how would psycologists call people who act the following way?
1. Inability to admit fault? Like to say "I am wrong" this person is actually incapable of admiting wring doing even when it is in front of her and is being pointed out to her. She knows it, because she'll smile like "oops I'm caught" but won't admit it.
2. Someone who likes to be mean. Has a horrible temper, and is easily offended when it is pointed out to him. Likes to say, nobody likes me, I have no friends. (Probably cause he has such a bad temper) but you can tell he likes to be mean, maybe cause it gives him a power trip.
Anyway to say all of this in formal psycological terms?

I have known both these people for 20 years. They are like this... always have been. not a reaction to anything... they just are.

1. NORMAL - who the hell likes to admit they're wrong??? Sure, it's very brave & nobel of those who can, but in reality we all like to think we're right.
2. NORMAL - it's called personality. If he "likes" to be mean, then that's his choice, & therefore he cops the consequences of having no friends. His temper reflects his current mood, so he's angry.
Why do you have the need to label these people with a disorder????
It's human nature hon. None of us are perfect you know!
Here's a Q for you: "What is a psychological term for the following disorder? A person who picks at the flaws of her friends & tries to label them with psychiatric disorders"

there are a thousand possble answers to this, you would need far more details about the person to make such a desion. he/she may just be reacting to a stressful situation or that may just be a bad trait in their personality.

Malignant narcissist. These are highly dangerous people who wreak havoc on others. They are selfish, cruel, and manipulative. Avoid at all costs.

Does trying to diagnose people who aren't your patients make you fun to be with?
