This Narcissism Thing - Akira the Don, Scott Adams

Two epidemics that are interacting which each other

One is the loneliness, and the other is narcissism

I believe narcissicm has gone from something that people had and you could stay

away from them

To something closer to an epidemic

And I think social media has done that

What I’ve learned about this narcissicm thing

I used to think it was people who thought they were great, thought they were

great, thought they wer great

I used to think it was peopl who thought they were great, this narcissism thing

It’s not about people thinking they’re great, thinking they’re great

It’s about people who have broken self esteem

Just completely broken

And the way they deal their broken self-esteem, is by belittling other people

Or one upping them, bragging, putting them down, shutting them down,

thwarting them in any way you can

Now I used to look as those people cause there everywhere

But man are there more of them?

There are right, and I think it’s because people who might have been sort of on

the border in that way just got pushed over the edge by social media

I used to think it was people who thought they were great, thought they were

great, thought they were great

I used to think it was people who thought they were great, this narcissism thing

It’s not about people thinking they’re great, thinking they’re great

It’s about people who have broken self esteem

Just completely broken

Imagine living in a world where everybody is criticising everybody for

everything

That’s our world, we live in a world where everybody is criticising everybody

for everything

Imagine that

How would you like to be a teenager and be criticised on everything

That shirt you wore that one day, that embarrassing thing you did just once,

but somebody saw it

But you’re not as pretty or as handsome or as strong or as good at sports as

this other person

It’s gotta be devastating, devastating

And there’s just more of it, because it’s in your face and you are seeing the

impossible images of people you want to be like, but you’re not etcetera

I used to think it was people who thought they were great, thought they were

great, thought they were great

I used to think it was people who thought they were great, this narcissism thing

It’s not about people thinking they’re great, thinking they’re great

It’s about people who have broken self esteem

Just completely broken

I used to think it was people who thought they were great, thought they were

great, thought they were great

I used to think it was people who thought they were great, this narcissism thing

It’s not about people thinking they’re great, thinking they’re great

It’s about people who have broken self esteem

Just completely broken
