Does Vivian show Signs of Narcissism?

I'm not a metal health specialist so I'm just writing 'signs of Narcissism' but having had a Narcissist best friend for 5 years I'm pretty sure Vivian is indeed a Narcissist.

Those of who don't know about Narcissism can refer to the following image and google for more information about who are narcissists & why you should beware of narcissists.

P.s. - i learnt about Narcissism after already having suffered a lot cause of my narcissist best friend (who I considered my elder brother). So my grudge with Vivian is personal

No he is not a Narcissist. Narcissistic personality are people who give themselves too much self importance , like being praised and being the centre of attention.

I dnt think Vivian has all of that. He is just plain egoistic. Saying this cz of all the initial talks of his career and all.

Based on the description he is not a narcissist

There are many pointers in Vivian's behaviour pointing towards Narcissism:

1. While rest of housemates have a common coffee he got bb to provide him his special coffee -Superior & deserving of special treatment
2. He talked in details about his stature and career success (ex in getting visa, signing contracts, pen etc) - grandiosity
3. He walks away when someone is talking to him - cold treatment
4. Envious of KV (Toing man) - envy
5. Acts like a king of his group. Everyone has to listen to him. Grandiosity & Arrogance
6. Pulls down and berates other people to feel superior. Superiority complex
7. Pretends empathy but fails at it - tries consoling people (Shilpa when she was not eating) but leaves the effort when it would seem like he's bending too much. Didn't fight even for basic ration when Mishra was in jail while their group enjoyed luxury items too- lack of empathy even though he pretends to have.
8. Talks in a manner that is very pretentious and showoff-ish - grandiosity
9. Expert manipulator (shilpa & Bagga) - manipulation
10. Uses Mishra to continue his fights and leaves himself. Is Using the group for his support against the other housemates. Joined that group for that only. Using people
11. Never accepts he may be wrong. Instead lays the blame on all others making them feel it's they who have wronged him - Gaslighting
12. Remains only with people who praise him and don't disagree with him. Desire for praise and admiration

There could be more pointers but the above pointers i remembered immediately.

1. While rest of housemates have a common coffee he got bb to provide him his special coffee -Superior & deserving of special treatment but he sacrificed the same coffee for others
2. He talked in details about his stature and career success (ex in getting visa, signing contracts, pen etc) - grandiosity
3. He walks away when someone is talking to him - cold treatment he walks away when the argument gets nasty. But if he starts anything I have never seen him walking out till mud slinging doesn't start
4. Envious of KV (Toing man) - envy ek baar bitching karne se aur tilli lagane se I can't call him jealous. He has grudges against him after he heard kv didn't consider him his best friend
5. Acts like a king of his group. Everyone has to listen to him. Grandiosity & Arrogance ye kab hua??
6. Pulls down and berates other people to feel superior. Superiority complex Jaisa karoge waisa bharoge. People would keep saying shit and he won't say anything?? Usko bhi to neecha dikhaya jata hai
7. Pretends empathy but fails at it - tries consoling people (Shilpa when she was not eating) but leaves the effort when it would seem like he's bending too much. Didn't fight even for basic ration when Mishra was in jail while their group enjoyed luxury items too- lack of empathy even though he pretends to have. When did he have luxury ration?? He made ate ka paratha out of the basic ration and ate it. Ye kaha se galat ho gaya?? And he ensured that everyone atleast gets basic ration. Once avinash said he won't give basic but after that everyone eat the food of next day and vivian ensured that everyone gets basic ration the next day. And he takes care of everyone and makes sure that everyone eats. Shilpa was not in a mood to eat but in the last he and others made her eat the food. And if he really never had any empathy then he wouldn't have taken a stand for chahat against others
8. Talks in a manner that is very pretentious and showoff-ish - grandiosity His attitude is fine. Sometimes his tone may sound rough but that's how he speaks
9. Expert manipulator (shilpa & Bagga) - manipulation Again when did this happen??
10. Uses Mishra to continue his fights and leaves himself. Is Using the group for his support against the other housemates. Joined that group for that only. Using people Not at all. Infact avinash has started being patient under him. He cares for them like his little siblings
11. Never accepts he may be wrong. Instead lays the blame on all others making them feel it's they who have wronged him - Gaslighting he never accepts his mistakes but many of them don't accept it. I have never seen him gaslighting
12. Remains only with people who praise him and don't disagree with him. Desire for praise and admiration us hisab se avinash wouldn't have become his little bro since avinash directly confronts him when he disagrees with him

There could be more pointers but the above pointers i remembered immediately.

I do think he is narcissistic but trying hard to portray otherwise

He's not narcissistic.

He cant have fantasy of successful when he's successful.

He has no problem accepting someone is better than him when they actually are. For example he was placing Ravi Dubey above himself today in live feed, was praising karan kundra.

He wasn’t jealous of anyone. And it wasn’t his misconception some are jealous of him as even they admitted it.

VD is just OCD not a narcissist.He wants to be funny sometimes but doesn't know how to. So he has both jealousy and attraction for all those who are very social, funny and popular.

Hell No. he is very down to earth.

Narcicism is there in Rajat & Chahat.
