For almost everyone, vanity starts at birth. It's a natural part of being treated as the center of your world by other family members. Most experts on infantile behavior acknowledge this. But after a few years, as the outside world becomes an increasing part of a child's experience, an unpleasant reality kicks in.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.adjustable-bed-center.com/adb/Article/Does-Fame-make-you-Vain-/27151"><DIV>
At Cornell Medical School, a professor of psychiatry called Robert B. Millman studied the condition of Narcissism named after the Greek youth. He believes that celebrities are victims of an what he terms the Acquired and Situational narcissistic condition. As he explains it, celebrity narcissism is acquired because unlike mainstream narcissists, they become full of themselves in adulthood. (Unless they're child stars, I suppose). It's situational because the condition is observed in a social situation and impacted through societal recognition.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E8D9388B-7FEC-4EDE-B365-C058001415C4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
