Understanding Narcissism

[CapnAwesome]

But those suffering with NPD supposedly project a false self-image of thinking highly of themselves but in actuality they consider themselves worthless and they feel lots of shame. They have a grandiose false self-image and that is why they crave so much attention and feel depleted without it. They need others to feed their own weak self esteem. They hide behind an inflated false self. They are emotional vampires. They feed off of Narcissistic Supply which they are addicted to.

Meh, doesn't sound so bad really. Most people are depressed and do nothing with their lives because they are paralyzed with their inability to make decisions. No more neurotic then most people, who are depressed anyway. Narcissists also start more businesses and dominate the entertainment industry. What is really the difference between false confidence and confidence? Semantics.

Finally, narcissism keeps a person focused and goal oriented. Once a narcissist has made a decision, there really is very little that will halt their progress. Even traits like compulsion and impatience have a way of propelling a person to the top of the world, simply because they believe that they belong there and are entitled to that place. Narcissists know what they want out of life and they use whatever tools they have at their disposal to make it happen.
