#4 could have been written about my former husband, a narcissistic surgeon who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in his mid forties. But so could #1, #2, #3. I think it's important to note that #1 may contribute to the development of the narcissist and #2 and #3 should alert you to the possibility of an underlying disorder like narcissism. If someone is constantly drawing the attention to him/her self, even though they may be often very engaging, there is a problem--and you won't be able to "fix them" or help them by being drawn into it. While they may be black hole of attention seeking, they will make excuses of "emergencies" for not being able to engage emotionally or be accountable emotionally to the relationship. You can't fix them--stay away and run while you can!
