About:

We all come into contact with those people who can ruin a good mood in seconds. They are just mean spirited, rude, uncompassionate, self-serving and self-absorbed. Some of us tend to hold in our frustration or anger, which is very unhealthy as this can lead to anxiety and stress problems which do affect our health. A friend of mine informed me of how she deals with situations like this, she journals! She explained that it has helped her so much.

ME ME ME!!!!


Welcome!!!  This is the first blog I have written in awhile and the first with this type of scenario... I hope everyone will enjoy this as much as I hope to... Please read the page info at the top of the blogs, and the disclaimer to the bottom right... :D  Gotta have the legalities covered :D  

Please like, join, follow, and comment... don't forget to share! :D  

How this works - Each blog will have a title that fits the scenario being discussed.  I will try to provide as much information while keeping the people involved (those who gave me the situation and those involved in the situation)...  I will then give my analysis of the person (s) and situation, and then open the comments section for all of you to jump in and discuss the situation, diagnosis, reasoning, etc...  I hope you all enjoy!!!! 

Situation 1:
We all go through problems, we all have issues.  However there are those people who tend to blow up every minor thing.  We all know these people, they have an issue or a problem and they blow it up all over, including social networks.  They do nothing but talk about these issues, and do nothing but portray them as something so huge it’s so much worse than anything else anyone else could ever deal with.  Or they talk about their issue constantly, why is this?

Exhibit A:
Subject A had a serious problem occur recently.  However, this is all Subject A seems to talk about.  Subject A blows it up all over social networking, and it is all they talk about.  Subject A acts as if this event is something that changed their life, which it might have.  However, they act as if this is something that should be discussed, that they should be treated differently because of this.  All Subject A does it bring it up over and over and use it as an excuse for many things.  When something happens with someone else, Subject A will also revert to their problem, or find a way to squeeze it into the situation…

Why is this?  What causes this person to try to always bring the attention back to them?  What makes them push this issue onto everyone, makes them try to throw it into everyone else’s face?

My Analysis:
From the given information, it sounds like Subject A has some serious personality issues.  It sounds like Subject A has something going on in their life - loneliness, bored???
Something is lacking in Subject A’s life to make them go out and try to always put the attention on themselves, to make them feel as if they are more important, that they should be TREATED differently because of this issue, that they deserve special treatment.  Entitlement perhaps? 
I’m thinking this could be a Narcissistic Personality Disorder? 
Some of the symptoms include: (While some of the symptoms fit, not all do, however not all are required…  )
Does not take criticism well – anger, rage, humiliation
Takes advantage of others to fit their needs, and wants
Major feelings of self-importance
Exaggerates everything – situations, talents, achievements
Preoccupation with self wants – success, power, beauty, ideal love/job/etc
Expectations for favorable treatment
Needs constant attention, admiration
No regard for feelings of others
Self-service, self-interested
Selfish Goals

I think I would label as a Narcissist... 

Now to open the comments… 
What is your diagnosis?  Why do you think they are behaving like this?  What do you think has caused this?
