Both can lead to NPD. In one case it is a defense mechanism against the constant attacks from parents, for psychological health, in the other case it's more an inflated sense of self-worth.

i'm more left than sargs, but the same area on the libertarian axis

Narcicism is more common a consequence of perfectionist parents

That sounds right. Not sure.

I can see how it could lead to cases.

Mine was about +1.1, -5.2

It's hard to pin exact causes sometimes.

I don't see a music sharing channel so imma post this bitch here: https://youtu.be/eR4blLHn5Hc

It's about half genetic, half environmental.

Well of course im not just saying is the only cause

but is a cause

yeah a music sharing channel would be nice

psychology is complex

I asked JDM for one but I don't know if he saw the request

we alraedy have a fake-news channel

cmon guys 😛

more complex than what the academia believes

pay attention

I'm not denying it could be a cause. I'm just not sure.

I'm not read up on psychology as well.

Most of what I studied is from years ago.

Mostly Beck and occasional studies.

psychology is quakery, cuz you can fake it

Sure im just speaking from what i saw in most cases

Sam Vaknin has some good observations.

sad beings indeed

But, he is a psychopath, so I always am a bit uneasy with him.

Well, some things you can't fake.

Yup

Psychos are so interesting

like orgasms? 😉

But at the same time so creepy

For example, there are MRI techniques that show a differing brain pattern in responses to emotional stimuli

you can fake everything

when I was little our school counselor made me draw a tree and then she called me an introvert

There are some measurable correlates between psychopathy and brain functionns.

and I think I'm an introvert because I took her seriously

**crzedmortal#7425** just left the server.

the tree draw is a technique too

because that tree I drew was fucking cool for a 3rd grader

just know how to create fake signals
