Again, this was shared on another board about another youtuber, but read the NPD w/OCD characteristics list. It's Anna. I don't think I've read a better description of her behavior.
Recently a teenager came into my office complaining about the anxiety they were experiencing from their Obsess

| Characteristic | NPD w/ OCD | OCD |
| Motive | OCD behavior reinforces and justifies NPD behavior | OCD behavior is done as coping mechanism when feeling out of control |
| Superior | OCD behavior is done as a visual demonstration of their superior status (they like being thought of as outdoing their competition) | OCD behavior is done to ease anxiety even though they most likely are doing things a better way |
| Fantasizes | Fantasizes that the OCD behavior proves their worth and desire for power, success, beauty or ideal love | Fantasizes that the OCD behavior is not severe and hides the full extent of their disorder |
| Admiration | Performs OCD behaviors to gain admiration and praise from others | Believes their mild OCD behaviors should be admired but not the severe aspects |
| Special | OCD behavior is a way of further distinguishing an NPD from the pack and placing them in special status | Knows the OCD behavior isolates them; doesn’t like being thought of as special |
| Empathy | No concern or empathy for how their OCD behavior negatively impacts others | Constantly feels bad for how their OCD behavior impacts others |
| Entitled | Demands automatic compliance from others for OCD behaviors regardless of other’s beliefs or the impact | Demands compliance from others to ease anxiety and has a hard time seeing the negative impact on others |
| Exploitative | Exploits other’s lack of OCD behaviors as evidence of perfectionism | Takes advantage of other’s compliance with their behavioral OCD nature to justify their continued behavior |
| Jealous | Believes others are jealous of their OCD behaviors and methods | Is jealous of others who do not have OCD behavior |
| Arrogant | Is proud and boastful of their OCD behaviors, frequently encourages others to be like them | Is prideful of the mild OCD behaviors but shameful of the more severe behaviors |
While cognitive behavioral therapy is highly effective for the treatment of OCD, it is not as efficient when the person is also narcissistic. Rather the underlying narcissistic characteristics need to tackled first before addressing the OCD behaviors.

he is so immature it’s embarrassing to watch
Maybe she's blocking those who don't like/comment on her photos..?!
I really couldn’t believe it the other week when Anna was on her insta stories saying how she was asking her followers tips on basically getting Andrea to be More close to her...and I just couldn’t believe how she said- people suggested spending more one on one time with him?!? To then say and you know what? It worked you guuyss! Err seriously since when do you have to ask internet followers to tell you to spend one on one time and show your child more attention?!? I genuinely believe they are so wrapped up in their own social media worlds they can’t remember the basics of parenting. I would be genuinely embarrassed to ask people on the internet to be told to spend more time with my child!
