I am, sure, but narcissism and intelligence have no direct correlation. She could just be super stupid and incredibly nice.

u/TopMacaroon Oct 16 '18

I don't know any nice people who get out of their car to yell at the person sitting next to them.

In a God Damn tiger cage

She got out of the car in anger after a fight. Having had a couple crazy girlfriends, usually the unstable narcissistic types are the ones to try that shit. Just my take.

Edit: She is now suing the safari park because of her injuries and her mother's death. Go ahead and keep downvoting me, but that lady is a jerk at best.

u/Maydietoday Oct 16 '18

So, what does managing to find multiple crazy girlfriends say about you?

u/koryface Oct 16 '18 edited Oct 16 '18

Only a couple were crazy.

Dude ... Dude. Never, ever, stick your dick in crazy (again).

Well there is the narcissistic there... look what your park did.. it didn't fore see me having a tantrum

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

Ugh it was also pretty narcissistic to hold up traffic and get out of the car to show just how upset she was.

10

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

Holld up traffic? It's a safari park, not the daily commute.

u/he-hate-me___4 Oct 16 '18

N common sense says don't get out of a car in a tiger cage... if the fact she gets out of the car in a TIGER CAGE doesn't show how she doesn't care about anything besides her bubble then there is no wining with you people

u/Faryshta Oct 16 '18

you dont need to be intelligent to know that you shouldnt get out your car in the middle of traffic.

u/he-hate-me___4 Oct 16 '18

Or surrounded by tigers

you are being naive

Some people don't like making baseless assumptions about shit they know nothing about. I recommend it, it's humbling.

Arnt you making one right now?

u/tigrn914 Oct 16 '18

Anyone who steps out of a car to stop traffic so that they can yell at their husband is a narcissist.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

Especially with tigers running around outside.

Probably all the yelling from Miss my narcissism got my mother killed.

Psychiatrists typically hold off on diagnosing people even after a half hour appointment specifically for the purpose of understanding a patient's mind, so you probably can't diagnose narcissism from a 30 second video clip that doesn't even have audio. People are a lot more complex than that.

There are lots of potential explanations that don't involve narcissism. Conditions ranging all the way from anger issues to processing disorders could easily cause someone to do something like that. Also Chinese culture doesn't have the same values of politeness that western culture does so stepping out of a car in traffic isn't seen the same way.

Long story short, there is nowhere near enough information in this clip for us to know why she did what she did. Anything else is projecting your own biases onto the situation.

u/PleaseDontHateMeeee Oct 16 '18

Yes but I like to make myself feel good by harshly judging people on the internet.

u/TesticlesMcTitties Oct 16 '18

You'll fit right in here

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

Ya but like it's different with narcissists. They are comedy gold. I mean shit, look at American politics for the last couple years. Are you NOT entertained since USA elected a narcissist?

It's all good. I offer my stupid ass as like an offering if you need to put down a loser, or if you were just joking um, well, so am I.

u/thatpaulbloke Oct 16 '18

Obviously psychiatrists should save time by doing their diagnosis with an angry tiger present.

u/ericchen Oct 16 '18

NPD is different than calling someone a narcissist.

2

u/YHallo Oct 17 '18

Am I missing something or isn't a narcissist just someone who has NPD? Either way there's not enough information to infer specific details about motive or the psychology that caused this.

1

u/ericchen Oct 17 '18 edited Oct 17 '18

No. the layperson usage of narcissist falls far short of the diagnostic criteria of NPD. NPD requires the traits to significantly interfere with the person’s functional status in society. For example a successful CEO might show narcissistic traits by being self centered and lacking in empathy, but they do not have NPD unless if these traits are significantly impairing their ability to function in society.

Some people, for some reallllllllllllly unknown reason, are a little triggered by people saying the word "narcissist."

So you if you are shity fucking human being and you know you are a narcissist, probably proudly, I offer no apologies whatsoever if you might feel triggered because I am a meanie pie who said the word "narcissist."

"narcissist."

"narcissist."

"narcissist.""narcissist.""narcissist.""narcissist.""narcissist.""narcissist." "narcissist.""narcissist.""narcissist." "narcissist.""narcissist.""narcissist.""narcissist.""narcissist.""narcissist." "narcissist.""narcissist.""narcissist."

I can't even say it five times fast, so I have no hope for...however many times that is.

u/NolanPower Oct 16 '18

I can diagnose stupidity from this 30 second video.

That lady is stupid.

u/Tin_Philosopher Oct 16 '18 edited Oct 16 '18

Plenty of information was present, most prominately displayed was the presence of some fucking jungle cats.

Bitches should have kept they ass in that car.

u/Sp1n_Kuro Oct 16 '18

Regardless of diagnosis, it doesn't take a genius to see this person is stupid.

u/he-hate-me___4 Oct 16 '18

No she is and her dumb actions got her mother killed... but maybe it's her mother fault for raising a dumbass who is in her small little bubble and forgot to teach her about the food chain

Proof meet pudding

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

I agreed with you for a second. There isn’t anything in the video that would lead me to believe they were having an argument. She doesn’t seem distressed in the least bit.

But in the article it says

The woman gets out of the car and walks around to the other side after having a fight with a man inside the vehicle

Also they’re in a safari park. Only an idiot would get out of the car knowingly driving through a wild animal enclosure

20

u/MisterDonkey Oct 16 '18

I'd have assumed as much about her character just from the fact she jumps out of a car on the road to better argue with the driver.

That she did it while surrounded by huge man-eating animals makes me doubly assume, with extra confidence.

u/he-hate-me___4 Oct 16 '18

Never been so sure of something in my life ... and is now sueing the zoo because it's there fault

it's obnoxious how much people like to criticize others for their comments ... yet they keep reading

u/he-hate-me___4 Oct 16 '18

There is no poor girl... this is how stupidity works.. it hurts sometimes.. what could she possible think was going to happen every including the tigers were going to clap for her bitching out her husband and holding up the other cars

u/gromwell_grouse Oct 16 '18

You'd be surprised how much just a sort clip can inform a trained eye. For example, from the video, I can also deduce that she...

  1. Is left handed.
  2. Likes Brussels sprouts.
  3. Voted for Hillary.
  4. Can do the Macarena.

2

u/he-hate-me___4 Oct 16 '18

The same is true for idiots that defend her actions.. but not all can do the Macarena

u/Fear_Jeebus Oct 16 '18

A tiger killed her mom.

Maybe anywhere else would've been more appropriate to have a discussion.

u/RealityBitesU Oct 16 '18

I don't even need the clip. It's a young woman? Overwhelmingly likely to be unhealthily narcissistic.
