[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 674588, member: 18958"] I lifted the quote below from Google. The press is throwing this diagnosis around for Donald Trump. It reminds me of somebody who is close to me. Do you anybody who fits this description? How has it affected your life and self-concept? Who else in public life does this remind you of? I am curious because it will help me understand myself and life better, to see this impersonally. Kernberg described [B]malignant narcissism[/B] as a syndrome characterized by a [B]narcissistic personality disorder[/B] (NPD), antisocial features, paranoid [B]traits[/B], and egosyntonic aggression. Other symptoms may include an absence of conscience, a psychological need for power, and a sense of importance (grandiosity). COPA (Ego-syntonic means that one can behave aggressively and not feel anything disagreeable. No painful conscience. No fear or shame. No guilt. No diminishing of self-esteem. Like going to the kitchen and pouring a glass of milk. I'm thirsty. I need a drink. Like that. No big deal. What's the problem?) That is ego-syntonic as I understand it. [/QUOTE]
