“Narcicism is an inflated view of oneself
“Cultural narcicism is an inflated view of one’s culture
““anything in society that allows us to project a wonderful image for ourselves is sort of a pathway for narcicism.”
“”Outgoing exhibitionist narcicists are outgoing, extroverted, confident, socially charming, likable when you first meet them, they don’t hate themselves, they think they’re better than they are but they’re not fueled by self-loathing, they’re not easily broken”
“”Vulnerable, or covert, narcicists are insecure, have a little bit of low self-esteem, are very fragile, are grandiose”
