Here is an interesting thread for all of you guys interested in mental health topics and those hurt by narcissists.
With selfies becoming all the more widespread, and “if you have it flaunt it” attitudes blurring the life stories of people featured on social media, I have noticed an equally strong backlash from previous generations, especially, my parents, scoffing at “narcissism”. I’ve even left Facebook in light of feeling inadequacy in my singleness with seemingly more successful dating/social lives being rubbed in my face. In my experience this is just one of several instances where I've detected pressure to conform. Using a generalized, dictionary definition of “narcissism” this would increase the instances of Narcissistic Personality Disorder right? In my pensive moments I’ve determined that surely there’s more to real narcissism than just taking hundreds of selfies at an exotic destination or showing off your social media or YouTube profile. Albeit at the same time I’m pondering if this cultural atmosphere is the breeding ground for narcissism, both in its literal and psychological sense. What is the difference between narcissism and NPD? __________________ DX'd Moderate GAD and depression in April 2021. But it is only a part of me, not defining me.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
