	Could Eistein have been diagnosed with Narcissism? Leonardo Di Vinci? Monet? Beethoven? I mean, the DSM-IV describes it as "a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy." but what if the admiration is deserved? or they actually are superior? I know that geniuses are hard to come by, but surely there are geniuses of this generation. just curious...(should mention that yes, I am quite ignorant about this disorder despite possibly having it...feel free to enlighten me)

	but what if the obsession is justified? what if you really are better than everyone else? is that still narcissism?

	Well I'd say that even if it is justified it is still narcissism

	i wouldnt say its ok to b completely obsessed bt as long as it isnt to the point where u reject everyone because u believe ur better than them noones really better than anyone because we all have our flaws in different ways mentally or physically. you dont know that persons life experience to believe that your better than them but to answer ur question narcissism can be a real serious self obsession to the point wer u reject people because u believe ur better than them or u r scared they might call u an ass hole for being that way or ur just insecure nd try to act tough by puting people down for your own personal benefits
