they’re famously self-aware, I hear 😏

Narcissism is rarely formally diagnosed because narcissists don't seek treatment. They believe they are the victims, not the problem. They don't seek treatment because they don't think there's anything wrong with them, just everyone else. Our screens society rewards the behavior more than ever.

Genuinely ty for bringing insight & facts, unlike the troll above. My comments stemmed from being tired of how much, in this age of BS inundation from the right, many ppl my politics would otherwise align w/ post misinfo for the snark (also grew up in an adhd fam where looking it up is law lol)

Current, not screens.

honestly "screens" works, too.

Sadly, it does. I did a research project for social psychology on the negative effects of social media and it's only gotten exponentially worse since then.

Exactly! I was married to a narcissist. I went to a psychologist for therapy, mainly due to my marriage & pregnant w/ our daughter at the time. My husband came twice to my sessions at my request & psychologist's recommendation. He refused to go back b/c she was pregnant & not married.

You should read this. Dr. Durvasula is an expert on narcissists. It's very informative. And helpful. And she has a YouTube channel.
