I always thought everyone was happy
during the holidays, no matter what.


Most people are, but some aren't.


While everybody else opens up presents,
they're opening up their wrists.


Cheery thought.


It's true. The suicide rate's
always the highest around the holidays.


Now I'm depressed.


Do you ever get depressed on Christmas?


I don't celebrate Christmas.


Are you Hindu or something?


No, I just don't like to.


What's not to like?
I mean, it's a lot of fun.


God!
Say you hate Thanksgiving,
and nobody cares.

Billy Peltzer: What could you do?

Ruby Deagle: I'll catch the beast myself. He'll get what he deserves, a slow painful death.Maybe I'll put him in my spin-drier on high heat.

Nought shall go ill;

Synopsis

Picard summons Wesley Crusher to the Bridge, where he informs the youngster that he has been accepted to Starfleet Academy. He further honors Wesley by asking him to accompany him on a final mission to help mediate a dispute on Pentarus V. When the U.S.S. Enterprise is called to investigate another nearby crisis, Picard and Wesley proceed alone, traveling with a representative of the planet, Dirgo, in his dilapidated shuttle. En route, the shuttle fails, forcing an emergency landing on a desert-like moon. Upon learning Dirgo is not traveling with water, Picard positions a makeshift arrow in the sand to indicate their direction and heads toward a mountain range for shelter.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_%28psychology%29

A fantasy is a situation imagined by an individual or group, which does not correspond with reality but expresses certain desires or aims of its creator. Fantasies typically involve situations which are impossible (such as the existence of magic powers) or highly unlikely. Fantasies can also be sexual in nature.

Psychoanalysis

In the theory of psychoanalysis, phantasy is used to describe unconscious desires, fears, drives etc. Sigmund Freud used the German word 'Phantasie', which could be translated as 'fantasy', but the meaning is clearly not the same as the everyday meaning and is usually printed as 'phantasy'. This should be strongly contrasted with delusion.

Literary references

An adult who constantly seems to be living in a fantasy world may be considered a Walter Mitty character.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), is defined as a mental illness primarily characterized by extreme focus on oneself, and is a maladaptive, rigid, and persistent condition that may cause significant distress and functional impairment. The term was first used by Heinz Kohut in 1971[1] and is a form of pathological narcissism acknowledged in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1980, in the edition known as DSM-III.

It is classed within the cluster B group of personality disorders in DSM IV-TR along with Borderline- , Histrionic- and Antisocial personality disorders. Most people fulfilling criteria for one personality disorder fulfill those for one or more others.


Diagnostic criteria

At least five of the following are necessary for a diagnosis (as with many DSM diagnoses, they must form a pervasive pattern; for example, a person who shows these criteria only in one or two relationships or situations would not properly be diagnosed with NPD):

has a grandiose sense of self-importance

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 other special people

requires excessive admiration

strong sense of entitlement

takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

lacks empathy

is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her

arrogant behavior
