2. He is not aware . The person who suffers it does not usually realize this personality disorder by itself.

3. Other disorders arise . Those who suffer from egodisty have other secondary problems such as anxiety, conflicts and breakups with family and friends.

4. It needs a change . The person with this disorder feels a discomfort that borders on making an immediate change.
