Narcissism, it's actually more than just being famous. Fame is just part of it. They have a really big ego and think so great of themselves. They always to try look good and want to be praised. They hate and can't stand criticism too. The thing is, this is actually a personality disorder. Ironically, underlying this big ego is actually a low self esteem.

Yes, that too. They want attention and they want to be praised because they thrive for affirmation. Though it's normal to have some narcissistic triats, there are others who has this to the extremes as a (pathological) personality disorder. It is classified under Cluster B of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as published by the American Psychiatric Association.
