so I watched this freak of nature. it’s really fucking bad oh my stars.
it hinges entirely on the idea that narcissists are the worst people in the world, essentially, and gives you a bunch of scenarios that are just people being abusive as opposed to actually narcissistic.
in the very opening it says that everyone knows one, and everyone who is one doesn’t know it. how horribly wrong this is. i don’t even think i have to explain that one.
all example pwnpd in the video were only narcissists by the abuse they cause on others and no other factors. there was no example of one who may get their supply from being nice, one who may be over the top in their want of attention and compliments, one who may care about nobody fucking at all because of how above they see themselves. the video pushes a very specific idea that narcissist equals bad, a narcissist cannot be kind just to be kind, and everything they do will be to keep you beneath them and you knowing that. these are all assuming that you can spot a narcissist by their evil behaviors.
it also obviously completely fails to acknowledge npd where npd comes from, and the idea that someone could be trying to better bad behaviors, as in the start it says that “no narcissists know they are one” (not quoting verbatim)
there are things we have done that you could consider manipulative and for our own gain, but guess what? looking back we do not feel great about those! because we are a person who can know they are doing something bad. we have flawed and selfish thoughts and we do not act on them because we know that would be bad, and that they are flawed and selfish, no matter how much we feel like we should be allowed to act on them. we can expect attention because we feel like we deserve it and get upset when we don’t receive it. and we can also realize that sometimes we’re being bratty and need to reassess how we’re feeling and thinking. because we are a 3 dimensional person. something this video completely fails to acknowledge about pwnpd to have a funny haha test about “could you be one?” and then give the craziest answers to all the already out-there scenarios that you only guess once you start thinking as equally outlandishly.
at least it didn’t mention the evil narc eyes or suggest trying to make us split. this video is an insult
if any of this doesn’t make sense then whatever. i’m just mad. it’s 2026 and we’re still doing this?
