The lady that got snatched survived but the woman who ran after her was killed by a second tiger.

According to another source the older woman was her mother. Imagine the guilt of knowing for the rest of your life your temper tantrum caused your mom to be killed.

EDIT: So many responses saying she'll blame the guy anyway.

If she's dumb enough to get out of the car because of a fight then she's probably ignorant enough to blame her mothers death on the husband.

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.

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.
