And just a year before Atomic Rooster and Death Walks Behind You (which I kinda think might also be highly appropriate for a Mirabelle).<br /><br />But I have to say that your post did inspire me to consult the web on the subject of "narcissistic delusional thinking" and here's just a bit of what came forth from Dr Sam Vaknin:<br /><br />"One of the most important symptoms of pathological narcissism (the Narcissistic Personality Disorder) is grandiosity. Grandiose fantasies (megalomaniac delusions of grandeur) permeate every aspect of the narcissist's personality. They are the reason that the narcissist feels entitled to special treatment which is typically incommensurate with [her] real accomplishments. The Grandiosity Gap is the abyss between the narcissist's self-image (as reified by [her] False Self) and reality."<br /><br />Sounds about right, doesn't it ?GrueBleennoreply@blogger.com
