A narcissist is a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves. "narcissists who think the world revolves around them" There are plenty in the news at the moment, take Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Tommy Robinson,, Donald Trump for example.All narcissists who are pretty transparent in their grandiosity. Others are less so.
For the narcissist, being talked about is all that brings them joy. They do not care if you're talking with admiration or derision. It's all the same -- they are the focus, the news of the day, the centre of the universe. Daily using the media to massage their over inflated ego, the fact is they love nothing more than basking in the limelight. They take acting to a new level.
Remember that with a narcissist it is always about them and what they are going through. It is pointless caring about them because they will never care back. They will talk to you when it suits them and then discard you and feel nothing. They don't care if they cause you pain. Befriend a narcissist and be prepared for the fallout because it will invariably happen.
These attention seeking predators are very good at fooling as they are very clever at manipulation. They can offer empathy and really seem to care, with their ability to charm people in order to have their needs met, while always seeking power over others. They will release a cloak of kindness and will go way out of their way to expect others to react to them as though they are the caring, generous, people they want to seem like .
You will trust them, even love some. and all will seems fine, and you will confide with, and tell them your deepest thoughts, not being aware you have been infiltrated, and that any slight disagreement or dare to question ,will see them try to break you into pieces, by accusing you of things you never did. and attempt to destroy, by spreading lies that are directly opposite of who you are.
Then they will simply toss you away not giving the slightest damn about you, as you try to recover from the damage inflicted. It can take time, to heal, but healing you must, can be difficult as sometimes, you have people you love in common .
The world however fortunately remains full of compassionate people, empaths, just wanting to create a life filled with love, beauty and happiness, unity, sadly the narcissists, who I do acknowledge have deep rooted problems of their own, then come along and shatter, like all this is nothing .Do they even understand what they destroy? Or do they destroy what they don’t understand?
Many of this type will naturally seek political careers. But they‘re incapable of caring about others, and will never do what is good for a country and it’s citizens. Their only goal is to manipulate others for personal gain.
Narcissists always think everyone else but them is wrong. Even when society pushes back on them, it’s society that is wrong. Political Zionism is a form of psychopathic narcissism. “We are the chosen people, we can destroy anything that comes in our path. If you call us out: you are evil or complicit with evil. We can do no wrong and don’t you dare try to call us out for it.”
Don't deify political figures. They are all - right and left - corrupt narcissists who don't give two shits about normal people. Tribalism has created political celebrity culture (and cults of personality etc) and it's destructive. Our political system is now full of no conviction arrogant, selfish, opportunistic, greedy, fools who have no business running a country, just sociopathic narcissists only after power to line own and mates’ pockets!
These parasitic political narcissists are so dislocated from the functional reality of the UK, it is beyond parody, as they destroy healthcare , create division, deny, distract, deflect, scapegoat. We need this subsection of society firmly voted out, we need kindness and love, we need to find a hubris of humanity. to remind us all, It's not about them.
Lets keep following concepts, that create unity, shared values, mutual aid, kindness, compassion, the common good our collective purpose, values that create joy and positivity, against forces of war, injustice, contrition, hegemony and division, try and reject all authoritarian practices, seek to liberate and empower all people equally. Build a future of respect, peace, love and understanding. Keep up the good fight.
