Reading this gave me goosebumps.
Understanding narcissism is the key to understanding the entire world. The key to understanding government, power, politics and even pink hair.
I've been thinking recently that the world does desperately need to understand just how they are being fooled. And I think a book on it is needed.
But I don't think I would be a person that could shoulder a majority of work to create it. I have other things I am spending my valuable time on, other things I am being drawn towards.
If you decide you would like to shoulder the brunt of the burden of structuring and writing then I would be more than willing to contribute to the greatest extent of my understanding. It is a subject that I have been drawn towards for the last five years, at first I didn't understand why I was being drawn towards it. But I think now it was my subconscious simply attempting to point me in the direction that would eventually result in my obtaining the information necessary to adequately understand the current world.
I'm also a sigma and seem to have the same immunity to narcissists. I can spot a narcissism in a moment. I think I have some degree of narcissim in me that allows me to have a better understanding of emotions and desires.
I am not complete sigma but enough it helps... I got burned by a narrcist bad. Not sure I can take work load needed as well like you I have multiple projects and keep adding to it. We all have a little narrcisism but the people that don't have empathy are a real problem.. oddly I think really stupid people I call grey people high testororine and low iq have no empathy then on the other side of the scale are the high iq narrcisist that are just missing something in there brian..Brian... hit me up any time pm if ya want to just shoot the shit so to speak. You don't get quality responses on her much
I think experiencing some sort of “burn” is a common catalyst for beginning to wake up.
I got burned by a belief system. Coming out of the system provided my initial deprograming from narcissism. But my life fell apart in ways I hadn’t expected. When I finally came to improve my understanding of the causes and effects in my own life I started to see how consistently I was lying to myself. And that new vision also permitted me to more clearly see it in all the world around me.
Its my belief that in this world we only only have two choices. We can choose to focus on the ME that is inside our bodies. This ME is my EGO. And to focus only on that brings nothing but fear. Or we can focus on the ME that is inside everyone else. At the end of the day all roads lead back to the same ME.
Just about ALL organizations and ISMS (beliefs about the world) are narcissistic in structure. They are set up to easily deny the facts that would dispute the lies they tell themselves about themselves.
These organizations almost vibrate energetically in a way and act as attractants to the various flavors of narcissism in us.
I know I have a lot more to learn about it. And still more to overcome myself. But I prefer this world view to those I have chosen to hold in the past.
Your views on stoicism? And how that might help I've started listening to it and need to read it not just listen but it is interesting philosophy and outlook on life for sure
