Is insecurity a subset of narcissism?

[blqbird]

Thinking about the overall western focus on self-absorbtion and the "me" mentality. It tends to only focus on the excessively positive light people view themselves in and not the opposite. Do brehs who suffer from deep insecurities also fall on the spectrum of narcissism?

Isn't insecurity still just you focusing on yourself before anyone else?

No, it isn’t a subset. Narcissism usually involves the opposite of insecurity as a guide. Nor is insecurity a result of narcissism; it’s a result of consciousness...

Have you actually met a true narcissist? narcissist are actually really insecure behind the facsde of loving themselves they are so insecure they can’t deal with their feelings hence why they project manipulate guilt trip etc. to avoid facing oneself. Their false sense of self is to overcompensate for their emotionally immaturity. They literally cannot handle self accountability, guilt etc.

After reading your response, I’d have to ask you the same. What you typed, That’s not what narcissism is. You’re projecting your personal opinions about the narcissist. Truth is, people are full of themselves (narcissists) for different reasons...

I’m saying, your “deeper” analysis is a projection of YOUR feelings, not what the narcissist is experiencing.

Like you’re fukked up, not them. You can’t even label “them” correctly...

and im not wrong.. narcissists are deeply troubled people. and complex. googling some
of their qualities is barely going to scratch the surface of them

If you've ever had a relationship with a true narcissist you'd know what she's saying is spot on

Narcissistic personality disorder - Symptoms and causes

At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they perceive as criticism, and they can:

• Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special treatment
• Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted
• React with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior
• Have difficulty regulating emotions and behavior
• Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change
• Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection
• Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation

That’s a person suffering from narcissistic personality disorder, which all narcissists don’t suffer from, and, at the same time, isn’t the definition of narcissism, which was my point in the initial exchange...
