another disorder which leads to sinkie behaviour is : narcissistic personality disorder
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), an overwhelming need for admiration, and usually a complete lack of empathy toward others. People with this disorder often believe they are of primary importance in everybody’s life or to anyone they meet. While this pattern of behavior may be appropriate for a king in 16th Century England, it is generally considered inappropriate for most ordinary people today.
People with narcissistic personality disorder often display snobbish, disdainful, or patronizing attitudes. For example, an individual with this disorder may complain about a clumsy waiter’s “rudeness” or “stupidity” or conclude a medical evaluation with a condescending evaluation of the physician.
In laypeople terms, someone with this disorder may be described simply as a “narcissist” or as someone with “narcissism.” Both of these terms generally refer to someone with narcissistic personality disorder.
A personality disorder is an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates from the norm of the individual’s culture. The pattern is seen in two or more of the following areas: cognition; affect; interpersonal functioning; or impulse control. The enduring pattern is inflexible and pervasive across a broad range of personal and social situations. It typically leads to significant distress or impairment in social, work or other areas of functioning. The pattern is stable and of long duration, and its onset can be traced back to early adulthood or adolescence.
Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:
Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
Requires excessive admiration
Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
Because personality disorders describe long-standing and enduring patterns of behavior, they are most often diagnosed in adulthood. It is uncommon for them to be diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, because a child or teen is under constant development, personality changes and maturation. However, if it is diagnosed in a child or teen, the features must have been present for at least 1 year.
Narcissistic personality disorder is more prevalent in males than females, and is thought to occur in up to 6.2 percent of the general population.
Like most personality disorders, narcissistic personality disorder typically will decrease in intensity with age, with many people experiencing few of the most extreme symptoms by the time they are in the 40s or 50s.

How is Narcissistic Personality Disorder Diagnosed?
Personality disorders such as narcissistic personality disorder are typically diagnosed by a trained mental health professional, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. Family physicians and general practitioners are generally not trained or well-equipped to make this type of psychological diagnosis. So while you can initially consult a family physician about this problem, they should refer you to a mental health professional for diagnosis and treatment. There are no laboratory, blood or genetic tests that are used to diagnose personality disorder.
Many people with narcissistic personality disorder don’t seek out treatment. People with personality disorders, in general, do not often seek out treatment until the disorder starts to significantly interfere or otherwise impact a person’s life. This most often happens when a person’s coping resources are stretched too thin to deal with stress or other life events.
A diagnosis for narcissistic personality disorder is made by a mental health professional comparing your symptoms and life history with those listed here. They will make a determination whether your symptoms meet the criteria necessary for a personality disorder diagnosis.
Causes of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Researchers today don’t know what causes narcissistic personality disorder. There are many theories, however, about the possible causes of narcissistic personality disorder. Most professionals subscribe to a biopsychosocial model of causation — that is, the causes of are likely due to biological and genetic factors, social factors (such as how a person interacts in their early development with their family and friends and other children), and psychological factors (the individual’s personality and temperament, shaped by their environment and learned coping skills to deal with stress). This suggests that no single factor is responsible — rather, it is the complex and likely intertwined nature of all three factors that are important. If a person has this personality disorder, research suggests that there is a slightly increased risk for this disorder to be “passed down” to their children.
Treatment of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Treatment of narcissistic personality disorder typically involves long-term psychotherapy with a therapist that has experience in treating this kind of personality disorder. Medications may also be prescribed to help with specific troubling and debilitating symptoms.

This part is funny:
They expect others to go along with their plans and idea and it doesn't matter what their plans and ideas are. They expect you to immediately to go along with it and expect the going along to be immediate too. why? because they are brilliant and if you don't know that, they will remind you that they are .
They are so hyper-focus on themselves and so they think others are also hyper-focus on themselves.. Perfect hit the dot of sinkie behaviour.

Now is the time again to talk about someone who always think that he is right, or called narcissism.
--------------
"The first step involves self-awareness. The narcissist often notices that something is wrong with him and with his life – but he never admits it. He prefers to invent elaborate constructions why that which is wrong with him – is really right. This is called: "Cognitive Dissonance". The narcissist consistently convinces himself that everyone else is wrong, deficient, lacking, and incapable. He may be exceptional and made to suffer for it – but this does not mean that he is in the wrong. On the contrary, history will surely prove him right as it has done so many other idiosyncratic figures.
"This is the first and, by far, the most critical step: will the narcissist admit, be forced, or convinced to concede that he is absolutely and unconditionally wrong, that something is very amiss in his life, that he is in need of urgent, professional, help and that, in the absence of such help, things will only get worse? Having crossed this Rubicon, the narcissist will be more open and amenable to constructive suggestions and assistance."
Narcissists believe they are perfect and have rather strong defense mechanisms to avoid having to confront this obvious error in the perception of human nature. Admitting narcissism is contrary to the nature of the disease.
I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist, but I have read quite a bit about narcissism and I have dealt with a number of people in highly stressful situations whose medical records I have reviewed to corroborate that they are indeed narcissists, so I know whereof I speak: a narcissist will not admit to being a narcissist, there is no cure for narcissism, the most that can be accomplished with a very smart narcissist (this won't work on dumb ones) is to acquaint them with the definition and let them know that you won't put up with that kind of behavior and be firm.
It is true that refusal to admit narcisissim is not in the DSM II or DSM IV, but that, IMHO, is merely because there is the more general refusal to admit fault or defect of any kind. In my experience, a narcissist that admits any kind of defect or mistake is insincere and will back out of it at the earliest opportunity, claiming some kind of fraud or duress or physical illness.
---------------
Sorry to differ with your opinion, but I AM a psychologist; people with narcissism, at least those who enter therapy, often ARE aware of and concerned about it; and people who take therapy seriously CAN get better, even those with personality disorders, including narcissism.

for me, i just tell that sinkie ass hole to drop dead and die.

