This guy works online. Maybe New Zealand could contract him if no one is available locally? If only .1 percent of folk are able to understand this person? Don't they owe it to her?
Narcissistic rage may also express a frustrated sense of entitlement, by which I mean the feeling that one has a right to be given something which others believe should be obtained through effort, and unrealistic expectations of favorable treatment or automatic compliance with ones expectations. While this is a characteristic feature of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Ive seen it in every borderline client Ive treated, and in many clients with Bipolar Disorder symptoms, as well. A sense of entitlement reflects an inflated view of ones own importance and rights, which features intermittently in many psychological states of mind. No doubt youve known people who express this sense of entitlement, whether or not they fit into any of the diagnostic categories with which weve all become familiar.
I dont know whether the phrase is still in current use, but when I was a young man, people used to say, He thinks the world owes him a living. It was highly pejorative and usually said in a tone of irritation. We tend to dislike people who convey a sense of entitlement, in part because they implicitly place themselves above everyone else, as if different standards should apply to them. They may come across as condescending or patronizing; they may feel and express contempt for other people, as if they consider themselves to be superior. They often expect to be taken care of financially and behave in exploitative ways
