In Defense of Narcissism

[Cyan]

That's an interesting concept, which offers a different, and not negatively connotated functionality.

So in that regard, what would the narcissistic "clothing" protect one from?

"...For her, narcissistic needs and tendencies are not inherent in human nature."

This part, and the part where others realize this part.

I Was/am call a narcissist in adult quite often.

Back in pre-school and 1-2nd grade All adults that i liked and that liked me called me a man from space that you could talk with about anything. I was about 8-9 at that time.

You tell me, I really dont have an answer to the narcissist question. I just think that the chemical metaphor is perhaps more apt than most, considering that emotions are the body's equivelant (natural version of) chemicals. So, what do the clothes protect from I wonder.

Just as your body needs clothes to make you able to both experience the highs and lows associated with a wide spectrum of living (humans inhabit areas from -40 to + 40Celcius comfortably.) Your mind needs clothes to make you able to associate with others more comfortably. Some people can walk around in their underwear all day long, most cant.

Anyway, feels like an apt metaphor.
