What surprised me was how fast she went from being embarrassed living in a house with servants to ordering them around and complaining about the slightest mistake.

You should really look at the DSM 5 alternative model, because what you’ve described has very little in common with theoretical models of NPD
That’s interesting. I’m always open to new perspectives. You sound like you have some experience in the field. Can I ask, are you a psychologist?
No, just a genius with an interest in ethical science
