YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAggression can be viewed as narcissistic investment in (attempt to fix via delusional fantasy) a dysfunctional maladaptive Self (aggression is grandiose) - or an attempt to destroy tormenting objects together with the Self.
Aggression is correlated strongly with narcissistic injury or mortification (“narcissistic rage”) and with discrepancies between explicit and implicit self-esteem (not with absolute and congruent measures like low or high).
Aggression is also a form of extreme symbiotic identification and internalization of external objects (“consuming them” or becoming one with them, negating their existence): defense against envy, frustration, separateness, and against awareness of aggression (Rosenfeld).
Aggression is socially handicapping and may underpin schizoid grandiosity.
Aggression is a manifestation of entitlement and haughtiness (superiority).
