Narcissism

Introduction Love is a kind of psychological expression of self-indulgence and self-confidence. This kind of performance in life will be manifested in excessive admiration, exaggeration, love, dress, love, and so on. Similarly, narcissism is also a concept of psychology, and Freud et al. have also conducted many studies on this behavior of human beings. The original narcissism is the self-love that loves others. The secondary narcissism comes from the narcissistic love of a person who shoots and agrees. Secondary narcissism is either a defensive activity or an attitude because it allows the subject to deny that he has lost the object of intrusion, or is part of the development process. The main difficulty with this concept is that, on the one hand, the word narcissism has an inevitable scorn association, and on the other hand, it is used as a technical term to classify all forms of original intentional investment in the body. Thus the common reference to healthy narcissism is to express the appropriate self-level to distinguish it from excessive self-evaluation.

Cause

Patients with narcissism are rare, but it is said that in recent years there has been an increase in the number of people with narcissistic personality in Western countries. Possible factors that may lead to narcissism are:

1. Family environment. Single-parent families play an important role in the formation of narcissism. Single parents' love and relatives to the only child can be sexual content, and often cause the child to have a sense of affinity or subconsciousness. In addition, parents are divorced because of bad feelings, then the hatred and dissatisfaction of the father or mother to the other side is often expressed in front of the child, so that the child feels that others are not cute, should not be contacted, and promote the emergence of narcissism.

2. Improper parenting style. Parents often consciously or unconsciously praise and favor their children in the face of their children or others. In particular, the only child family in China is the main body of society. Parents are spoiled by children, making children look very high from childhood. Often become the basis of narcissism.

3. Psychological factors. Some parents have a tendency to narcissism to their children, especially fathers to their daughters, mothers to their relatives and pets, and some children to develop their own identity with the opposite sex.

4. Lack of peers. China advocates family planning. The only child lacks heterosexual and same-sex partners at home. If parents do not encourage their children to make friends, and do not provide conditions for children to make friends, or even hinder them, it will promote the emergence of narcissism.

5, with traumatic experience. If some adults have problems that are difficult to solve in one way or another in their dealings with their sexual partners, or they have suffered a major blow in spirit or in the body, they may lose interest in heterosexual or homosexuality and become A narcissist.
