 The narcissist wants this more than anything else, there is something that is more valuable to a narcissist than anything else, something that they deem to be very valuable and it is something that is more important to them than money because they're actually not that concerned about money as you may think, many of them already have money and a lot of the yaks that they're engaged in aren't making them any richer and they may even be putting themselves in situations where they could be losing money because there is something that has now become even more valuable and that is your attention, you're taking notice of them and regarding them as something interesting or important, your observation and attentiveness which results in more radical and extreme views and more reckless behavior where people are heedless of danger and of the consequences of their actions, where people are doing dangerous things and not worrying about the risks and the possible results because people are now willingly changing their beliefs in the hopes that it will persuade other people to change theirs, people are transforming themselves into something else in the hopes that it will influence or control other people because of the exchange of energy and attention, people used to do it for money and the more money you gave to them the more they would be willing to do for you but now they don't even need the money, they don't need anything material, physical or real, they just need to be seen, they need to be viewed and watched so now attention is replacing currency, people are seeking attention which they see as being more valuable than money which is why you will see more and more destructive acts and that is actually one of the main traits of narcissistic personality disorder because as we all know, narcissists are attention seekers and attention whores, they are people who behave in a provocative, outrageous and reprehensible manner in order to attract attention regardless of whether or not they are attached, they will seek out the attention of other people to make themselves feel admired and adored so that people look at them and they can feel important, it's being encouraged and promoted because people are looking so they get what they want, they get an attention at the risk of danger or harm to themselves or other people which by this point they are not even taken into consideration because now that's not even a concern to them, even though they may know that it may cause problems or trouble but the attention they are getting outweighs that because it's more important to them, they value attention more than safety, security, stability and comfort which is a serious problem because now people are trying to outdo each other, they are trying to be superior in action or performance so it becomes very competitive where people are trying to copy each other's behaviors and ideas, they are becoming more and more susceptible to other people's influence and control because they are willing to copy, imitate, mimic and follow the lead of other people, they are willing to adopt their behavior and practices if it means that they can get what they want which is your attention because that's what they are competing for but now they are exceeding what is usual or reasonable, they are going to great lengths and it's affecting society psychologically, it's affecting people's minds and emotional states because it's being promoted and it's very powerful and effective because there's a lot of broken down people out there, people who are in a very poor condition as a result of disuse and neglect, people who are negligent of their duties and obligations, people who don't have anything else to do so they are out there just looking for some acknowledgement, just getting the attention that they want because they have no higher purpose, they have no meaningful objective or goal and instead they are just running around in circles hoping that people will notice them and it's having a very powerful effect on narcissists because they are very competitive and they always have to establish their superiority over other people, they are always seeking attention so now they will go out and commit destructive acts so that people will notice them because attention is now the new currency, it has more value than money because society is now influenced by narcissism, it's influenced by extreme self involvement where people are constantly wrapped up in themselves and their own thoughts to the point where they now ignore the needs of other people around them which creates a vicious cycle because now the people who aren't getting their needs met may see that they just need to become more narcissistic as well or else they may be left behind so now people are trying to outdo each other which means that you will see more and more reckless behaviour, you will see more and more thoughtless people who don't care about anything else but themselves because it's so easy for them to get attention, all they have to do is put it out there and then someone will see it because so many people have such a low capacity for intelligent thoughts they lack intellectual ability so they are easily entertained by these destructive acts of behaviours which means that narcissism is being promoted because there's a reward for these types of behaviours and that reward is your attention and while it may have resulted in devastating consequences they don't mind because they still got what they wanted, they got the result that they were looking for which is why you will see more narcissistic behaviour, you will see more people who are only interested in themselves and their own activities because we are giving them what they want, we are giving them that identification and recognition, people know who they are so people will remember them, people will be thinking about them and that's exactly what they want which is why these things shouldn't even be acknowledged, they shouldn't be exposed to the collective consciousness, they should be kept private and this should be common sense, it should be at the basic level of practical knowledge and judgement but yet these behaviours and activities are being broadcasted on the news or on social media which is only promoting it and making it even worse, thank you for
