More from Mayo Clinic:

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people
have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for
admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that
they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's
feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-
esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several types of
personality disorders. Personality disorders are conditions in which
people have traits that cause them to feel and behave in socially
distressing ways, limiting their ability to function in relationships
and in other areas of their life, such as work or school.

Although the cause of narcissistic personality disorder isn't known,
researchers continue to learn more about the factors that may increase
the risk of developing the condition. In the past, experts believed
excessive praise, admiration and indulgence from parents may lead to a
pathologically inflated sense of self. Today, however, psychiatrists
believe parental neglect is more likely responsible.

Government and medical psychobabble. That describes, for the most part,
most humans on the planet.

From the Cleveland Clinic:

Narcissistic personality disorder is one of a group of conditions
called dramatic personality disorders. People with these disorders
have intense, unstable emotions, and a distorted self-image.
Narcissistic personality disorder is further characterized by an
abnormal love of self, an exaggerated sense of superiority and
importance, and a preoccupation with success and power.

Let's see if we have this correct.

Harry doesn't post with his full name. But you post with his full name.

You don't have the writing skills to imitate Harry.

So who are you trying to fool, "I am Tosk"?
