Narcissist. The word is so overused as to apply to everyone and no one. What’s going on? Well, narcissism is an important issue to me personally, as I have a great deal of personal experience dealing with these folks. I’ll get into that a bit on this episode. And narcissism is truly a big deal when you consider that potentially 1 out of every 10 people has full blown Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and far more than that have strong narcissistic tendencies. These folks cause DAMAGE! And one of the things that angers me most about these individuals is that our society runs on trust. Without trust, our society will break down. While most people are honest and trustworthy, narcissists use our trust and exploit it for their own personal gain. In so doing, they threaten the very fabric of our society. And narcissists aren’t interested in being anchored in truth, they are more interested in what they can tell you in order to manipulate you, facts be damned.

Public apology! Please note I let my anger get the best of me and made a slip of the tongue – calling highly narcissistic people “rat f*ckers” in this episode. I understand how deeply inappropriate this is and I offer my heartfelt apologies. In no way did I intend to offend those who f*ck rats by comparing them to narcissists. Rat f*ckers only harm rats (which is why they use a lot of duct tape – to hold those suckers together!). Narcissists harm humans. My humble apologies to rat f*ckers.
