Narcissism is a personality disorder that involves having an unusual fascination with oneself, an excessive sense of self-importance and the need to get admired. People with this disorder are in love with a grand, idealized image of themselves. Since reality does not support their grandiose self-image, narcissists often live in a world of fantasy propped out of magical thinking, self-deception, and distortion. Such people are extremely resistant to changing behaviors even when it causes problems. They tend to blame others for everything and react badly to smallest disagreements and criticism.

However, as a celebrity, it is quite easy to have such a self-inflated ego and live with a belief that you are greatly admired. A normal celebrity would understand that it is important to keep one’s ego in limit and accept the reality. But, there are a couple of famous people with narcissistic personality disorder who post endless selfies and document every action believing themselves to be the center of all existence on earth.
