Narcissism Is The First Step Toward Evil

The core definition of narcissism includes traits like selfishness, high control, exploitation, a False Self, a need for superior power, and low empathy. But as a person descends further down the spectrum, more disturbing patterns emerge. Narcissism can lead to evil, which is demonstrated by dehumanizing you and denying basic dignity. For you to thrive, insight and self-care is of utmost importance.

This explains so much about Trump and his followers, and also some people in my life. Thanks for posting. I want to explore further.

That's where I've garnered amateur expertise on narcissism.

It's given me guidance and peace of mind.

Understanding why he thought and acted as he did freed me from a lot of troublesome, lingering misconceptions.

Find them extremely helpful! I grew up in a home with a malignant narcissist, and my brother and sister who were substantially older, showed those traits as well, perhaps just learned traits, and I suffered a great deal as a child, as a result.

Again, thank you.
