Narcissism, where did that come from, ?

Insecurity, ignorance and arrogance, and the delusion of grandeur manifesting in the individual.

Trump a classic case!

From a Greek youth called Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection.

If he were made of chocolate he'd eat himself. (my old Gran circa 1982 watching Boy George on TOTP)

Inflated ego of self-importance; a perceived (unjustified) superiority over others; enormous self-entitlement behaviour; lying to facilitate aim; manipulative, scheming and calculating. All in all an abhorrent person to be around or with; a user, and a complete waste of space.

Google it?...well done.. was thier manipulation used in my original post, must have been,makes me narcissistic .Dont it, ...... who put it in who’s brain, ....me? Or.............?

At least Knight Commander is educated.

Narcissus was very modest

we're born with it, makes a lot of sense from an evolutionary point of view.

Luckily, most of us grow out of it in early childhood.

Narcissism is organic, and usually dictated and/or determined by the environment one is brought up in eg people whom one is brought up with; people whom one is mixing with; location; religion (a possibility).

Yep I see your point bud ,..but religion,,location, ,don’t see that unless your talking about Essex

Ameinias was the really vain one. Vanity was rife then, and proved a Nemesis to many

Religion: This could deem superior to another and practitioners could/would behave and act accordingly.
Location: If the entire location is similarly inclined eg class, ethnicity, profession (stockbroking belt), age, etc.

The above could have a bearing on one's mentality and personality.

The number of narcissists in volunteer organisations is incredulous
They basically get platforms to operate without justification
Once you recognise the trait any opposition promotes growth
Best to walk and spread the word surreptiticously
Only a matter of time then
