Narcissism: Global and Universal (ENGLISH responses, with Nárcisz Coach) | Vaknin Talks

Back to top Bottom

If she understands right, it\'92s economically equal, basicallythis whole religion system that we call narcissism, because it has exactly the same features in Australia, Chinaor wherever you go, and that\'92s why it has common skills and common problems as well. So it\'92s equal, mollified.

Yes, narcissism is possibly the only global phenomenon with no local features, the only totally universal phenomena. That\'92s why it\'92s the most powerful religion ever. It is totally universalist religion.

For example, a Chinese narcissist could be easily diagnosed by, for example, an American daughter. This is identical. I have seen Iranian narcissists. I've treated people from, by now, well over 20 countries. No difference whatsoever.

Nastis is nastis and nastis.

So this is a religion which is monovalent, homogenous, universalist, globalized, distributedand networked. All the features of the internet and all the features of cancer. It\'92s a cancerous, internet-like religion.

Let's pray.

And it's a religion because it involves a worship of an omnipotent, omniscient, perfect being, the false self.

That's why it's a religion.

Because there's a being, an entity, which is, has all the attributes of God.

Narcissism: A Spiritual Cancer (ENGLISH responses, with Nárcisz Coach)

Narcissism is a hyper, super, post-modern religion that is spreading like a cancer, or metastasizing, according to Professor Sam Vaknin. It is a spiritual cancer that is prevalent worldwide, and it involves a relationship between the false self and the worshipper. Narcissism is not good, and in the Middle Ages, it would have been considered a demonic or satanic religion.

Narcissism, the New Faith - Part 1: Distributed God and Human Sacrifice

Narcissism can be described as a form of private religion, where the false self is the divinity and the child who has developed the false self becomes the worshipper. When narcissism becomes a societal phenomenon, it remains the same, but it becomes the first distributed religion in human history. Narcissism is a faith of entitlement, where the narcissist subsumes everything and becomes one with everything because the narcissist is everything and everything is the narcissist. The current new religion that is emerging, the religion of narcissism, is similarly embedded in the computer metaphor or more precisely in the network metaphor.

Narcissism is a concept of God, which renders the narcissist equal to God, identical to God. Narcissism is the first network distributed religion, the first network distributed faith. In 50 to 100 years, the number one religion would be narcissism.

Can Narcissists Be Constructive, Positive, Productive?

Elon Musk's biography reveals a complex individual who self-identifies with autism spectrum disorder and exhibits traits of narcissistic personality disorder, characterized by grandiosity and a lack of empathy. Despite his accomplishments, Musk's vision and decision-making are often unrealistic and wasteful, leading to negative outcomes for himself and others. The notion that narcissism can be beneficial for society is challenged, as narcissists tend to misread social cues and prioritize self-enhancement over genuine concern for others. Ultimately, while narcissists may achieve temporary success, their lack of wisdom and empathy results in destructive patterns that harm both themselves and those around them.

Narcissist: Private God, Missionary Religion, Global Faith

Professor Sam Vaknin argues that narcissism is a new religion that will overtake traditional religions in the future. He believes that narcissism is a spectrum, with healthy narcissism being necessary for personal growth and development. However, when narcissism remains infantile and does not mature, it becomes pathological. Vaknin also claims that the rise of social media and the internet has created a networked, post-modern religion of narcissism, where individuals create their own gods and worship themselves.

Mental Illness is Contagious (MEGA STUDY) (Virus links in DESCRIPTION)

Pathological narcissism can be considered contagious, similar to a virus, as recent research indicates that mental disorders may be socially transmitted within adolescent peer networks. A study involving over 700,000 individuals in Finland found that having classmates with mental disorders significantly increased the risk of developing similar issues later in life, particularly in the first year after exposure. The findings suggest that behaviors associated with mental illness can lead to imitation and emulation among peers, with the risk of diagnosis rising with the number of affected classmates. This research opens new avenues for understanding mental health contagion and potential treatment strategies, emphasizing the importance of peer influence in adolescent mental health.

Do Narcissists Mellow with Age? Some Traits Do, But Not the Disorder (Studies)

The recent article claims that only one or two traits of narcissism may improve with age, specifically a reduction in antagonism and a slight increase in empathy, but this change is minimal and does not apply to all narcissists. The commentary criticizes the misleading title of the article, the media's sensationalized interpretations, and the overall lack of methodological rigor in studies on narcissism, particularly those relying on meta-analysis rather than randomized trials. It highlights the confusion between traits and the diagnosis of narcissism, emphasizing that many studies fail to include individuals diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder and often use non-validated instruments. The commentary concludes that the academic field is increasingly driven by a desire for fame and celebrity, leading to the proliferation of unscientific classifications and misleading research outcomes.

Alcohol+Covert Narcissist=Antisocial Grandiose Narcissist

Covert narcissists often use alcohol as a means to transform their self-perception from feelings of inadequacy to a grandiose sense of self, shedding their modesty and inhibitions. Alcohol alters their empathy, making them less caring towards loved ones while enhancing their connection with strangers, leading to reckless behaviors and impulsive decisions. This disinhibition can result in a dangerous shift towards psychopathic traits, as the alcohol amplifies their latent narcissism and aggression. Ultimately, the cycle of drinking leads to feelings of guilt and shame once sober, reinforcing their self-loathing and dependence on alcohol to escape their emotional turmoil.

NPD Narcissist, Or Merely Narcissistic Sick, Or Just A Hole

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a rare clinical condition, affecting approximately 1% to 3% of the population, and should not be confused with individuals who merely exhibit narcissistic traits or behaviors. The distinction between true narcissists and those with narcissistic styles is crucial, as many people display narcissistic tendencies without meeting the criteria for NPD. Recent trends indicate a rising number of diagnosed female narcissists, often exhibiting both narcissistic and borderline traits, which can lead to more dangerous behaviors compared to their male counterparts. The pandemic is expected to exacerbate mental health issues, potentially leading to a significant increase in personality disorders and psychotic conditions, highlighting the need for better understanding and differentiation of narcissistic behaviors.

Are Narcissists Psychotic? (4th World Congress on Neuropsychiatry, Sleep Disorders and Medicine)

Psychosis is characterized by a severe impairment in reality testing, leading individuals to confuse internal fantasies with external reality, and can manifest as transient micro-episodes or persistent states. Delusions are false beliefs maintained despite contrary evidence, while hallucinations are sensory perceptions without external stimuli. Narcissistic personality disorder involves a distorted self-image and a reliance on external validation, leading to a fragile sense of self that can result in psychotic-like episodes when narcissistic supply is threatened. Although narcissists may exhibit delusional thinking, they typically retain awareness of reality and manipulate their narratives to maintain their self-image, distinguishing them from true psychotic states.
