Perhaps the Network Should Take His Advice?

Just in Case Some Evildoer Pretends I'm Lazy · Forgiveness? Or Capitulation? What is one asking of me? · Perhaps the Network Should Take His Advice? · Also from a Narcissist Network?

As a network. Not asking each individual member to take it, irrespective of what relation they had with me, and thereby taking turns to get at me, but as a whole. No network discussions of me.

Could you have a kind of unhealthy relation with the phenomenon of individual narcissists?

I counted to 44 videos on your channel. 13, more than one quarter, have the word "narcissist" in them.

Now, I am an individual often taken for a narcissist by some. But they form networks, which I perceive as narcissistic in their collective behaviour. For instance, if three men I don't love consider me a narcissist, and as a result they tell a girl I love who wasn't spontaneously herself taking me for a narcissist, that I nevertheless am one. They teach her the signs to look out for, and obviously chose the things that anyway come closest to my actual or actually perceived behaviour. After a while, they have succeeded in eliminating her from my life. When I then try to make my life with another girl, supposing I see that as definitive, they do the same with the next girl.

The words you have cited from the Bible about a "narcissist" ... well, the word is not there. Perhaps the concept is not there:

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise
Proverbs 26:4-5

When Protestants who pretend to Bible alone, and who, when attacking a loner among Catholics will insist he has no leg to stand on when it comes to a right to remain Catholic, unless he can individually, without appealing to his Church, document that from the Bible .... when they get at one, and I respond with the Bible, how long can I go on searching proof text after proof text in the spirit of verse 5, before they have made me a joyless diminished copy of themselves, according to verse 4?

And even here, I'm speaking of a network, while the word here is cited about an individual, and so probably not appropriate.

The verses usually cited as about narcissists in the Bible are in fact about networks, like the Pharisees. So, what is more probable? I am individually a narcissist? Or a network is a narcissistic one?

If you think I should consider myself the "fool" of Proverbs 26, 4 and 5 ... aren't you thereby calling me a fool? Might depend on how synonymous "aphron" (LXX version of Proverbs 26) and "moros" (Matthew 5:22) are to each other.

I think that networks exhibiting narcissism very often do so in the name of correcting individual narcissism in someone (member or recruit or prospective recruit) and that this obsession with individual narcissism is kind of a hallmark of narcissistic networks.

I googled "narcissismawareness". One of the first things that turned up was:

Self-awareness and introspection in Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)

And what was the position of this man?

Whom does he cite?

Nathan Salant-Schwartz — a Jungian, whose ideology was formed in Puritan Switzerland. Like Russia not a country I'd chose to go to.

Another top hit was The Importance of Self-Awareness: Insights into Narcissism and Emotional Triggers by M. Elizabeth Blair (US expat to Mexico) citing Tasha Eurich from NYC. I'll give Tasha this, a citation in the paper:

Tasha Eurich and her lab conducted a multi-year study and found that 95% of people believe they are self-aware about how they’re perceived, but only 10–15% are. Concerningly, Eurich has also demonstrated that the lack of self-awareness is higher among people with more power, the ones whose cluelessness can do more damage.

I think the fact I react on videos about narcissism shows a self-awareness about how I'm perceived by certain people (though I'd call it an awareness about them), namely as a narcissist. Any network dealing with me involves people with more actual access to power than I have. And I don't see any self-awareness in them.
