How can you really tell if someone is a narcissist, a sociopath or a psychopath?
When we look at true narcissism, there's criteria you have to meet. Some of the research that I had looked at said one out of 25 people will be one of these. So one out of 25 people will have this tendency to meet this criteria.
Really? 1 out of 25.
1 out of 25. Maybe a little bit of narcissism, but 1 out of 25. I think narcissism is going up in our culture right now and I think we are seeing a bit more of it. And the reason why I think we're seeing that a lot is the United States, predominantly, I can't speak to other countries as much, is a very identity culture. We're all me, me, me, me, me. I feel like this, my feelings need to be validated. I need this, I need that. And then with that, social media has made us more self focused rather than outward focused. So we are more identity, we lack more empathy as well. Social media has also done that.
