No, this is dumb. The reason the averages have changed is not because there are more true narcissists, but because more parents coddled their kids and told them they were always great instead of the average little shits they really were.

I didn't read this thread to see if anyone else said this already because my mom told me I was better than you.

Oh my God, a 12.2% jump of a nebulously defined parameter over a 26 year span, and plotted in a purposefully misleading manner. Better start making bold proclamations about the psychological state of millions of people.

Baby boomers are the worst generation, and they just keep getting worse because almost everyone becomes a shittier person when they get really old.

HEROES NEVER DIE
Narcissus was a Roman athlete, likely a wrestler, from the 2nd century AD. He is best known to history as the assassin of the Roman Emperor Commodus, by whom he was employed as a wrestling partner, and personal trainer in order to train Commodus for his self-indulgent appearances in the Colosseum as a gladiator. In the year 192 AD he was recruited by several senators, led by Praetorian prefect Quintus Aemilius Laetus, to assassinate the emperor.
On December 31 of that same year, Commodus's concubine and conspirator Marcia admitted Narcissus into Commodus's bedchamber. Commodus was supposedly in a drunken stupor after Marcia had poisoned him and Narcissus proceeded to strangle his master in his bathtub or, according to Herodian, in his bed.

You'd think he could have just gotten a choke in their wrestling practice sessions and not let go, seems a lot less convoluted than poisoning.

actually upon googling the term i found that silent generation refers to the depression era folks and NOT the awkward half-geneartion between the boomers and their parents. so it is not the silent generation that sucks.

that's just southerners, generation's irrelevant. well, maybe millenial white southerners are less poo poo, but doubtful. the people a generation before them were burning black people at the stake, blinding them and cutting their fingers and hands off for fun. they made postcards and everything
