It is a mental disorder plain and simple. Over driving desire to appear better hiding feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. Here ya go. Textbook.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Know someone who expects constant admiration, who thinks they’re better than everyone else, but flies off the handle at the slightest criticism? These tips can help you recognize and cope with a narcissist.
What is narcissistic personality disorder (NPD)?
The word narcissism gets tossed around a lot in our selfie-obsessed, celebrity-driven culture, often to describe someone who seems excessively vain or full of themselves. But in psychological terms, narcissism doesn’t mean self-love—at least not of a genuine sort. It’s more accurate to say that people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are in love with an idealized, grandiose image of themselves. And they’re in love with this inflated self-image precisely because it allows them to avoid deep feelings of insecurity. But propping up their delusions of grandeur takes a lot of work—and that’s where the dysfunctional attitudes and behaviors come in.

Narcissistic personality disorder involves a pattern of self-centered, arrogant thinking and behavior, a lack of empathy and consideration for other people, and an excessive need for admiration. Others often describe people with NPD as ****y, manipulative, selfish, patronizing, and demanding. This way of thinking and behaving surfaces in every area of the narcissist’s life: from work and friendships to family and love relationships.

People with narcissistic personality disorder are extremely resistant to changing their behavior, even when it’s causing them problems. Their tendency is to turn the blame on to others. What’s more, they are extremely sensitive and react badly to even the slightest criticisms, disagreements, or perceived slights, which they view as personal attacks. For the people in the narcissist’s life, it’s often easier just to go along with their demands to avoid the coldness and rages. However, by understanding more about narcissistic personality disorder, you can spot the narcissists in your life, protect yourself from their power plays, and establish healthier boundaries.

Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder
Grandiose sense of self-importance
Grandiosity is the defining characteristic of narcissism. More than just arrogance or vanity, grandiosity is an unrealistic sense of superiority. Narcissists believe they are unique or “special” and can only be understood by other special people. What’s more, they are too good for anything average or ordinary. They only want to associate and be associated with other high-status people, places, and things.

Narcissists also believe that they’re better than everyone else and expect recognition as such—even when they’ve done nothing to earn it. They will often exaggerate or outright lie about their achievements and talents. And when they talk about work or relationships, all you’ll hear is how much they contribute, how great they are, and how lucky the people in their lives are to have them. They are the undisputed star and everyone else is at best a bit player.

Lives in a fantasy world that supports their delusions of grandeur
Since reality doesn’t support their grandiose view of themselves, narcissists live in a fantasy world propped up by distortion, self-deception, and magical thinking. They spin self-glorifying fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, attractiveness, and ideal love that make them feel special and in control. These fantasies protect them from feelings of inner emptiness and shame, so facts and opinions that contradict them are ignored or rationalized away. Anything that threatens to burst the fantasy bubble is met with extreme defensiveness and even rage, so those around the narcissist learn to tread carefully around their denial of reality.

Needs constant praise and admiration
A narcissist’s sense of superiority is like a balloon that gradually loses air without a steady stream of applause and recognition to keep it inflated. The occasional compliment is not enough. Narcissists need constant food for their ego, so they surround themselves with people who are willing to cater to their obsessive craving for affirmation. These relationships are very one-sided. It’s all about what the admirer can do for the narcissist, never the other way around. And if there is ever an interruption or diminishment in the admirer’s attention and praise, the narcissist treats it as a betrayal.

Sense of entitlement
Because they consider themselves special, narcissists expect favorable treatment as their due. They truly believe that whatever they want, they should get. They also expect the people around them to automatically comply with their every wish and whim. That is their only value. If you don’t anticipate and meet their every need, then you’re useless. And if you have the nerve to defy their will or “selfishly” ask for something in return, prepare yourself for aggression, outrage, or the cold shoulder.

