Eh, there's still a big difference between an irrational belief that an individual feels they have to adhere to, and an irrational belief that an individual forces everyone else to adhere to. That's where the narcissism comes from. You could say there's a bit of egocentrism in someone thinking that their irrational rituals would affect their uncle's health, but it's not narcissism as its understood and defined. It's more of an irrational anxiety and detachment from reality. There's definitely delusion involved in all cases though.
I can see where you're coming from, and thank you for explaining your perspective, but I just don't agree I suppose.
Its fine if you don't, because I also don't think it is really the answer most times.
I simply don't agree with people picking the "evilest, worst sounding" personality disorder that a study in Iran, a country you'd never trust to begin with, and running with it as gospel.
So my entire point was less that I had the answer and more "don't trust studies wholesale because they say what you want them to say."

That's an entirely fair position to take, and good advice to give.
