as posted by the channelThe Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales
Narcissists feels entitled to magical, enchanted life in which the impossible happens time and again, effortlessly and unexpectedly. Fairy tale or movie that unfold inexorably in accordance with some internal logic.
Enchant the pedestrian and sources of disenchantment/reality. Disenchantment feels like defeat, a trap, suffocating and stifling
Magical thinking
Addicted to Surprises: universe smiles on him/her, proof of love, care; adrenaline and dopamine rushes (thrill-seeking)
Enchantment is recreation of maternal safe base
Disenchantment: boredom, envy, anger, other negative affects
Coercive enchantment: shared fantasy, crime, dramatic antics, enchanted instability and unpredictability, recklessness
Escapism as enchantment: substance use, cults, video games, the online world (cybersphere), exclusionary ideologies, antagonistic conflict, nihilism, instrumentalizing, idealization and idolizing, erotomania and other narrative delusions, cognitive distortions and biases
Manic schemes
Media exposure (celebrity) even via antisocial, defiant, or contumacious acts
Consumption
If all else fails: delusional self-enchantment via self-enhancement of self-concept (false self) and self-supply
