This and other personality disorders are now thought to be a product of attachment issues as children. Typically, what happens with personality disorders is that there is a "cluster" of symptoms or characteristics of more than one, but one with more matching criteria. As a general rule, what they all have in common are very fragile egos due to not attaching in a healthy way to an adult. Narcissistic personality disorder compensates by inflating their ego and having little regard for others. Ironically, these egos are also very easily shattered.
