i am a low self-esteem millennial babby and tbh i sometimes think if someone offered me a pill that would allow me to become a dead-eyed narcissist i would take it because they really do seem to be the majority in my age group and they seem to have an easier time getting places in life. although elliot rodger... :stare:

their's big differences between popularly labeled narcissism and the clinical one like eliot rodger had. eliot rodger obviously had an incredibly weak ego that got overwhelmed by everything, which led to him becoming hilariously delusional. the type of narcissism that is used to label is more about not having a sense of responsibility and being excessively materialistic and obsessed with status.

okay maybe i should have said 'gigantic malignant buttholes with no morals and no consideration for peoples' feelings who treat others as objects to be manipulated to advance their quest for self gratification and aggrandizement'

the great part is that american culture, especially american corporate culture, is based upon this exact thing. so people are encouraged to be this way.

i'm pretty sure there was a study that found that people with actual narcissistic personality disorder were far more likely to become ceo's and poo poo.

ya millennials haven't been collectively beaten to feel that they owe something to society so they just poo poo post irl, also the way narcissists is used to attack young people is something i remember being used on the grunge scene when i was a lil kid i wouldnt be surprised if it's been around since that one psychologist told parents to love their kids and not beat them back in the 40's.

Got a link to the original research so that I can read it for myself?

gently caress man, narcissism sucks.

:circlefap:

These studies are hilarious because they always make it into my google news feed. Heritage and Cato, I think, drew similar conclusions from their own entirely unbiased studies.
