Tattlers, I have tried to get my friend on here (my psychiatrist friend) but she is not a bit user of forums, I have tried to get her on here but she’s not having it. Anyway, as always I annoyed her with endless questions about narcissistic personality disorder this evening and asked about social media prevalence with it. She said at this time, there just isn’t a huge amount of studies on NPD, let alone the prevalence of it in social media influencers but she could certainly speculate…
so she is sure that hinch has npd and said the reason she responded to that comment tonight as because:
hinch has built up her army of flying monkeys to such a degree she knows her bad behaviour won’t even be called out as the people that DO see through her will be too scared to call it out in fear of insults and threats from her “army”
hinch gets taken aback when people DO have the courage to call it out, especially on her social media profiles as she truly believes her following are just too intimidating to face.
basically, she truly thinks she’s untouchable at the moment.
she did say that with narcs they internalise this thought process and become so good at lying or presenting the image that they want that even THEY believe the lies they tell and their own image. But deep down, they are aware and most have very low self esteem and behave in this way for superiority and a sense of purpose.
i love my friend, she explains things in a way that make it understandable! She does believe there is a huge link between NPD and a lot of social media influencers but again, it’s hard to prove when so many sm influencers believe they are perfect and npd patients rarely come forward for help
