Which statement reflects typical thoughts of someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

• A. I am a very special person; I deserve special treatment.
• B. I must always please others to avoid conflict.
• C. I am worthless and invisible.
• D. I should never act on impulses.

Answer: (A)

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a sense of entitlement. Thinking of oneself as a very special person who deserves special treatment captures that inflated self-view and expectation of privileged treatment. This belief aligns with the pattern of seeking recognition and taking for granted that one is owed favorable treatment.

The other statements describe different patterns: wanting to please others to avoid conflict signals people-pleasing or dependent tendencies; feeling worthless and invisible points to low self-esteem or depressive thinking; avoiding impulses reflects strict self-control or perfectionism, not narcissistic grandiosity.
