Egoistic

“Most of us would like to believe that our leaders are loving and kind people who are looking out for us. Most of us would like to believe that there are benevolent powerful authorities at work in the world, leaders who are loving and kind. In this country, many of us were brought up to believe that the leaders of the country are fine people who are looking out for us. We want to believe it. I’ve said this so many times in various settings, but people don’t quite get it. Donald Trump is not like other human beings, and you can’t treat him as if he is. Trump is completely dishonest and lacks the ability to understand what other people want or care about. It’s all about him. Other people do not matter to Donald Trump. He lacks the core of normal empathy, and the ability to appreciate that other people have rights. He seeks to be a king, and is in fact, a tyrant. For Trump, anything other than worshipful obedience is an unjustified attack. Trump will attack, and will be willing to destroy anybody who stands in his way. He’ll get the most expensive lawyers available to him. He’ll accuse other people of being guilty of the exact things he and his own party are doing. It’s the same thing Trump did on Jan. 6, absolutely. Donald Trump certainly knows what he’s doing. That’s a different question from whether he has personal insight into his behavior. He doesn’t know that he is a sociopath. He’s too far gone. He has a psychotic core, in that he is fundamentally out of touch with reality when it comes to his view of himself as a godlike figure, as we’ve seen in his many grandiose and delusional statements. At the beginning of his first presidential campaign, Trump said that he could kill somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue and get away with it. That tells you how this man’s mind works. He is a severe sociopath, and his willingness to see others suffer and die pushes him into the realm of a psychopath. What happens to another person’s life means nothing to him. You have to understand, that’s what Trump is. That’s what he does. I have been frustrated for so many years now, really since 2016. What fills me with despair is that I am afraid that the people who need to hear this information about Trump are not listening to it. There are some people who don’t grasp the concept of psychopathy. They’re ignorant, and I don’t say that as an insult. The easiest way to understand Donald Trump is to think of him as a serial killer or a monster. The word ‘monster’ means a creature without empathy, without caring, willing to kill or maim or hurt or destroy anything in its path for its own purposes, a sadistic creature lacking normal human capacities. There’s nothing shocking about Trump’s behavior when you see him for the fundamentally disordered person that he truly is. He is a man much in the mold of Hitler. When a truly evil person came to seize power, the country, the free press was unable to react appropriately, and we still see people who are ‘shocked.’ People still don’t quite understand the enormous danger from Trump. ‘Evil’ is good word to describe him, and once you stop expecting him to be like you or your neighbors or anyone else in your life, then you’re not surprised anymore. Once you understand what is wrong with Donald Trump mentally and emotionally, and how deeply different he is from normal human beings, the rest of it follows. Stop expecting him to be like you or your neighbors. You can’t think of him as a regular person. You can’t think of him as a regular person because he is vastly different from a normal human being. He is a very sick man. But does he know what he’s doing? Of course Donald Trump knows what he’s doing.”

Ascension Avatar note: Donald Trump is not like other human beings on this planet and you can’t treat him as if he is — because he is dead. And he’s been dead for 3 years. America needs to re-think ‘Donald Trump’. Perhaps this will “Make America Think Again”. Unfortunately, too many didn’t bother to think the first time… 🤔

“The narcissist actively solicits Narcissistic Supply — adulation, compliments, admiration, subservience, attention, being feared — from others in order to sustain his fragile and dysfunctional Negative Ego. Thus, he constantly courts possible rejection, criticism, disagreement, and even mockery. The narcissist is, therefore, dependent on other people. He is aware of the risks associated with such all-pervasive and essential dependence. He resents his weakness and dreads possible disruptions in the flow of his drug: Narcissistic Supply. He is caught between the rock of his habit and the hard place of his frustration. No wonder he is prone to raging, lashing and acting out, and to pathological, all-consuming envy (all expressions of pent-up aggression). Narcissistic injury occurs when a narcissist feels that their hidden, ‘true self’ has been revealed. This may be the case when the narcissist experiences a ‘fall from grace’, such as when their hidden behaviors or motivations are revealed, or when their importance is brought into question. Narcissistic Injury is a cause of distress and can lead to dysregulation of behaviors as in narcissistic rage. Any threat (real or imagined) to the narcissist’s grandiose and fantastic self-perception (False Self) as perfect, omnipotent, omniscient, and entitled to special treatment and recognition, regardless of his actual accomplishments (or lack thereof). The narcissist has a false sense of self. Underlying this false sense of self are feelings that he is not loveable for who he is or what he offers in relationships. When a lover or partner begins to feel doubts about the narcissist, that is when the narcissistic rage surfaces.”

A repeated or recurrent identical or similar threat (real or imagined) to the narcissist’s grandiose and fantastic self-perception (False Identity) as perfect, omnipotent, omniscient, and entitled to special treatment and recognition, regardless of his actual accomplishments (or lack thereof). Narcissistic rage is a reaction to narcissistic injury, which is a perceived threat to a narcissist’s self-esteem or self-worth.

Narcissistic injury occurs when a narcissist feels that their hidden, ‘true self’ has been revealed. This may be the case when the narcissist experiences a “fall from grace”, such as when their hidden behaviors or motivations are revealed, or when their importance is brought into question. Narcissistic Injury is a cause of distress and can lead to dysregulation of behaviors as in narcissistic rage.

Narcissistic rage occurs on a continuum, which may range from instances of aloofness and expressions of mild irritation or annoyance to serious outbursts, including violent attacks and murder. [1]

Narcissistic Scar

A repeated or recurrent psychological defense against a narcissistic wound. Such a narcissistic defense is intended to sustain and preserve the narcissist’s grandiose and fantastic self-perception (False Self) as perfect, omnipotent, omniscient, and entitled to special treatment and recognition, regardless of his actual accomplishments (or lack thereof).

Narcissists invariably react with narcissistic rage to narcissistic injury.

Four dimensions of narcissism as a personality variable have been delineated:

Leadership / Authority
Superiority / Arrogance
Self-Absorption / Self-Admiration
Exploitativeness / Entitlement

Causes of Narcissistic Rage

Challenge to their Confidence: People with narcissism often place unrealistic demands on their partner or children. These demands are frequently challenged by the person in the relationship. When challenged, the narcissists’ brittle egos are unable to accept the idea that they were wrong or seen as imperfect. They turn this into a personal attack and respond with rage toward that person to regain their sense of superiority.

Injury to Self-Esteem: When a narcissist’s shortcomings are pointed out by someone, they feel an overwhelming sense of shame. The narcissist then lashes out toward the person who pointed out the shortcomings. The rage is executed to seek revenge upon the accuser. The need for revenge results in explosive rage and does not die down until the narcissist feels the person was dealt appropriate punishment.

False Sense of Self: The narcissist has a false sense of self. Underlying this false sense of self are feelings that he is not loveable for who he is or what he offers in relationships. When a lover or partner begins to feel doubts about the narcissist, that is when the narcissistic rage surfaces. [2]
