nar�cis�sism Pronunciation Key (n�rs-szm) also nar�cism (-szm)
n.
Excessive love or admiration of oneself. See Synonyms at conceit.
A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.
Erotic pleasure derived from contemplation or admiration of one's own body or self, especially as a fixation on or a regression to an infantile stage of development.
The attribute of the human psyche charactized by admiration of oneself but within normal limits.

--------------------Now, I don't know about you, but I believe that Mr. D's attitude is far from narcissism. Even if he is being preachy, as some of you seem to think, it's obviously because he has a concern for the animals. I don't see him touting his own experience, or calling himself a "deity of iguanas".... those are examples of what narcissism in action would have been. The point here is, you guys, that the procedure WAS an illegal one as far as I know. he asked for advice, he got what could legally be given. "take the iguana to the vet"... nuff said. personalites show on here, not just in real life. you may not like him, but he WAS right.
