A man who is diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) has revealed the one question to ask someone to see if they have the condition too.

NPD is a mental health condition that gives an increased sense of self-importance, a deep need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others.

People with NPD often have fragile self-esteem and struggle with relationships due to their 'it's all about me' mindset.

Jacob Skidmore - known online as The Nameless Narcissist - is a US-based content creator from Ohio who shares the ins and outs of his NPD journey with his 200k+ followers.

"Nowadays I’m (obviously) very open about my condition but, since I was aware of the opinion most people had about it, I didn’t tell anyone for around two years," he told LADbible earlier this year.

"I know some people with NPD that have gone decades without disclosing it out of fear of judgement. That’s the issue with having such a shame driven disorder.

"It’s hard to tell anyone something that you think they’ll judge you for."

Meanwhile, in a video from 2023, Jacob opened up about what question you need to ask someone to find out if they have NPD.

"So I'm a diagnosed narcissist, and this is a question that was proposed to me by another friend of mine who is a diagnosed narcissist," he began.

"And when I heard it, I was like, 'Oh my God, yes, finally somebody said it'. Like the answer to this question felt so objectively true to me.

"And I was shocked that, finally, I met somebody else who can see the reality of things. Naturally, that's not reality, it's my disorder but still.

"Ask them: 'Don't you think that there are just objectively better and worse people in the world, and people who are superior and inferior and the rest of the world just wants to ignore that?'"

He explained: "Even better if you add something implying that you and that person are both part of the like upper echelons.

"Narcissists view the world through that lens, through the ideas that there are people who have more inherent self-worth and some people who have less self-worth, people who are better than other people and people who are worse.

"That is a central core belief that drives their actions. And it is why constantly they're trying to prove that they are part of the better people because, deep down, they think they're part of the worst people."
