Narcissism running amuck

It`s natural to label a leader that you don`t like as a narcissist, I did when Obama was in.   But there seems to be an epidemic of narcissism in everyday life, whether road rage or school shootings, fueled by prescription emotion controlling drugs and Facebook, everyone`s a Rockstar these days.  Experts say that there is no cure for a narcissist, perhaps pre-Facebook the affliction was better hidden?

Re: Narcissism running amuck

I remember my mother giving clothes to a neighbor widow with half dozen kids. No garage sale. The telling thing is she fresh washed and ironed them before taking them. Parents are nearly 100 percent moved into a home when they are to the point of needing help now. Government can pay for it. The point is the really tragic thing about government taking care of us from cradle to grave is that we have forgotten how to take care of each other. The second biggest factor in my anecdotal observations is smaller families giving kids fewer people to have to share with and so much easier for Mom and Dad to make the center of the universe

Re: Narcissism running amuck

Obama was/is full of himself, the thing was/still is the media and some of you sung his praises so loudly that he didn`t need to.  Everything Obama did was spun to the most positive, even to mythical proportions.   Contrast that with President Trump, with him "comedians", "news" people and you Trump haters take every dip in the market as a "crash!", maybe you guys aren`t hoping for war, but you don`t want peace if it`s achieved during the Trump administration.

 

And yes Trump has flaws and he is full of himself, however with so many trying to push him on to the subway tracks, I doubt someone with a lesser ego could survive in that job doing what he has to do.   I`m sure it`s frustrating that he is doing and trying to do what I know is right for this country and the media not only doesn`t give him credit, but tries to sabotage his presidency.

 

But I occasionally work with someone that is a full blown narcissist and let me tell you Obama, Trump, whoever is nothing like this guy.  Talks constantly about his conquests with naked pictures of women on his phone as proof (women must really go for that type).  Says how he could beat this guy up and beat that guy up, and he is way past twice the age that he should be talking about beating up people.  First time I saw him he backed up a trailer and said "I`m a pretty good backer aren`t I?"  I looked at him like he might be joking, but he was dead serious.  He even brags how his dog could beat up this dog and that dog.  

 

I could go on a long time about him but you get the idea, I don`t know if it`s all this "testosterone boosters" that has him goofy in the head or if he has a full blown narcissistic personality disorder, at any rate it`s impossible to be friends with someone like that, he`s always on Facebook.  But I look at these road rage deals and the school shootings, something is off in people`s heads where they would take a sledgehammer and beat someone to a pulp for accidentally cutting them off in traffic.

Re: Narcissism running amuck

we should export more Obama's and import more guys like Jonathon Goldberg's father in law.

Re: Narcissism running amuck

Snuberfart Obama was every bit as narcissistic as Trump. The problem is Trump has no self awareness. Lack of self awareness plus narcissism = buffoon
