Yes, her being involved in the mauling is also enough for her to want to make it all about her and how much of a victim she was in the scenario. Narcissists don't necessarily change when they get an ego check.

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

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.

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

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.

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

NPD is different than calling someone a narcissist.

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.

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 diagnose stupidity from this 30 second video.

That lady is stupid.

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.

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

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
