Convincing your child that they really are special amongst their peers may risk turning them into a narcissist, with feelings of superiority and self-satisfaction, according to a new study. Pseudo-self-esteem, an irrational pretense of self value, is a neurotic device to diminish anxiety and provide a spurious sense of security - to assuage a man's need of authentic self-esteem while allowing the real causes of its lack to be evaded.

Explains the extreme narcissism of both Hussein Obama and Rapist Clintoon. I am sure both were overly praised for doing nothing by their mamas while young.

Liberals do not understand the difference between self-esteem and self-worth.

Just as often, neglected, abused, teased, bullied, insulted children develop into narcissists.
