[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it abnormal for someone to think they are better looking, smarter, richer, more interesting, better dressed, better parent, more athletic, etc than other members of their family? I know someone who believes these things are measurable to some extent and feels they “won” and are therefore “better” than the others. They can’t fathom why others don’t give them credit for all these things and keep them at arms length.[/quote]

I think to a certain degree it is normal with some traits. E.g. I think I am better dressed than the average person on the street.  I think I am better looking than the average person. But I think there are better looking people than me, smarter, richer.  Just like there are poorer people, less smart ones etc. I think I was a good parent but I made mistakes and could have been better.  I tried my best.  There is a woman at work who is very stylish and although I think I'm pretty stylish, I love seeing what she's wearing BC I like her style and have complimented her a couple times.

My brother in law is a complete narcissist. He's an MD and has an overinflated sense of self.  He even thinks he has alpha DNA (literally said this) and that he's god's gift to the world.  He is very smart but his level of arrogance is unbelievable.  He thinks everyone who works with him including other doctors are all dumb.  He's the only smart one.  He's a classic narcissist and sometimes I think he borders on sociopathy. By the way he's fat and has had some autoimmune issues. The obesity is apparently all muscle.  Whatever.  As far as autoimmune (digestive mainly), I haven't heard how he can reconcile that with his alpha DNA.  He's also said bizarre things that the govt knows who the alphas are and that they watch.  Sometimes I wonder if he has other paranoid delusions.  He doesn't mind the govt being aware if his illustrious DNA. We try to stay away from him and just send Christmas cards BC we think he's weird. He has a young son who has dyslexia and the school keeps wanting to get the poor kid tested but my brother in law says the school is made up of imbeciles and how dare they critisize his son, who has the iq higher than any of them.  By the way, his son is smart.  Just dyslexic too.  I feel sorry for his son as he gets older. [/quote]
