Eric was Megalomaniac?

For you, was Eric could have Megalomania? He had several fantasies of power and relevance, said that "he felt like a God and that everyone was OFFICIALLY below him." Of course, I know there are people who believe that Eric's diary is "fake" (Although there is no "proof" of it), but I also know there are a number of contradictions in his diary (Eric's first "topic" in his diary that in the world there is no "originality for nothing." For those who do not remember, he says: "Anyone who says they are not imitators and then to wear different clothes and different to do ... they have yet seen on TV or in a movie or in everyday
life No originality. How JO MOM jokes are not there and how many of you think are original and not imitated. KEINE (None - Ger) ", being that much of his writings are" paraphrases "of quotes in films and etc ...
Ex: Eric Quotes Natural Born Killers when he writes: "How dare you think that and you belong to the same species" - much the same says many killer Mickey Knox in the film against the presenter of a crime show, just before he kills him
I know there is little evidence for each statement, but it is very likely that you know how Eric's diary works. The real question is whether you believe it was Megalomaniac or not, simple kkk
Thank you who to respond!

I don't think he was a megalomaniac. Another term for this is delusions of grandeur and according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders this means that the patient has "grossly exaggerated beliefs of self-worth, power, knowledge, identity, or exceptional relationship to a divinity or famous person".
These are described as "fantastical" beliefs, like, way over the top beliefs.

1. Self worth- In my opinion, Eric's self-worth was in the toilet so that's strike one.

2. Power- He craved power but he knew he didn't have ("maybe you should have listened to me more, given me more respect")

3. Knowledge- He writes about how he knows more than other people but it doesn't seem as over the top as would be required of a person with delusions of grandeur.

4. Identity- this one would mean that he thinks that he is somebody, like a famous musician, actor, or God. While he refers to himself as a god often, his expressions of low self esteem show he doesn't really believe he is one.

5. Exceptional relationship to a divinity or famous person- there's no indicate he believed either of these things.

Nah he was so fucking godlike.

I have a question about Eric. I have been searching the net for some answers, but it isnt that clear to me.
Most say (also official reports) that he was a psychopath, but it is said that;

A) for that diagnose you have to be older (like 25) and
B) psychopaths dont kill themselves

Also the AD he was taking couldve (just like James case) triggered his behaviour, no?

Thanks for any reply.

Who says this, exactly?

Hi QuestionMark. I have the link to the site where they discuss his psychological state, but because I am a new member I cannot post the link (yet). PM isnt possible either atm lol.

You can try to visit quora.com/Was-Eric-Harris-a-psychopath-1

I see.

I personally don't agree with what's presented in the link you shared. Currently there aren't any agreed upon subtypes when it comes to ASPD, so saying "this kind of person with ASPD won't do this or will do this" is just a bit absurd to claim considering that not everything is known.

Thanks, yeah they even dont agree on that forum, so it is not black & white.
