Narcissism

Theory of Self-Relativity defines “Narcissism” or a “Narcissist” as “A weak person who lives with a false sense of grandeur.”

Labeling someone as a narcissist in recent times is an overly utilized social-construct that is easily being applied to those whose ideas or even facts the accusers don’t agree with. Those who loosely label someone a narcissist are doing a disservice to the real people who have been victimized by true narcissists.

Narcissism is a personality-disorder categorized in the DSM (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) as one of the four Cluster-B personality-disorders which is also often referred to as the dramatic, toxic or the high-conflict group. Dealing with narcissists is often defined as a nightmare because narcissists never think they are wrong, they commonly believe everyone else to be inferior to them and they truly believe all they know, is all that there is to know, hence why narcissists often appear arrogant but are truly ignorant. Narcissists generally have a false sense of superiority and grandeur because this self-concocted fallacy is intended to protect the fragile and weak core of the narcissist from exposure. This is why narcissists are called two-faced as they are always wearing the false-facade of deception in dealing with others. This is further reason that it is said one wouldn’t want to be around a ranging narcissist when the false-mask of a narcissist slips off.

Narcissists are often bullies because their aggressive attitude helps push away others from challenging the narcissist so that the false masks that covers the narcissists weak sense of self and fragile self-identity won’t be taken off by facts, reason and the truth. Narcissists are known to be pathological liars hence why they are not interested in hearing facts that would contradict their false and self-serving stance. Narcissists commonly carry traits of psychopathy as they consider other people as objects than as human beings with thoughts and feelings. Narcissism and other personality-disorders are discussed in the book “Theory of Self-Relativity” with emphasis on the role that social-media is playing in cultivating and growing narcissism at a faster-pace than previously occurring.

As a rule of thumb, the best way to deal with narcissists is to not deal with them at all.