According to the DSM-IV, you need to display at least five of these qualities to meet the diagnostic threshold.
1. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
From the opening scene with his girlfriend Erika, where he sneers at Boston University and condescendingly tells her he’ll give her the opportunity to mingle with people she wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to meet, to his disdain for the lawyers who question him, Zuckerberg behaves with consistent arrogance. He clearly feels himself to be above everyone in intelligence and entitled to treat other people in any way he sees fit. Contempt is the hallmark of his character.
2. Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
The Winklevoss twins represent a privileged, Waspy way of life that Zuckerberg clearly envies; in addition, he will never possess their athletic ability and social ease, qualities he believes his ex-girlfriend Erika admires. In the first scene, when telling Erika about the powerful final clubs and the importance of belonging to one them, he clearly aches to be part of that system, not a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi, the Jewish fraternity. When Eduardo receives an invitation to be “punched” by the Phoenix Club, a prestigious and storied campus organization at Harvard, Zuckerberg dismisses the invitation as “a diversity thing,” thus spoiling Eduardo’s pleasure. In a way, you can view his treatment of Eduardo and the Winklevoss twins as triumphing over them, a classic strategy for mitigating unbearable envy.
3 Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
In the very first scene, Zuckerberg demonstrates his complete inability to identify with or understand the experience of others. He insults Erika by belittling her school and treating her with condescension; then, when she’s upset by his behavior, he repeatedly asks her if she’s being serious. He needs to be told because he lacks the ability to understand via empathy. Only when she at last convinces him that she’s truly angry does he apologize; it’s apparent that he issues this apology merely as a tactical measure, because he knows this is what you’re supposed to do in order to mollify someone under these circumstances, and not because he feels true remorse. For the remainder of the film he displays consistent disregard for the feelings of virtually every other person he knows, including his best friend Eduardo.
4. Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
Regardless of the merit of their subsequent legal claims, the Winklevoss twins are consistently dismissed, ignored and out-maneuvered by Zuckerberg. They invited him to join their venture as a programmer; never once does he acknowledge any sense of gratitude or responsibility to them. Despite the fact that Eduardo has been a loyal and supportive friend who bankrolled their operation, Zuckerberg ruthlessly cheats him out of his ownership interest in the company they founded together. As Eduardo points out to him late in the film, Zuckerberg has no other friends.
5. Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
Zuckerberg clearly feels entitled to wealth, fame and success. He expects people to conform to his expectations, move wherever he likes and do what he tells them. Without consulting his partner, he decides to move their company to California and expects Eduardo to fly out when summoned. He thinks he’s more brilliant than everyone else (with the exception of Sean Parker, founder of Napster) and is therefore entitled to do things his own way, no matter how it makes other people feel or the inconvenience it may cause them. He demonstrates one type of insensitive, narcissistic behavior after another.
We’ve met the minimum five criteria for the diagnosis. In my experience, whether in Narcissistic Personality Disorder or some other syndrome, these five traits often show up together. Let’s call this configuration “pathological narcissism”; in general, it is characterized by grandiosity, a lack of empathy, poisonous envy, a sense of entitlement and a tendency to manipulate and exploit other people.
There are several other possible diagnostic criteria one can meet for Narcissistic Personality Disorder; two of them raise some interesting questions.
6. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance; and
7. Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
What if you really are the smartest person in the room, or in almost any room? What if your achievements truly are extraordinary by any sense of the word? Are you narcissistic if you recognize the truth and expect others to acknowledge it as well? What if only someone as intelligent and mentally quick as you can truly understand you? Does it make you an elitist to insist upon that fact? Throughout the film, I was often torn as I listened to Zuckerberg, particularly in the scenes where he squares off with the lawyers: I found his contempt grating but at the same time, I thought that virtually every observation he made about them was true. From my point of view, he displayed superior logic and rhetorical skill in almost every exchange.

Look who is the narcissistic one, keep educating us on narcissism when no one here is interested and keep reaffirming himself here that he knows best and is always right. Just want to insist he is right that it is a form of sinkie behaviour coined by himself. Why? All becos he is a mudland chinese foreigh trash.

The bitch is likely not a local but a foreigner living in SG. The FTsh want to live in style but cannot afford to pay.
Locals got class and style. They frequent buffets like going to their kitchens daily. They know the rules and will pay up for unconsumed foods. Only those FTsh new to buffets are pissed off by such policy of paying for unconsumed foods. Blame the pappies for allowing such FTsh into the country.
