Thus the | Thus the newer definition, unlike the NPI version, does not consider desire to dominate, self-sufficiency, or exhibitionism to be traits of narcissism anymore. Therefore, being a camgirl, a libertarian, or a venture capitalist was no longer defined as narcissism. But envy of their wealth is now "medically" narcissism. And fantasizing over romance like the Greek God Echo was not "medically" narcissism. Why? Because politics. The DSM makes decisions based on votes by a few recovery industry people who make decisions based on societal factors/politics, not on scientific consensus on anything empirical in the body. | ||

The definition of narcissism was then redefined quite a bit for DSM-V, which lists the criteria as:<ref>https://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/philo/courses/materials/Narc.Pers.DSM.pdf</ref> | |||
*Dependence on others for own identity | |||
*Personal standards that are 'too low or high'. | |||
*Goal-setting based on approval from others | |||
*impaired empathy | |||
*hyper-sensitivity driven from selfish concerns | |||
*over or underestimate own effect on others | |||
*superficial relationships for selfish concerns | |||
*Antagonism caused by entitlement, grandiosity or sense of superiority | |||
*Excessive attention and admiration seeking | |||
And it also states that narcissism born from drug abuse or other medical conditions would not be considered narcissism. Here we see re-introduction of exhibitionist criteria, and a larger focus on low-self-esteem. | |||
