That's about big-N Narcissists, and I'm not diagnosing LKH with anything, but I think a lot of it can apply to people who are just very self-absorbed as well. I also wonder what the deal is with it. I think maybe it's that people like this HAVE to believe you can re-write at least people's perceptions of reality or else everything falls apart. A lot of people think that if they're not the absolute best, then they're absolutely worthless. So maybe it's an attempt to at least appear to be the best, hoping that if others believe it then it might become true?
