View submission: Collective narcissism is still pathology; the fallacy of referencing normative behavior in sick societies in psychological defenses against international failure, collective male narcissism and sexism, threatedness of male narcissists to women leaders and their deeper links to their societies

Saving to read tomorrow morning; raised Polish Catholic w/ CSA on fathers side intergenerational and across that family (ending w/ me); psychopathy, narcissism, Catholicism, fascism combined—still hitting too close to home to read abt predatory creatures and demons at night.

I follow this sub v closely and am grateful for the work you’re putting in here. Like, my dumb little words don’t do justice. As a survivor, reading about the pathology from a methodological study perspective is as weird as it may sound, comforting. This narc shit doesn’t belong here and it’s a cancer and a scourge.

Your words aren't dumb and I am so honored to know that I am helping you as a survivor, giving you validation that what you went through is seriously abnormal. I'm glad that validation is comforting. You deserve psychological safety. You deserve safety in general. That is not something narcissists offer. And yeah, I'm actually posting something tomorrow about how narcissism is tied to climate change so talk about it being a scourge.

I feel you on all of that. I have Polish family that has narcissism, psychopathy, and fascism as well. There are TONS of empathetic features to the Poles, see my pinned post for myself as a user, but there is also a lot of narcissism in Poles, especially women betraying other women on the issue of abortion which is to me just not acceptable.

Yes. This is not a space for narcissists. I'm glad it is helping people like you feel safe and comfortable. That means the world to me. Take your time reading; it's not going anywhere.
