(1 post)Narcissistic people like trump are basically afraid of people that are different from the norm because they know they themselves are different. They desperately seek to be normal, to have feelings, to be real, but they lack any semblance of real feelings so they act like they do but there is nothing inside of them at all.

The maker of this vedo is a mental health professinal with a specialty in narcissism (or, probably more accurately, codependency with narcissists). She has a whole channel with quite a bit of advice. She doesn't claim to know everything or to be perfct, but it's clear she has seen a lot.

Also, I can assure her that narcissists can indeed be caregivers. A huge percentage of doctors are narcissists, especially surgeons and specialists. Other advanced medical professionals, like some of the more advanced nursing professions, are chock full of narcissists as well.
I grew up in a medical professional home. I saw and experienced the narcissism in the upper echelons of medicine, first hand.

(12,539 posts)I subscribe to her YouTube channel. She explains a lot about why disordered people like Donald are the way they are (including disordered people in your life, too). I highly recommend her videos.
EDIT: I can see that ie: narcissists being caregivers. In that role they get to be "heroes" and gain status. So, there's lots of narcissistic supply in that for them. I used to work in the medical field too and I saw it! Definitely!

But tsf is a sociopath as well as a narcissist. Sociopath describes him better. For example:
1) he doesn't even understand why ppl would join the military.
2) he messes up sometimes with believing ppl are like him. It's really an Achilles heel.
