No problem FRiend.
There are a few “tells” with predictable explanations.
First, few can imagine the psychic energy it takes to maintain the false self-images. Thus, hair-trigger behavior is the norm. In fact, NPD (N personality disorder) is often found with “co-morbidities” such as Histrionic Personality Disorder...alky/drug abuse...sexual deviance, etc... Realize too, that much of what is known @ NPD is derived from their VICTIMS, since the NPD themselves “have no problems”.
Their greatest fear is abandonment (imho). Because then they must search for another source of narcissistic “supply”; fawning adoration from various rumpswabs will do for a time, but on an individual level, supply is sought from elegant suppliers, that is; those with the character qualities (empathy, compassion, and so forth) that they LACK.
The predictable reaction to loss of supply is rage.
And we see this, don’t we? His rhetoric of late is increasingly unhinged. PS, NPD’s are usually not very guarded in their reactions. He must be giving his handlers fits! (I heard his teleprompter threatened a strike)
But rage? Indeed. The manchild on display resembles nothing but a petulant pre-pubescent boy, ramping up the angst and anger amongst his true believers. It’s pathetic, really. NPD’s are really *not that smart*, (remember, their energies are devoted to maintaining the facade, NOT growing as a person, not responding in healthy ways to life’s challenges and vicissitudes). In fact, it can be high sport to ‘tease out’ such loss-of-control demonstrations with carefully crafted barbs and ridicule; “I thought you were smarter than that, what happened?” and such.
So, I’d say, look for the increase of rage. He’s been falling back on his class and race-warfare platitudes for quite some time now. His union goon muppets are more than happy to oblige as public proxies for now.
Look for an increase of rage. As his mask falls off, no effort will be spared to uphold it.
OH! Ridicule is good. Very good. Nothing gets the NPD’s goat as much as ridicule.
Wow! Thank you so much.
Yours is a field I know nothing about. Thanks.
You mentioned rage, and I remembered when Nixon was walking outside in the sunshine, and he suddenly kicks the aide walking beside him very hard in the butt. Yeah, I’ll watch for rage, as Obama continues to meltdown.
As I mentioned in my first post on this thread, I have had the impression for about a year that Obama has been making all of his speeches to himself. Have you noticed that too?
Thanks for the tip on ridicule because, in all humility, ridicule is one of my MANY strong suits.
My whole family was laughing at Rush's Monday show, when he said this:
I don't know when the next Obama town hall is, but I have the question. If any of you happen to know and happen to be planning on going to the next Obama town hall, I got a question that you can ask him."Mr. President, was it fair that Jewish janitors had to build the intercontinental railroad from the 57 states all the way to the country that speaks Austrian? Was it fair that the Jewish janitors had to build it? Is that not a sign of the systemic racism and bigotry that's always existed in this country, that Jewish janitors had to build the intercontinental railroad?"
