“The shooter’s manifesto reads like classic narcillism: nothing matters, but notice me anyway.”

“Bro, that guy is such a narcillist. No wonder he’s all over Bluesky.”

Societal Narcissism

Societal Narcissism is a phenomenon that has developed over time because of our society created "what about me" materialistic world.

Text book Narcissism is when a person has developed a personality disorder created at a young age when a child feels no one is taking care or them or giving them basic human needs.

Societal Narcissism is created by an lack of self-esteem, lack of confidence and a missing sense of ones self. This personality is developed because of the materialistic, self centeredness, selfish world that we live in. People today are trying to find happiness through purchasing of material goods, body alterations, keeping busy, drinking, drugs and anything outside of themselves. A "What about me" or a "Look at me" personality disorder has been created within our society because our focus on happiness has been misdirected. These personalities continually try to fill there life with busyness so they don't have to look at themselves to figure out who they really are. This personality disorder creates a lonely, sad, hollow existence that leads people to a very empty sad materialist life.
Societal Narcissism is when you feel lonely so you go shopping to try to fill the emptiness and anxiety with material goods. You think your looks and or what you wear makes people drawn to you....not who you are. You fill your life with items or you alter your looks searching for happiness. In the long run it doesn't work what matters is who you are in the inside. Not what you look like, what you wear, what you drive or where you live.

narcissism

1. Generally a deeply dysfunctional state of mind in which one is in love with oneself, often at a rather superficial level. From the Greek myth of Narcissus, who wasted away out of unrequited love for his own reflection in a pool.

2. More specifically described at its worst as Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or NPD. NPD is characterised by the following:

Refusal to admit that one is narcissistic. The horror author Stephen King once wrote that alcoholics build defence mechanisms like the Dutch build dykes. Narcissists are kind of the same, except that compared to your average narcissist, your average alcoholic is a rank amateur.

An exaggerated sense of self-importance, with the narcissist often talking about private, professional or other interpersonal relationships in which they are involved as though nobody else really existed.

A preoccupation with fantasies of pure or unlimited power, beauty, "authenticity", intelligence, love and so on. Has an urgent need for praise.

A tendency to read what people say out of context, or more likely without any context, and a disability to spot when they are being taken for a ride.

Belief on the narcissist's part that people vastly more gifted than they are (in whatever respect) are their natural equals, and a snobbish contempt for anything less.

A sense of entitlement; narcissists are typically manipulative, haughty, arrogant and generally destructive in their relationships with others.

A narcissist may appear overly anxious to show respect for the property and privacy of those they cannot profitably step on. Towards those under them in any social hierarchy (employees, offspring, subservient spouses, etc.,), they are shamelessly controlling, frequently treating such other peoples' property as their own to use or discard, on a more trivial level barging intrusively into their conversations, and so on. Narcissists treat those below them, or loyal to them, as extentions of their own egos.

Lack empathy and tends to treat other people like dirt, when they can get away with it.

Project a sense of immense effort, as though eternally hoping that some teacher will award them an A for it; at the same time their work is frequently slipshod and they secretly delegate to social subordinates.

Narcissists show no need to take any responsibility for the untoward results of their own actions, frequently going to ingenious extremes to weasel their way out of anything of the sort. After all, anything else would first require them to admit, as more than some petty platitude, that they aren't perfect.

Frequently project their own shortcomings onto others, especially whose whom they can control or of whom they are envious.
Carol's narcissism inspired her first husband to leave everything to her in his will. Some say she drove him into an early grave. She enjoys the money, but now nobody with a brain cell will touch her and her kids don't want to know her.

White Narcissism

White people who idealized the Masters role durining slavery. Because they saw them in a positive light, they seek to be in that role because of their ingrained feelings of being inferior, brought on from generations looking at the "Master's" role as what the superior people are. They now dehumanize people, even family members in an attempt to reach Master status, thus seeing people as property, and only something to use for their purpose. "White Narcissism "
White Narcissism is the death of a society with empathy and compassion for others.

Malignant narcissism

A corrosive recipe of narcissism, antisocial behavior, paranoia, aggression, and a topping of sadism. Grandiose, hostile, unable to tolerate even the smallest criticism, the malignant narcissist undermines families, organizations and associates, consistently attempting to dehumanize others by applying childish nicknames to diminish them in the eyes of others.
The phrase 'malignant narcissism' reminded him of someone, someone front and center, someone in his face, in everyone's face, all day every day... wait... wait... it would come to him.
