“The man who is described as someone who wouldn’t hurt a fly plotted the murders of his family and was relentless about following through with his plan. He’s even said in his letters to Cadle that he felt no remorse for his family. All he felt was that he was free to finally be with Nikki. All he cares about is himself.”

Their self-esteem is incredibly fragile, and they do not take even the slightest criticism well. If they experience any perceived criticism, they fly off the handle, which is referred to as “narcissistic rage.”
