Ain't dat da truth, Elk! However most everybody lacks the training to understand that a pathological narcissist is NOT vain per se but only for show as in truth he is rather desperate that people will see right through his pretense of grandeur and recognize him for the miserable failure he is in his own perception
(which usually thoroughly programmed, beaten into and ingrained by cold and violent parents before the age of 6)

Thus a pathological narcissist is driven by the all consuming obsessive need to be in the centre of attention so he does not have to feel this terror inside. This imperative need is so overarching all other biological and psychological needs that to this end he is even willing to make himself a fool and act self destructive as long as he remains in the centre of attention for a just a little longer. Neurophysiologically the hormonal mechanism in play is just like a substance addict that needs that next shot.
This complete recklessness towards one's own reputation, even survival if it can be traded in for a little more attention is what makes pathological narcissist so unpredictable and dangerous.
