This is an insightful comment from an individual on the site of the Vaknin videos:
'This man is interesting because he is himself a self-described narcissist….somehow i respect him for being aware of himself …i suspect most narcissists would never admit to such a truth even if their life depended on it....i like this narcissist ...i say all his sins are forgiven in exchange for blowing the cover of countless creeps.'
Sam Vaknin has written in-depth, at length, about narcissism. As the remark says above, this is homage to his own awareness of this condition and its malignancy. If any psychologist, psychotherapist learns about this character and personality disorder, Vaknin is likely the most followed for his acuity, and sheer excellence in his works.
This particular video is well worth listening to, and extremely interesting.

NARCISSISM: Wikipedia
Many of my posts deal with narcissism. Using a trenchant tone, punctuated by sarcasm, you just haven't lived until you have had a significant relationship with one.
Typically narcissism is cloaked as a male, but there is a growing female head count as this present culture evolves. Many folks could sum up their definition and understanding in a few words. And, there is a healthy degree of narcissism we all need. If that is void, we could not even successfully apply for a job.
My focus, which includes studies of several individuals whom I think address our dearth of knowledge about this personality disorder, concerns itself more with the malignant narcissist. And, in reviewing the causes of the disorder, this generation and the last of parenting falls sharply in line with being higher on the continuum. The profiles for this are compelling as we look at our own parenting and that of others. However, this following link from Wikipedia, discusses it sufficiently (the quick and dirty approach) in few words, and merits scrutiny.
Yet, there is so much more, and there are sites such as "The Narcissistic Continuum" I have listed in my links to the right.

The Narcissist's Dilemma: They Can Dish It Out, But . . . | Psychology Today
It's precisely this need to be viewed as perfect, superlative, or infallible that makes them so hypersensitive to criticism. And their typical reaction to criticism, disagreement, challenges-or sometimes even the mere suggestion that they consider doing something differently-can lead to the "narcissistic rage" that is another of their trademarks.
