Narcissists tend to flex more than other people because they feel bad about themselves. Psychopaths don't do this for two reasons: They're trying their aliens and human like in flesh suits Trying to figure out how to Had a pass had a pass exactly, says David Frum. The only thing that separates the psychopath from the narcissus is their propensity to flex.
In this episode we explore what narcissism is and what is most-definitely is not. You will learn is that narcissists are not psychopaths, and vice-versa, but there is a form of narcissism which had been, up until now, confused with psychopathy, and vice-versa. According to the research of the two psychologists in this episode, narcissism may even need to be renamed, because it isn't excessive self-love, it's excessive self-loathing. Narcissists like Don Draper in Mad Men cope with their insecurity by donning a mask, and then spend most of their lives protecting that mask out of a fear of what will happen if people ever see what it hides.
