- 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, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

On May 8, Banks announced
she was suspending her Twitter account:

"(I)'m finally making the decision to eject from social media...(A)merican media culture is honestly so f***ing disgusting and junky and complaining about it is not going to change it. reading s***, seeing stupid ass articles and dumb b****es/bros has just really filled me up with a lot of bad feelings.
It's been a great couple of years, sharing opinions and having conversations, but i think i will be so much happier just NOT looking at this. (Americans have the WORST taste in everything.) So my friends, its time to say goodbye once and for all to this account. This account will exist no more. Time for a bit of Mystery... Goodbye."

On May 11, Twitter deactivated Banks' account -- and there was
much rejoicing throughout the cyber land.
People who believe they have no faults have at least one.
