Is there a name for this? Plz help.

Is there a mental illness that causes something like god complex in people?
You know, someone that always has to be right, always justifies their actions (even if they're wrong they're right, in their eyes), and verbally offends anyone who disagrees.
They are also master manipulators.
There has to be a name for it. This just doesn't seem like normal behavior to me.

 

Messiah complex. At least to start. There's a whole bunch of disorders under this catagory.

If they're behaving in a compulsive manner(meaning that the person has an obssesion with certain thing/s and carries out actions towards that obsession), it might be obsessive-complusive disorder. Or they might have some level of psychosis thinking that they're deity(god is "never" wrong). Or they might just be plain assholes. Im no doctor, so don't quote me on this.

 

Well, I have OCD, and I don't act like that.


I think I found the answer (on Yahoo answers).
It's probably NPD, or Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

 

You took the words right out of my mouth with NPD.
People with NPD are not only always right, they truly believe that anyone that acts differently from their "right" is totally fucked and stupid.

 

Yep, and there are some people like that on this site (mostly trolls).

 

Megalomania

 

I was going to say NPD, too. Good luck relating with that person. That can be a major challenge!

 

that sounds quite close to being correct. there might also be antisocial personality disorder and boarderline in that mix too. aspd, bpd, and npd are in the group that is labled the 'dramatic' grouping of disorders. the other two groupings are: the 'anxiety' and 'odd.' you would be in the 'anxiety' group since you have ocd; i am in the 'odd' group since i have spd. both the anxiety and odd groups are "easy" to live with compaired to dramatic group!

 

Borderline or NPD.

 

How would someone know if they have NPD or if it's just something simpler. What marks the difference between an asshole and someone with NPD? I notice that my father is like this and am beginning to notice that I am too. I'm smart enough not to be obvious about it but I sort of keep a tally in the back of my head and when someone has proved me wrong I try and prove myself right over time. Sometimes I'll refer back to the moment when they proved me wrong after I've made my point and show that I wasn't (days later usually). I get horribly embarrased whenever I'm wrong and even more so when people point out that I have a need to be right. I'm really trying to stop though.

 

i happen to know that there is a narcissistic megalomaniac haunting hip forums.

 

The fact that you are questioning in such a sincere way if you have it and notice things you do wrong, most likely means you do not have NPD and instead maybe are insecure, thus defensive or are going through a phase in your life where you are self-rightous.