Exploits others without guilt or shame
Narcissists never develop the ability to identify with the feelings of others—to put themselves in other people’s shoes. In other words, they lack empathy. In many ways, they view the people in their lives as objects—there to serve their needs. As a consequence, they don’t think twice about taking advantage of others to achieve their own ends. Sometimes this interpersonal exploitation is malicious, but often it is simply oblivious. Narcissists simply don’t think about how their behavior affects others. And if you point it out, they still won’t truly get it. The only thing they understand is their own needs.

Frequently demeans, intimidates, bullies, or belittles others
Narcissists feel threatened whenever they encounter someone who appears to have something they lack—especially those who are confident and popular. They’re also threatened by people who don’t kowtow to them or who challenge them in any way. Their defense mechanism is contempt. The only way to neutralize the threat and prop up their own sagging ego is to put those people down. They may do it in a patronizing or dismissive way as if to demonstrate how little the other person means to them. Or they may go on the attack with insults, name-calling, bullying, and threats to force the other person back into line.

BG7X77 Nailed it to a Tee. We all call it "Small Man Syndrome" Like a little Chihuahua barks and makes a bunch of noise behind the screen door like he is a Big Dog but he pees like a Puppy.
He has not done anything, and he lives vicariously through his son who has long passed him up on anything he could ever do. We all know he has not done anything and is a joke. Just because he pays for and Pit B!+ches for a driver does not make him a driver.

green1- We all know what you do for the racing community. You are actually a help and a value. Unlike like some others who are Non Value Added and useless. Green1, you are Respected and appreciated for what you do. I just made the statement to you to be careful what you say because Little Man has a Hard on for you and he will use your quote and try to make you look bad. It all goes back to what BG7X77 said he has Mental issues. We all know it. It really pi$$e$ him off when we do not bow to his Imaginary greatness and image he has of himself. Worse than that he has no Respect for everyone else here who works hard, spends time and money to do as good as they can.

He calls everyone a Loser, car is junk etc. and expects them to Respect him and thinks they are impressed with him? He won a race in 1995 and for last 10 years he was racing usually went out first round at his local duck pond Numedia. Does that impress you or anyone else? I am not impressed. I actually think it is sad that a grown man does not have any of his OWN accomplishments and has to ride on the coat tails of his small unit.

He has not learned that Respect is earned and not shoved up people. Most here do not Respect him, they tolerate him because SL allows the Train Wreck to continue for what ever reason. All the train wrecks on this site have one thing in common. Little Man.

Now Back to your Regularly Scheduled Train Wreck.

BG knows!

Sadistic psychopaths are incapable of conscience, but they strictly adhere to the chain of obedience, so this makes them useful for the like minded who've wormed their way into positions of power, at any level of society.

We're all seeing a lot of this on the net, these types of people stick together to cover for each other, the same as looters who help each other intuitively, holding doors for each other as they run out of stores with TV's.

Pretty interesting to view, once you understand how their minds tick.

Ed reminds me of the wicked witch of the west, high estrogen level imbalance - emotional, rather than rational.

I was here 15 years ago. Left because of the Bull then. I have welds at this time. I came on to ask opinions. I bought my rims from a private dealer. I look at opinions and make decisions on my own. Not from someone else!

Sounds like you’ll be leaving again and if you’re here asking for opinions, you make your decisions on what others tell you!

You make my point on a regular basis.

“ Offering 1st hand experience and advice based on 3 decades of on track proven performance”

Please, you can’t even back up your own signature. 3 decades of proven performance? More like your son had one lucky year a couple years back. Tell us how many rounds your cars won last year again.

Must of been 2 lucky seasons...division champion, 4 finals, 3 wins and finishing with the most points ever, jegs allstar, 2 national event finals, national event win and #4 in the world. Yea lucky. Meanwhile you can’t get past 2nd round in 7 years at the divisional at your home track. Oh and I’m certain I have more Wallys and more big checks with my name on them than you.

Looks like Ed is too embarrassed to tell us how many rounds his cars won last year.

My cars won many rounds last season, was in the money rounds everywhere we bracket raced and my door car was selected as Best Engineered” amongst over 500 entries at the Largest Door Car Race in History!

Now tell us what you did with your junk besides lose 2nd round AGAIN at the LV Divisional.
