I have a friend who always love to praise himself..He always say that he's very handsome and with very great body..He stands in front of the mirror and talking to himself.. He's not crazy of course but he sounds like one lol..I'm just wondering if my friend is a narcissistic.
What is narcissistic? Is this a disorder?

Narcissism is a word that describes someone who is vain and obsessed with their self-image.
If I remember correctly the word comes from the Greek myth of Narcissus- a goodlooking Greek man who rejected Echo. His curse was to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. Obviously this self-love was doomed to failure and Narcissus changed into a flower.
It can be a disorder, I believe it is called NPD. I'm sure some googling will enable you to find out if your friend meets the right criteria. I wouldn't worry too much, some narcissism isn't a bad thing!
