Understanding Narcissism

[Edwardo Piet]

Who cares about Rhianna, it's not like you'll ever have anything to do with her life. So if she is good, bad, beautiful, ugly, who cares?

My balls care.

Rhianna is One Of The Many Paths To Mayoland.

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.

There's a woman on Facebook who has a page called My Emotional Vampire. She talks about Narcissism and I think she may have a website as well.

Emotional vampireism? Yuck.

Makes me glad that:

I'm not an emotional vampire I just get all my happiness from other people.

To be fair, being good looking can be a great motivator to be good to people.

Or mean to ugly people.

No, see, I think you didn't understand that. Being good looking gives you more of a reason to be good to all people. I trust I don't have to explain how it works?

Although I'm sure Beccs wouldn't mind if you two threw knives at each other

That's because she's sadistically delicious.

I'd rather spectate her do her psychopathic thing with someone else though. I'm a pervert not a masochist. Sheesh.

I'm up for it, you wuss. If the prize is what I think it is, that is.

[Edwardo Piet]

I'm good looking and I'm also good to all people.

Q.E.D.

I'm too lovely to be intentionally violent.

I'm pure sex.

 A lot of people bashing on narcissists are just jealous.  

Everyone has narcissim to a degree. For the most part, those levels are healthy. I bash on narcissists because after personally dealing with one for the last 16 years, having him drag me through the family court system, lie under oath, manipulate my family and my children, verbally and emotionally abuse me long after the relationship ended and who still manipulates judges, lawyers and psychiatrists alike, I can tell you wholeheartedly, 

I am NOT jealous. There is no jealousy to be had for someone who is that cold, ruthless and inconsiderate to the levels that he should be in jail for some of the things he has done to both myself and my children. 

Nope. The sheer amount of hell that man has put me though - a person just can't make this stuff up. And sadly, I am not alone in this.

I feel for you, Nymph. But you're judging that man for his actions, not for his character. Don't conflate the two. People can have certain debilitating qualities to a degree and still be able to function normally. I guess what I'm saying is don't paint everyone you meet that reminds you even slightly of your ex with the same brush.

You know, maybe averagely good looking types feel a need to bash on people they find unattractive, that just means they're caught between two worlds(in their own heads), though.

Anyway, this whole talk of beauty is necessarily inconclusive. Beauty can be very subjective, as well as having a lot more to do with one's personality than one might think.

For example, some people in this thread seem to find Rihanna attractive. I don't in the least. And that only applies to her, it's not about anything in particular about her.

I just don't find her attractive for some reason. I never liked her music and I find her kind of shallow, I don't know why exactly(I don't remember being impressed with anything she did, maybe it's got something to do with the fact that I was mostly introduced to her music by my brother who was making fun of her at the time, making me laugh).

Anyway. See my point?

Well, there's this one video of her in which she's sexy, but still. I liked Shakira in that video where she acts like a she-wolf as well, but other than that I don't like her either.
