 Is narcissism seen in over 50% of the population? This is just a short video, but I felt that I had to make a video about this. I was watching a very interesting video of the other day. It's called understanding the narcissist. Why do they treat you in this way? It is a med-circle interview with Dr Ramanee who is a psychologist and a narcissism expert. I was watching this video and I thought it was very interesting what she said 9 minutes into the video. For those of you who have not seen the video yet, I am going to quote what she said. Narcissistic personality disorder. We only see it in maybe 1-5% of people. Narcissism. I'm willing to tip that number over 50% at this point. After I heard her say that, I knew I had to make a video about it. Not because I disagree, or because I'm surprised to hear someone say that, but because she's a psychologist and she's saying that. While psychologists tend to downplay what it really is, because maybe they're afraid of the backlash or criticism, but she was open and honest about it. She said what she really believed, and I have to say that I completely agree with her. As she said, narcissistic personality disorder is only seen in 1-5% of people. And while that may not seem like a lot, that number could be anywhere between 78 million and 390 million people in the world. While Dr. Armani believes that narcissism may be seen in over 50% of the population, which would mean over 3.9 billion people, narcissism may not be quite as extreme as narcissistic personality disorder. But it is still affecting people. It is still causing problems in people's lives. Narcism could be defined as a tendency to think very highly of yourself. To think that you're special or superior to other people, to lack consideration for other people, and be excessively concerned with your own profit or pleasure, to show an excessively high opinion of your own appearance, abilities or worth. These types of people do not care about the world or anyone in it. They only care about this delusional, idealistic view of themselves, which isn't even who they are. So they're constantly detached from reality. They have this ghastly mindset where it's every man for himself. Or they have to get you before you get them. Really dangerous people to be around. And they are very envious and jealous. They are always trying to take something from you while giving you nothing in return, because they have nothing to give. They operate in this delusional, idealistic view of themselves, which doesn't even exist. So all they can do is take from people to prop up this false self that they've created. And Dr Ramanee believes that this could be seen in over 50% of the population. Which I completely agree with. Just look at the news and the politicians. Large corporations. Social media. I'm not here to convince you. I'm just here to make you aware. And I am very interested to know your opinion on this. So please let me know in the comments below. Do you think that narcissism can be seen in over 50% of the population? Do you think that narcissism is growing? Please let me know. That's all for this video. Thank you for watching and I will talk to you soon.
