How to Spot a Narcissist

[Marcus Aurelius]

http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2008/08/04/how-to-spot-a-narcissist/


At the core of extreme narcissism is egotistical preoccupation with self, personal preferences, aspirations, needs, success, and how he/she is perceived by others.

Narcissism, in lay terms, basically means that a person is totally absorbed in self. The extreme narcissist is the center of his own universe. To an extreme narcissist, people are things to be used. It usually starts with a significant emotional wound or a series of them culminating in a major trauma of separation/attachment. No matter how socially skilled an extreme narcissist is, he has a major attachment dysfunction (http://psychcentral.com/disorders/sx100.htm).

The protective insulation barrier he constructed is called a false persona. He created a false identity. This identity is not the true person inside. The many types of false personas or identities that an extreme narcissist creates can vary.

Some narcissists may have the ability to change into a variety of identities according to the situation. The wounded child inside may choose to present a front as a “bad ass” and tough individual. He may look, by appearance, intimidating and scary to the average person. He could also play the “nice guy/person” whom everyone likes. A corporate type version can be one that is diplomatic, proper, and appearing to care but in reality does not.

Narcissists can be very skilled at dodging and ducking personal questions. If you press them, they will then slot you as “unsafe” and will begin to avoid you and exclude you from their life.


Sounds like 'someone', more like 'a couple someones', we all know in here. The key will be if they respond to this thread, or make vague references to this thread elsewhere, or start other threads claiming others fit this more than they.

The responses should be interesting.

Narcissist [aka attention whore, drama queen]: A person who starts threads about himself. :laugh:

[SassyLady]

Someone who exhibits narcissism also has no empathy for others due to always focused on themselves. They can't see the impact their actions have on others because they don't really care ... it's about satiating themselves.

In a reflection from a pond.

[NightTrain]

This thread is now about me.

Discuss.

no, it really isn't. But those who fit the OP know who they are.

[BillyBob]

What, that you're a drama queen? We already knew that, retard. :laugh:

[Voted4Reagan]

How long before this one ends up in the cage?

[jimnyc]

Moved to the cage and no thread bans involved.

Marcus, BB - please place one another on ignore. The reported posts and ruining of so many threads has went on long enough. If we must, we can thread ban in every other thread and handle the feud ourselves, but it would be much easier of you guys took the higher road and simply utilize the board software.

[Marcus Aurelius]

thread purpose accomplished... one was too chicken to do more than look, the other was the first person after the OP to post, thus proving various points in the OP. You can close the thread now if you like, it's served its purpose.

Are you familiar with the myth of narcissus and echo? Just curious-- is self-infatuation any more destructive than infatuation with another?

It sure did! :laugh:

I'm glad you agree that you and Robert are narcissistic fuckwads. Maybe there's hope for you yet.

Tell you what, if Jim responds to this thread and confirms that he doesn't mind us going after each other in the cage, I'll be happy to oblige you and rub your face in the concrete all day.


Until then, I'm taking the high road and honoring Jimmy's request to not trash his forum. You're on your own.

Taking the High Road to the Landfill where Jim's trash ends up is a good start for you.

Are you longing for some company?


Oh wait, I mean: I'm taking the high road and honoring Jimmy's request to not trash his forum.
