YouTube Description
as posted by the channel3 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.
Blank slate that allows projection (“Being There”).
Inordinately lucky (divinely blessed by fate, supernaturally superhuman, infallible), magical thinking, fantasy as the only unbounded and unboundaried reality. All wishes can come true, there are no limits.
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)
