I believe the correct answer is: narcissistic personality disorder.

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder characterized with a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior of certain individuals. Individuals diagnosed with this disorder express exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and lack of empathy.
