Listening to this guy has helped me immensely through difficult weeks lately:

He is very gifted at threading gracefully some hidden truths in emotionally damaging relationships with narcissists and manipulators.

This, in particular, is a such a rarely discussed topic. He explains it very well—and made me laugh and lighten up, because the same impressions are shared from the depths of my intuitions.

The biggest problem with the increasingly dehumanizing but equally hidden plague that narcissism has become within our modern society is its inadequate understanding of how its repercussions influence so negatively our human relationships.

Narc gravitates to narc. #Narcissism https://www.emptywheel.net/2023/09/04/the-finding-out-part-proud-boys-face-sentencing/

Ich bin so müde von Leuten, die verletzende Sprüche kloppen oder irgendwas, was man getan oder gesagt haben soll, in den Raum zu werfen und einen mit Selbstzweifeln und Rätselraten zurücklassen. Und sich am Ende an nichts erinnern wollen. Das ist psychische Folter, nicht mehr und nicht weniger. #notjustsad #narcissism #narcissisticabuse

They are made in their god’s image.

I’m old enough to remember when not just *rape*, but even pride and lying were called serious sin by evangelicals…

#narcissism #sociopath #trump The world can’t run the risk of The Donald being back in the White House. We all need to read Bill Eddy’s fantastic book “Why we elect narcissists and sociopaths - and how we can stop!” I’m on my 3rd time through, and I highly recommend it. It’s about more than politics.

Donald's narcissism
Justice for all denied
His complaints misguided

#Narcissism and #SelfEsteem Are Very Different

Why I used to lie: get inside my head as a diagnosed #narcissist

"You end up in a place with NPD where you have so many cognitive distortions and you have been doing mental gymnastics for so long inside your own head to protect yourself from reality, from being hurt, from feeling scared, from feeling real emotions, that you end up in this weird distorted place where you are in a hall of mirrors and don't know what is up and down. At that point I genuinely could feel like I was being gaslighted, when I was the one doing the #gaslighting, because I genuinely felt like a victim, I was SO insulted, I felt unjustifiably attacked.

So, I lied for one of two reasons: One, I genuinely believed in my lies and I was doing insane mental gymnastics to protect myself from scary reality which would fuck with my ego, which would fuck with my sense of self, which would make me feel worthless, which would me want to die.

The other reason I lied was because I just fucking had lack of empathy."

"What Is #Narcissism? Science Confronts a Widely Misunderstood Phenomenon

Researchers debate whether grandiosity always masks vulnerability"

Scientific American September 2023 Issue

"Not being able to live the idealized versions of herself—which include visions of being surrounded by friends and fans who love and idolize her for her beauty and talent—leaves Tessa profoundly distressed. “Sometimes I simultaneously feel above everything, above life itself, and also like a piece of trash on the side of the road,” she says. “I feel like I'm constantly trying to hide and cover things up. I'm constantly stressed and exhausted. I'm also constantly trying to build an inner self so I don't have to feel that way anymore.”"

#ai, there's plenty of #university/#research with faces graded for "mood" or "trustworthyness" or "intimidation". You could make a really helpful interactive #app that will help you master very subtle emotional cues. Spaced repetition or maybe Face Invaders, whatever helps you learn.

Or if you're just gonna catch up with my client on facechat. Smile slider... Disapproval slider...

In any case you're covered if you just want to manipulate #naive people.

WTAF is a "TikTok Star"? Do they hold awards shows or something? Who makes these decisions? My guess is people self-appoint themselves as supreme beings of social media sites, and the media is stupid enough to follow along.

Can #Narcissism Fuel Grit?

The combination of #narcissistic #grandiosity and #vulnerability can fuel #persistence.

People with narcissism “may be grandiose or self-loathing, extraverted or socially isolated, captains of industry or unable to maintain steady employment, model citizens or prone to antisocial activities,” according to a review paper on diagnosing the disorder.

New posting! It was an honour and an absolute pleasure talking with Bruno Lemaitre about the impact of #narcissism on #science.

Bruno discovered the role of the #Toll pathway in the #Drosophila immune response to fungal infections, but the #Nobel prize went to his postdoc boss, Jules Hoffmann.

Besides the interview, there's also a link for the FREE download of his book on the topic. 👇

A reminder about evangelical #JennaEllis : I know people like her: mean girls doesn’t cover how cruel.

And despite evidence and her admission in court she lied, she went on Twitter to claim she isn’t a liar, and accepted this job.

Evangelicals like these are devoid of appropriate shame.

“Humility? What’s that.” 🤮
