Some commentators contend that the American populace has become increasingly narcissistic since the end of World War II. People compete mightily for attention. In social situations they tend to steer the conversation away from others and toward themselves. The profusion of popular literature about "listening" and "managing those who talk constantly about themselves" suggests its pervasiveness in everyday life. This claim is substantiated by the growth of "reality TV" programs, the growth of an online culture in which digital media, social media and the desire for fame are generating a "new era of public narcissism."

Also supporting the contention that American culture has become more narcissistic is an analysis of US popular song lyrics between 1987 and 2007. This found a growth in the use of first-person singular pronouns, reflecting a greater focus on the self, and also of references to antisocial behavior; during the same period, there was a diminution of words reflecting a focus on others, positive emotions, and social interactions. References to narcissism and self-esteem in American popular print media have experienced vast inflation since the late 1980s. Between 1987 and 2007 direct mentions of self-esteem in leading US newspapers and magazines increased by 4,540 per cent while narcissism, which had been almost non-existent in the press during the 1970s, was referred to over 5,000 times between 2002 and 2007.

I 100% agree there is a gendered component to Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), probably having to do with the roles our society forces men and women to play, but i think once you get to the individual level it gets pretty complicated. in my own experience i've seen that men seem to exhibit sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies more often (often for manipulation/personal gain- when you see a self-made millionaire from humble beginnings, it seems like there's a 50%+ chance of a personality disorder of some kind) whereas women more often exhibit NPD-type characteristics in order to get emotional needs met.

it seems like our society rewards people who are willing/able to skillfully manipulate others, my theory is that there's a direct connection between the hierarchical power structure in politics/corporate culture and the disordered/sociopathic personalities which tend to succeed. it's a feedback loop- "free market" capitalism rewards psychopaths, psychopaths make the world more psychopathic.

Personally i find it most insidious when the psychopaths in question have taken oaths to serve others, as in the case of politicians, medical professionals, or corporations ostensibly serving the public good

Anyone born in the past <70 years probably has more narcissistic tendencies because they find a million different ways to feel special, whether it's astrological signs, sexual identity, political identity, gender pronouns, or mental health labels. People just get progressively more interested in labeling themselves with unique identifiers so they can stand out.

Then comes the issue of entitlement. Everyone feels entitled and like they're in the right. They all feel like the world owes them because they didn't have a perfect life, or maybe they did have a great life and they just expect that special treatment from everyone.

Finally, we're bloodthirsty. Many of us have a truth we hold in our hearts and a strong sense for seeing justice be done to that truth. The people in power have carefully orchestrated a duality to truth and then convinced each side that his or hers is the right one. Then they stoke the flames of drama get get people really riled up to the point where we would have fought a blood civil war already if we all weren't completely comfortable, lazy, and incapable.

Narcissism is the delta that emerges from the previous three conditions: 1) attributing unique identifiers to oneself, 2) entitlement issues, 3) aggressive propensity for one's own version of social justice.

Remove these things from humanity and you'll know peace.

It changes with your skill level, naturally. Sometimes a simpler, family friendly, show is my temperment. Not always in the mood for a hardcore lecture, after all.

I have a different take on this.
The same amount of narcissists always existed.

Its just every single one of them is drawn to social media like flies to shit so there seems more of them.
100% of narcissists vs 50% of everyone else makes it seem like their is more narcissists than before.

Take video games for example. A group of people stream and a group of people min max. Those are the narcicists.
But a fuckload of people also play the games doing none of those things.

Imagine investing 100s of hours into a 20 year old mmorpg like world or warcraft just because you believe you are better than others and need to prove it.

simple case of the decline in our genetics. our civilisation has removed selection pressures that kill off the dumb, uncooperative, mentally deformed, physically impaired, or in any other way sub par.

the same shit were seeing now happened in rome, bagdad, greece, etc. only difference is that it’s happening faster than back then because we’re so successful; the selection pressures are so reversed.

don’t worry civilisation will once again collapse into dark ages for many centuries. of course due to our success, our fall will be very far, so it might be another two to three thousand years till we get back here again.

oh by the way, warmer climates lower selection pressures for intelligence.

The bit about print media might be misleading (unintentionally), because low self esteem is part of the reason people crave attention talk excessively about themselves. Not sure where I read this, but people who are depressed also spend a great deal more time talking about themselves. If you live with someone who goes through mood swings you may have noticed this first hand, especially if their moods are triggered by an issue with their physical health.

Maybe it's not narcissism at all, but an untreatable component of depression which comes from the ridiculous amount of social isolation we have allowed to become the norm.

It would be virtue signalling if i was trying to signal my virtuousness, which i am not. I am only making an observational statement about Trump's intentions in building the wall. Note that there is nothing inherently wrong with virtue signalling. It is the only way one can make clear to a community of strangers that one is a virtuous person and can be trusted. Even if the wall would have functioned as an effective barrier it's intent was to signal to the people voting for trump that he cared about what they wanted and was listening to them, i.e. he was virtue signalling. And in this he was very successful. The actual functionality of the wall was incidental to its main purpose. Many people use virtue signalling as some kind of insult but it is an integral part of human behaviour in crowds.

>Some commentators contend that the American populace has become increasingly narcissistic since the end of World War II. People compete mightily for attention. In social situations they tend to steer the conversation away from others and toward themselves. The profusion of popular literature about "listening" and "managing those who talk constantly about themselves" suggests its pervasiveness in everyday life. This claim is substantiated by the growth of "reality TV" programs, the growth of an online culture in which digital media, social media and the desire for fame are generating a "new era of public narcissism."

>Also supporting the contention that American culture has become more narcissistic is an analysis of US popular song lyrics between 1987 and 2007. This found a growth in the use of first-person singular pronouns, reflecting a greater focus on the self, and also of references to antisocial behavior; during the same period, there was a diminution of words reflecting a focus on others, positive emotions, and social interactions. References to narcissism and self-esteem in American popular print media have experienced vast inflation since the late 1980s. Between 1987 and 2007 direct mentions of self-esteem in leading US newspapers and magazines increased by 4,540 per cent while narcissism, which had been almost non-existent in the press during the 1970s, was referred to over 5,000 times between 2002 and 2007.

It's women.
Women do it to get attention from men
Men are having to engage in narcissistic displays to affirm social status in social media to get women.
This is what happens when you give them sexual freedom. They have high levels of sexual power that it's taboo to discuss the ramifications of. Any time you do, the blame is shifted into men again. Simps are bad, but at a certain point you have to acknowledge their rational faculties are being inhibited beyond their conscious control.
