This literally describes (You)>The narcissist feels unhappy because he thinks his life isn't as it should be, or things are going wrong; but all of those feelings find origin in frustration, a specific frustration: the inability to love the other person.>He's a man in a glass box, unable to connect. He thinks the problem is people don't like him, or not enough, so he exerts massive energy into the creation and maintenance of an identity: if they think of me as X...>But that attempt is always futile, not because you can't trick the other person-- you can, for an entire lifetime, it's quite easy. But even then, the man in the box is still unsatisfied, still frustrated, because no amount of identity maintenance will break that glass box
That doesn't describe me at all. Shows how little you know of strangers.
>>85438321>This literally describes (You)nope, i am not a nigger like you
>>85438342Literally describes a robot, so I guess you one are not
>>85438321@grok summarise this into one sentence.
>How do you measure the unmeasurable?Divide the unmeasurable into pieces, and measure the pieces.
This guy is like critical thinking/logic on steroids, but I guess if you don't care about psychoanalysis, or if you never felt admiration for the detective archetype in stories, the sherlocks and ranpos, you won't get it.
>If you think you should live in a functional society... here's my jewish psychoanalysis!
>>85438382>stunted in their potential for happinessWow, I guess I am a narcissist.
>>85438444Exactly his point, the blame is always someone else's. What you don't get is what blaming others gets you out of.But it's useless to tell you, so just ask yourself: what kind of person takes a message about personal responsibility and turns it into a negative thing?
>>85438321>need for excessive admiration Most of the robots are shy and can't stand in the spotlight
>>85438521What kind of person uses "self responsibility" as a vehicle for abuse?
>>85438521>Its your fault goy! Doesnt matter if you were abused your entire life you need to take responsibility for your actions!
>>85438566Say it's true you were "abused" (or whatever you mean by that, probably girls not liking and guys being mean in highschool) what now? Carry that resentment forever and drag yourself down just to spite everyone else?What is a defense? It's something that let's you get away with something else. It's not about whether your excuse is true or false; it's about using it as a tool for another reason. It gives you permission to act in a way completely incompatible with the person you think you are.How do you avoid looking at something in yourself you don't want to see? In this case you close your eyes and scream abuse, you play the victim, you blame everyone else. Not because you're wrong (you might as well be right) but because being "right" lets you get away with staying stuck.
>>85438566This. Normgroids will make you fucking hate yourself and never want to go anywhere or do anything since you've been primed with nothing but negative experiences, and then when you fail to launch they call you the bad guy. They put this anger and resentment into you and then blame you for it being there.
>>85438382last clause of the first paragraph clocks the fuck out of "virgin trad wife" faggot losers
>>85438444>"Allows me to receive tender in exchange for labor? Check.">"Allows me the freedom to live wherever I can afford to? Check.">"Guarantees me against a wide berth of possible transgressions against me I'd have no defense or recourse to in a state of nature? Check.">"Allows me the ability to pursue romantic and sexual relations with anyone I can manage to attract? Check.">"See? I live in a dysfunctional society! IT'S THEIR FAULT I'M A FAILURE AND LOSER!!"
>>85438521Man dude, you broke down the 4chan breed of narcissism better than the nigga you've quotedumped.
>>85438540fear of failure =/= lack of desire for praise
>>85438877I've never heard of a narcissist being cured no matter how thoroughly their pathology is explained to them.
>>85438990It's more so that reality itself is inherently unfair and evil. People who do nothing but hurt others will enjoy a better quality of life because they have access to wealth and are attractive, meanwhile the unfortunate get trampled into dust. It needs to end.
>>85439019Maybe it's the autism but I just enjoy the author's logic, and is by following that weird circular way of reasoning he does that I was able to change somewhat, to look at things another way.Or more likely I'm just using the insight, the change in perspective and self awareness to let myself continue to be a piece of shit, even as I pretend to help other people
>>85439129>that weird circular way of reasoning he doesYou know that's a bad thing right?
>>85438321The harsh reality is that in real human society you are either a "narcissist" or a slave.You're either special and you exercise that power or you're just another cow in the field grazing away. Society either cares what you do or it doesn't. You are either rewarded or punished based on how you are perceived and pure luck. Egoism and selfishness are normal biological functions towards survival and you either have something to back it up or you don't. All the rest of this is nothing but theory so it doesn't matter because in real life this is how it is. This the issue with a lot of psychology. Psychologists do not observe reality. They love theory and have no idea about reality. And in reality no it absolutely isn't all you. That's a ridiculous thing to say. In reality it's obvious the individual has virtually no control over anything and "narcissism" is just the normal state of any animal.
>>85439144It's a description of the way he presents his arguments, by dismantling the common response and "turning it around" and showing you why it makes no sense for that to be true.
>>85438342That's all Blackbeard (who wrote that) does. Make up a psychology from nothing, decide it must apply to you, and then come up with stories and examples you supppsedly relate to to prove how it makes you a narc. Oh, you don't feel anything he says, don't think anything he tells you that you must've thought, and you have never done what was supposed to make you a narc? Well, either pushing back must mean you're a narc, or you must be lying. He sits in his room doing bunk psychoanalysis of the figures in his head and publishes it online, and normies will lap it up just like they'll lap anything up if you present in an assertive and smug enough tone.
>>85439263By listening to him my life is better, I'm no longer a virgin, I'm back in college and finding the courses unironically fun, I'm making friends and I (think I) genuinely care about other people. What has believing he's wrong done for you? I'm not saying he's always right, I'm saying his logic holds.
Neurotypicals don't know what a narcissist looks like lolIt's you pastor, it's your community leader, it's the CEO all the people they fucking simp for and adore. They are utterly helpless against these kinds of sociopaths. They could rape their daughter and normies will unironically defend them and make excusesNot some quiet autist
>>85439358I've also spoken to an ex-biker ex-junkie who said that a (free-church smelling) Jesus was responsible for saving his life and for everything good that was now happening to him. Did I join his bible study group? No. However much I might fuck up my own life, if something reads like bullshit to me, I say it is.
>>85439428Your problem is thinking that you're so smart that when something reads like bullshit to you, it is. Good luck
>>85439391>self-righteousness>undue sense of superiority>deflection>blindness to faultop being proved right with every post
>>85439444>if you think im bullshitting you... guess what... heh... youre a narckys
Discourse on the subject of narcissism inevitably takes the form of a hall of mirrors. Each person pointing the finger at warped reflections of their own immutable self-importance.
>>85438321>"If you don't like your life and want to improve it, which was once considered a good human desire, you're a *Extremely loose term that I can apply to you to influence your behavior* It's pathological!"Psychologists need to be hunted down left to rot on crosses along the roads. Everything this faggot field has made up is a giant appeal to normalcy with no means of falsification. Plus now normalgroids use it too as they did with heresy and witchcraft a century ago.If OP wants to play by those rules. People with cluster B personality disorders very much go underdiagnosed because they gain social dominance by accusing people they don't like or don't respond to their bullshit as narcissists. They love it because it gives the label of "Bad according to society" while maintaining plausible deniability because the accused of being "sick". It is the classic "Accuse your enemies of what you yourself are guilty of."
>>85438321>So, not a narcissist, huh?>Well, that's exactly what a narcissist would say!>Heh, go to college, narcissist!
