it is not C the narcissistic . narcisisstic personality disorder people feel the grandiosity. you arenot merely important , you are the reason why the whole world exists......kindof thinking. here in this vignette, patient has displayed, pervasive paronoia, suspected that receptionist is deliberately putting him in a freezing room (which she did not do) , believed that his colleagues are against him,(which is not true) and then agian suspected the doctor is trying to make money, and told that all doctors are like this. so, he is paranoid, not just at work, but in other places also. you dont catch a personality disorder, YOU ARE ALWAYS ONE. THEY ARE EGO SYNTONI, " I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM SUCKER, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM" attittude. this persnon fits into PARANOID personality disorder 100%.
