Got a few subscribers for my Youtube account so I thought I should do a welcome video. What do you think?
Just me saying things that are important to me, sharing my increasing insanity with the world. Looking for sanity and to relieve my mind of craziness.

The psychology of narcissism - W. Keith Campbell
Having a (very) positive image about oneself is not necessarily bad. Self love and care and positive assurance that one is capable and worthy of good things is not necessarily a bad thing. What is toxic is the pursuit of being in a good place in this life at the (forced) expense of others. Putting others down or being negative about others' gifts or hurting others in order to get into their space or punishing people for not wanting to add value into your life (or participate in your desires, etc), is not the way to go. Others have a right to their self image and their freedom to be who they want to be and do what they want (as legal as possible and with other consenting adults), without a need to be valued by others. The problem with extreme forms of narcissism is when others need to co-sign on their behaviors of self image for them to feel valued, if people don't want to participate then they seek to hurt them. That is wrong. Freedom works both ways and value is something that (imo) stems from GOD. If a person lacks GOD to provide them with value then they can get it from another source I suppose, but it should never be at the forced expense of others.
