35:56Now Playing3 types of narcissism: post-traumatic (closure), reactive (attention, need to be seen), societal (conformity) united in charismatic-magnetic narcissist, the underdog who makes it against all odds and the elites establishment.

Elevates followers (seen, part of history, feel special or chosen, needed and indispensable) and colludes with them against others, the “enemy” or the “ill-informed”. Fake hyper-empathy, resonance, mass intimacy within the cult of the shared fantasy.
Dark side, self-destructiveness owing to parentification (Bloland, 2000)
