Narcissism

What have you heard about Narcissism?
What have you read?
What have you experienced?

I am certainly no expert. And I have not read all that much, but I think a lot of what the official literature says about Narcissism is really misguided. I tend to place a high value on what individuals write from their personal experience.

One site I think is really insightful (and terrifying) is written by an actual Narcissist:

I think those in the medical community assume Narcissists are born that way, maybe they might give some attribution to how living through trauma changes an individuals DNA and this is passed on to his or her offspring.

I think those in the therapy or child development community might think Narcissists are a product of a parenting style or a childhood learning environment that may have included trauma.

If you read this blog, you will read my case for what we call Narcissism is actually the same exact behaviors societies around the world naturally organize themselves around to defend against physical threats of all kinds, and it's only when the threats go away, and the trauma from the battles goes unprocessed, that those same behaviors go from protecting a community to knocking the door wide open to all manner of corruption, self-dealing and destabilization and blocking it's progress in every dimension.

Countries, organizations and families literally start harming themselves and isolating themselves away from the outside world, in a self-created world with no accountability, no self control, and no growth. It is a completely closed, self-replicating system.

For example, it is said by many people that the emotions of Narcissists are different than those of neuro-typical people.
