That’s Dr. Keith Ablow. He has a show on FOX.

Unfortunately, he is “Johnny One Note” about narcissists and narcissism - he sees them everywhere, in everything. It got real old after he made his “name” on TV with the Peterson case.

Thanks. And I didn't know that, nor that he classified Peterson as a Narcissist. But that is another prime example, for sure.

It might become "old" and you might think he is a "johnny one note," but thank goodness he is saying it. Evidently he wants to make people aware of the type of negative narcissism that is so destructive, yet hard for others who have not had it touch their lives, believe in. Having your life turned upside down by a narcissist is something one will never forget. And, so many in jail - so many criminals - are true malignant narcissists. It is that personality dysfunction that enables them to do their dastardly deeds without remorse, and feel that they have been "framed," or the world is against them, etc. It is a typical pattern...we will see it again with OJ once more this time.

A funny aspect of narcissism is that truly, deep inside, the narcissist wants to be punished!!! It is that attention thing again. If they are being punished, it means that someone was hurt. If someone was hurt, it means they had power. And power over someone, anyone, everyone is what they want. That is how they think. Their mind thinks in ways the normal mind just does not understand. They know they are doing/have done wrong; so they know punishment is due...but the punishment is also like a dessert - because it brings attention, and they must have attention!

OJ might appear to be angry about being accused, but he is truly also happy to have the attention, and the fact that he might face jail satisfies his desire to be punished. That is a masochistic aspect of narcissistic behavior.

Watch the fireworks...he will jump through all the typical behavior patterns of a narcissistic mind as this story unfolds.
