And it can get extreme to the point where someone with the disorder doesn't even see the people around them as human. It's an obsessive preoccupation with status and power that gives it the moniker, God Complex. The extreme confidence, however, is typically a veneer masking such cripplingly low self-esteem where even the slightest criticism can lead to a complete breakdown. This makes the need for admiration stronger, which in turn adds to the individual's inflated sense of self-worth. It's a bit of a disastrous cycle. And like so many mental disorders, it's not entirely known what causes it, though it's thought to be rooted in either excessive pampering or criticism from parents or a genetic predisposition, and it typically affects more males than females beginning in the teen years or early adulthood.A 2012 study the journal Personality and Individual Differences found that people who scored higher on a Narcissistic Personality Inventory tended to have more Facebook friends, tag themselves in more pictures, and update their statuses more frequently. This all points to someone showing how great they are with no interest in anyone else, but that doesn't just play out online. A narcissistic personality disorder can affect so many areas of someone's life, leading to unfulfilling relationships, a problematic professional career, financial troubles, and alcohol abuse, all of which will ultimately isolate the one with the God complex even more. Donald Trump is a celebrity currently in the news who's been accused of having one. His outward arrogance and overall mean public demeanor are typical of a highly narcissistic leader. But does extreme narcissism make someone a good leader? A 2014 study from the University of Nebraska Lincoln doesn't think so. It found that while narcissism can be useful in certain situations and over-the-top confidence in an interview scenario can be useful, in the end narcissists are more likely to take undue risks and alienate their coworkers, weakening their overall position. Business Insider disagrees, pointing to the same traits the Nebraska studies find negative to be positive. Narcissists, they argue, demonstrate vision, attract followers, are highly persuasive, and unafraid to take risks.Are you a narcissist? Do you think you know any? Do you work for one?
