could love to be nameless to this international and are living as a ******** corn farmer within the core of nowhere, I consider like others could no longer consider so much of me if i do not reap status of a few form and that my enemies could beat me out and that i can not are living with that. But the status itself is not relatively foremost to me ---it's doing larger than the ones i hate that issues to me----a few I can objectively say I am larger than them.'' I can relate to this. I additionally could love to do whatever huge on this international simply to shove it in my haters faces, at the same time at the different I desire to are living an nameless realistic humble existence within the Midwest. I hate awareness and I'm kinda a hermit. ha. I desire any one can support you. You sound like a fab man or woman so I'll simply megastar this question and move it round. :)

    **giggle**.I like this.. much better to hold yourself in high esteem than to think of yourself as unworthy or never-as-good as the next one..Narcissist started to be viewed as an illness when the overly bright Physiologist/Physiatrist had to give a name to someone that was happy with themselves!!..Like the old song says.'Be good to yoursefl..Nobody else will"..This is a jewel of brilliance..Thank you Shannon..
