Symptoms include:

•lack of concern, regret or remorse about other people's distress
•irresponsibility and disregard for normal social behaviour

•little ability to tolerate frustration and to control their anger
•lack of guilt, or not learning from their mistakes
•blaming others for problems in their lives

-Narcissistic personality disorder

A person with a narcissistic personality disorder swings between seeing themselves as special and fearing they are worthless. They may act as if they have an inflated sense of their own importance and show an intense need for other people to look up to them.

Other symptoms include:

•exaggerating their own achievements and abilities
•thinking they are entitled to be treated better than other people
•exploiting other people for their own personal gain
•lacking empathy for other people's weaknesses
•looking down on people they feel are ‘beneath’ them, while feeling deeply envious of people they see as being ‘above’ them
