I've never come across that before. Narcissism can manifest in various forms, but I suspect that's really a very good rough and ready test. My mother-in-law is a narcissist, and I'm sure she'd flatly assert that she doesn't need to change or improve herself since she's totally happy with how she is.
Can you imagine the response of The Greatest Ever Donald to that question?
The same YouTuber has a longer video on other things that narcissists commonly instinctively do, one of which is to use word-salad to essentially hypnotise others in order to implant suggestions and manipulate them. Listening to that, I was reminded of reading a verbatim transcript of what Trump said at one of his rallies. It made absolutely no sense whatever, but it might go some way towards explaining the baying of the yahoos at those rallies.
I first saw this video while I was still with my verbally, and emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend. I asked him the question, and initially it seemed to kinda just stump him, and he just got progressively more angry and rageful after being asked in what ways he could improve.
I honestly try not to think of politicians very much, because for me it's always just a choice between a douche and a turd. I just vote for whomever I find to be the lesser of two evils. Usually I've got too much personal crap going on to think too much about politicians, celebrities, or reality stars. My sister drives me crazy telling me that she likes to watch the Real Housewives on BRAVO, because she thinks she can learn from them. Ugh.
I'm actually subscribed to Richard Grannon's channel, because I really feel like I can benefit from its content. I love the part in the video about Bladerunner! There's always something about narcissists where they are very flat spiritually, and lack depth. I was gonna say that there is is very shallow quality to them, but it just feels so redundant to me to say. It's hard to have a deep conversation with a narcissist, because they seem to focus on very superficial details, as if they're almost learning disabled, it's very weird. There's a flatness about them.
Okay that's enough of my stream of consciousness rant.
Gee Rosie, and you were just warming up. Tbh, your social perceptions of people unlike yourself can be a bit of a roadmap for me. Remember that social exposure begets social insight. I'm just an unsocialized dork that filled whiteboards with algebra to get systems working to neutralize targets, and make markets. I'm sorry that my life experience contains nothing useful for you, but please know that I appreciate the way you share your insights about people.
IIN to feel bad for my dad
