Prodigy Narcissist
Child prodigies are often dehumanized and instrumentalized by their parents, who see them as fulfilling their own dreams and wishes. This can lead to the child feeling entitled to special treatment and lacking in empathy, compassion, and social skills. As adults, they may become narcissistic and misjudge the extent of their accomplishments, leading to strained relationships with others. This creates a vicious cycle of hurt and resentment.
Narcissism and Syphilis
Cephalis, a sexually transmitted disease, can go dormant for years before affecting the brain in a condition known as general paresis. Brain tissue is gradually destroyed by the tiny organisms that cause Cephalis, causing pneumonia, dementia, megalomania, delusions of grandeur, and paranoia. Cephalitic patients in the tertiary, brain-consuming stage are often described as brutal, suspicious, delusional, moody, irritable, raging, lacking empathy, grandiose, and demanding, which can be misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder combined with narcissistic and paranoid personality disorders. It is easy to confuse tertiary syphilis with personality disorders, especially the narcissistic and paranoid ones.
Narcissist: Legally Insane?
Narcissists are not legally insane as they are not prone to irresistible impulses or dissociation. They are capable of controlling their behavior and actions, but they regard it as a waste of their time and do not care about other people’s feelings or needs. Narcissists are perceptive and sensitive to human behavior but do not care about humans as they are dispensable and interchangeable. While they may victimize and abuse others, they do it carelessly and absent-mindedly, unlike psychopaths who are sadistic and enjoy what they are doing. Narcissists are shapeshifters and have no sense of personal continuity, making them a walking compilation of personalities.
Narcissist Therapy Notes
The notes of a therapist’s first session with a patient diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, Sam V, reveal that he presents with anhedonia and dysphoria, complains of people’s stupidity and selfishness, and is a hermit who fears being mocked and ridiculed. Sam is convinced that people envy him and are out to get him, and he feels that his work is not appreciated because of his elitist nature. He is disarmingly self-aware and readily lists his weaknesses and faults, but only in order to preempt risk scrutiny or to fish for compliments.
Narcissist: Life as a Film
The narcissist experiences life as a nightmare due to the divergent functionality of the false self and the true self. The true self is the original personality that was suppressed and supplanted by the false self, which is incapable of feeling or experiencing. The narcissist dissociates and cuts off parts of their life and portions of their experiences, leading to detachment and estrangement from themselves. The narcissist lives vicariously through the good offices of the false self, sacrificing their own life to please and appease their master.
School Shooting Psychology
Healthy narcissism is common and welcome in adolescence, but it can transform into a malignant form under certain circumstances. Adolescents who are consistently mocked and bullied by peers, role models, and socialization agents are prone to find the core in grandiose fantasies of omnipotence, omniscience, and revenge. Pampered adolescents, who serve as mere extensions of their smothering parents and their unrealistic expectations, are equally liable to develop grandiosity in the sense of entitlement, which are incommensurate with their real-life achievements. In societies that are subjected to terrorism, to crime, to civil unrest, religious strife, economic crisis, immigration, widespread job insecurity, war, rampant corruption, and so on, narcissists come to the fore, they become pillars of the society, and they become
Spree Shooter’s Psychology
Spray-shooters are typically loners with deficient interpersonal skills, and their dysfunction affects all aspects of their lives. They are in love with violence and blame their anger on their ultimate victims, not themselves. Spray-shooters often target despised minorities as scapegoats, and during the attack, they feel elated and relieved. The shooter usually takes their life as an act of defiance, and the timing of the spray-shooting is often determined by a life crisis.
Narcissist as Adrenaline Junkie
Narcissistic supply is the drug of choice for narcissists, and they become addicted to the gratifying effects of it. When they are unable to secure normal narcissistic supply, they resort to abnormal narcissistic supply, such as behaving recklessly or succumbing to substance abuse. Narcissists faced with a chronic state of deficient narcissistic supply become criminals or race car drivers or gamblers or soldiers or investigative journalists or police officers. The prognosis for this particular behavior in narcissism, reckless behavior, adrenaline seeking, thrill seeking, is pretty good since the brain is plastic, and these processes are reversible.
Gullible Narcissist Victimized and Abused
Narcissists are more gullible than the average person because they live in a fantasy world of their own making, where they are at the center of the universe. They are prone to magical thinking and believe they are immune to the consequences of their actions. Narcissists feel entitled to everything and are easily duped, cheated, and deceived. They attract abuse and are often targeted by stalkers and persecutors, usually mentally ill people who develop a fixation on the narcissist.
Victims Become Narcissists: Contagious Narcissism
Victims of narcissistic abuse can become narcissistic themselves, adopting the role of a professional victim. These individuals become self-centered, abusive, and exploitative, and their existence and identity rest solely on their victimhood. This is known as narcissistic contagion or narcissism by proxy, and it is a danger that should be avoided by every victim and survivor of abuse. Once the victim starts to abuse, they never stop, and their abuse becomes indiscriminate and affects everyone around them.
