What is narcissism? Someone on Quota posted this:
Is narcissism a choice?
Narcissism is not a choice. It develops in early childhood when a person's personality is forming. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) comes from severe and long-term neglect, abuse, and hurt during upbringing. The neglect is so intense that the child creates an "alter ego" to protect themselves. This alter ego helps reduce the damage from the abuse, but emotionally, the child stays underdeveloped.
I am so grateful I grew up in my family. My father’s name was also Donald.
