A personality of a person is shaped by experiences, environment, and inherited characteristics.
But once the person behaves in an unusual way such as becoming aggressive, egoistic, and insensitive, then that person possibly has a personality disorder. For someone who is diagnosed with this illness, a lot of factors are considered to be the reasons contributing to such. This can also cause distress over a long period. In the 21st century, the most prevalent disorder case is Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NDP). This is one of the many mental illnesses that can destroy one's life if not being controlled. Someone with NDP tends to project an attention-seeker attitude. This is common to the younger generation or what we mostly refer to as Millennials. Narcissistic people regard themselves as someone with dominating power. They usually disregard others. When they feel the urge to demean or insult people, they will not hesitate. They can even pose as the kind of people you never wish to interact with. They are manipulative in some ways, and often just showoff themselves to the many. If you know someone with this attitude, it is really frustrating to act nicely around them. However, even though they are annoying, we still do not know what made them act like that. According to some psychologists, people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder may have lived a miserable life, especially as a child. They have probably experienced neglection in the past. They might have never gotten the things they wanted during their childhood days. People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder requires immediate and thorough psychological aid because this can lead to suicide, depression, physical abuse, and drug abuse. However, confirmed NPD patients do not actively seek help themselves. This is for the reason that they strongly believe that nothing is wrong with them. Not until their disorder starts to impact their lives significantly. Even though these people are on the verge of major depression and suicide, they still would not consider asking for medical help. They believe that it would be detrimental to their public image when they start going to psychological therapy. They Are afraid that others will look down to them, thinking that they have gone crazy. So, they prefer to hide everything to themselves than speaking up to a psychological expert or therapist. They do not want to look like a loser in front of their friends and family. People with NPD strives to continue to fit in as well to be accepted by society. They will put on a gallant mask so no one will know their weakness.
