    Don't worry its not a term you are ever likely to need unless the other posters start using the word.

    But your obsession with rigid labeling traps you here; there is no way I could be defined as lower class or as an oik by your own standards. I have a middle class job, live in a middle-class house, had a middle class education and was raised by equally middle class parents who were themselves raised by middle class parents. I've more often been labelled posh than the opposite.

    Inside the narcissistic personality

    Narcissistic personality disorders seem rampant among computer professionals, as here we see some major traits of people with narcissistic personalities, characterized by strong feelings of being ashamed of themselves all-the-while presenting a grandiose front.

    The old saying "He is a legend in his own mind" describes to-a-tee someone with narcissistic personality disorder and these types of weirdoes are super-common in the computer science and information technology industries where geeks and misfits can become zillionaires, despite their crippling mental problems.
    Good self-diagnosis - what you going to do about it?
