i just saw the last episode in season 4 and it freaked me out when Rory was explaining to Lorelai about how it was ok that she stole Lindsey's man and whatnot. what a psycho!

It definitely stems from a superiority complex, and add to that her daddy issues which I think is why she's not good with relationships with men.

As the series goes on, it really seems like she has something similar to Narcissistic personality disorder. She has a very inflated sense of self and doesn't think about people's feelings outside of her own very often.

Rory didn't have any mental health diagnoss. She became increasingly spoiled and self-centered due to all the praise lavished on her by her family and the town, and didn't handle criticism well. This was due to poor parenting, not a psychiatric illness

So, affluenza? Lavish praise privilege instead of financial privilege? Though she had that too.
