Well, I can see a slight resemblance to some of this in our southern MD boy:

*Highly competitive in virtually all aspects of his life, believing he (or she) possesses special
qualities and abilities that others lack; portrays himself as a winner and all others as losers.

*Displays a grandiose sense of self, violating social norms, throwing tantrums, even breaking laws
with minimal consequences; generally behaves as if entitled to do whatever he wants regardless of
how it affects others.

*Shames or humiliates those who disagree with him, and goes on the attack when hurt or frustrated,
often exploding with rage.

*Arrogant, vain and haughty and exaggerates his accomplishments; bullies others to get his own way.

And lastly but bestly!

*Lies or distorts the truth for personal gain, blames others or makes excuses for his mistakes,
ignores or rewrites facts that challenge his self-image, and won’t listen to arguments based on
truth.
