The other thread turned out to be a disaster because I used an unrelated pic, and people fixated on it instead of discussing the topic.

So I will try again. Are there any good books that discuss narcissism, its causes, and its affects on society?

kek, i feel bad for you op.

I don't know of any books on the subject you're talking about, but I can recommend you go back and read the Greeks. Look up the story of Narcissus. Take note of how narcissism is connected to pride. Personal pride. In one's appearance foremost but also possessions*, or even one's own virtuousness.

*Elliott Rodger's BMW, for example, which he believed should have bestowed on him something he deserved (female attention)

Also read about Girard's mimetic theory of desire. Read his book The Scapegoat, it's good.

literally in the Psychology section of the Narcissus article on wikipedia:

In 1898 Havelock Ellis, an English sexologist, used the term "narcissus-like" in reference to excessive masturbation, whereby the person becomes his or her own sex object.[9]

In 1899, Paul Näche was the first person to use the term "narcissism" in a study of sexual perversions.

Otto Rank, in 1911, published the first psychoanalytical paper specifically concerned with narcissism, linking it to vanity and self-admiration.[9]

Sigmund Freud only published a paper exclusively devoted to narcissism in 1914, called "On Narcissism: An Introduction".[10]

Trust me anon, if you haven't had sex before then you don't really desire it. You only want some fantasy produced by your increasingly frustrated sexual instinct. The longer you wait, the more you'll glorify it and the more you'll be disappointed when you actually do it.
