Not (necessarilly) Current Events, Mostly at least . . .

Just a little on the National if not International scourge of existence:

Narcissists.

Ya, they MIGHT not be as maddening to deal with as Borderline Psychotics (I don't don't care what the experts say, BPDers can be Contagious, as they are so deranged that they can be Contagious.)

But Narcissists, are bad enough.

Oh, and there are Many Many more of them, than Borderline Psychotics.

Anyway, here is the copy/paste.


The narcissist is unable to evoke his positive feelings without provoking his negative ones. Gradually, he becomes phobic: afraid to feel anything, lest it be accompanied by the fearsome, guilt inducing, anxiety provoking, out of control emotional complements. He is thus reduced to experiencing dull stirrings, dim movements in his soul, that he identifies to himself and to others as emotions. Even these are felt only in the presence of a subject capable of providing the narcissist with his badly needed Narcissistic Supply. Only when the narcissist is in the overvaluation phase of his relationships, does he go through these convulsions and convolutions that he calls "feelings". These are so transient and fake in nature that they are easily replaced by rage, envy and devaluation. The narcissist really recreates the behaviour patterns of his less than ideal Primary Objects.


That is enough for here (and to slip in under reasonable Copyright Fair Use limits.)
