UPON REVIEW OF SOME EMPOWERED ONES smile? Smile? What’s the smile for? Who are the empowered ones? What does empowered mean? Is this ‘us’ and ‘them’? Can you sense a little disagreement coming up…..? but I can’t resist, ahhhh Candyman (isn't the Candyman actually so attractive? like death and taxes?).

The etiology (spelling doesn’t matter does it?) of narcissism?

Okay: the etiology is interesting to me, a little, because I’m interested. But I’m interested in black holes too. And parallel universes. And eating tapas. Moose. Van Gogh. Shirley Manson. Alice Miller. Fireworks. Lightning. Negative ions.

Pick-picking the idea of narcissism to death is a pretty focussed and narrow objective. And to be frank, Frank (who’s Frank?) it’s……boring! Boring! We spend half our lives being manipulated by them and the other half….studying them? Oh eewwwww. Better things to do. :D

I visited NPA and I gave it a shot. I gave it 24 hours thinking about it in the back of my head. I looked at the forum members. I got some narcissistic (I tested balanced NPA remember?) semi-secret-society type thrill out of it. Then I felt better. Then I came back to a reality I find much more inclusive, helpful and human. And humane. Here! Sorry.

The way we treat our children determines the people they become. If we give people the knowledge and tools to become more self-aware, if we give children knowledge of emotions, basic psychology and social (world) history, just maybe we can do a little better. But we're not doing badly anyway.

Investigating the causes of narcissism is important. But it’s not the main game, not to me. I know what it is now, I can recognise it and I can do a tiny bit in the real world to help those who may be at risk. Rather than navel-gazing and encouraging others to gaze at my navel with me. Oh that image is gross. Sorry.

I interpret this site as being for the voiceless and for emotional survival. It’s not just about narcissism and I'd lobby Dr Grossman (Hi Dr G) against going down that route if he chose to! It’s nothing to do with me but that doesn’t stop me having strong views on the subject.

Haha. I’m such a big-gob sometimes. Maybe I just threw a two and a six?

PS. The short answer is: I don't want the NPA site here and i vote against it. It has it's own site. That's enough. Don't be greedy.

Anonymous:
I don't understand what you are doing here.  I see these strange usernames and wonder why you don't just pick a name stick with it?  Why not tell us something about yourself, your story, your feelings whatever?

This latest post seems like you want more forums here or maybe your own forum.  What's the point?  I can't understand half of what you post in the forums that are already here.

We are here sharing but what are you doing?  It would be nice to read something from you that shows you are willing to share too.

Portia:
Guest poster above, I’ll talk to you because I guess this is bugging you? And should anyone wonder (I’ve been accused of being multiple posters before, and yes, that still bugs me a little), that wasn’t me posting above (I’m asleep at 11.12pm US time…that’s …er…4.12 am to me and I don’t post in the middle of the night). Here's what i think.

Not understanding someone’s intentions/objectives makes us suspicious. I think that’s a normal human reaction. We want to protect ourselves from those who may harm us, or harm anything we hold dear. If we feel we don’t know why someone is behaving as they do, it makes us uncomfortable. We don’t know what they might do next. We tend to be on our guard, vigilant. That is an environment many of us are familiar with, unfortunately. It’s not a relaxed environment, it’s not conducive to disclosing more about ourselves, sharing, trusting, allowing ourselves to come out of the dark. We need to be able to be vulnerable, equally, with each other. I think this is a special environment, here.

Now talking to the poster of various names: we don’t know what your purpose here is. What is it? This is a “forum to discuss your experience with Voicelessness”. Are you doing this, in your own way? I guess if you don’t want to share, to discuss, then this isn’t the place for you.

To the last poster again: fear is a strange thing. I was fearful about posting the first reply here, then i thought, why? Because i might get an angry response? Because I might be behaving 'badly'? Better to remain silent :?  on the subject...? I'm glad you spoke up. Are you a regular posting member? If so, want to say so? What's the worse that could happen...<mind goes blank, not unusual>...what's the best thing? Don't know. It might feel good :D Like taking your clothes off in public :shock: ooops. Personal fantasy just slipped out..... :roll:
