Narcissists VS the Public Option...,
Edited on Tue Aug-18-09 01:33 PM by undergroundpanther
Those on the right just love to brag about how self sufficient they are.Never realizing all the efforts and contributions countless OTHERS have made to make this fantasy the narcissist stands on his own two feet appear as reality to the narcissist....Right wing narcissist types believe they DO earn their keep,even if it is not doing anything useful at all,pushing paper around or only working two hours a day or less, or they inherited it all.They don't care because it is all about those appearances that create an expectation of entitlement in how OTHERS see and treat the narcissist.. .

The Narcissist thinks they are ENTITLED to the all the executive perks,benefits ,golden parachutes because of who they know,and who they are. All that posturing it is not a sign of greatness really but the sign of a fantasy perpetuated by belonging to corrupted clique of narcissists all about creating an appearance of greatness.

Being special and treated as such is the most important thing in the world to a narcissist. It is not how much good they could be doing by contributing to making life itself better on this miserable planet for all,because a narcissist isn't concerned with anyone else's well being-ever..

Narcissists are very jealous of anyone else around them with whatever it is THEY think they do not have, or what they might lose if it means it will become commonplace to have it.The idea of equality 'threatens' them. If THEY believe others have something they want but do not really have THEY still hate those others for having it.Because a narcissist has fantasies to feed.
The Narcissist thinks they always DESERVE the BEST,even if giving these narcissists the best, means most go without. The Narcissist does not care about you,me,anyone else.

A public option for health care infuriates those narcissistic executives and politicians and rich people that believe THEY are more deserving of the best that is out there than you or anyone else in this world is. Those who want universal health care must realize what they are up against.This is not LOGICAL and it's root does not make sense to a NON- narcissist. We are dealing with maybe 20% of the population at best who are narcissists,These people think that their perks are being given to you or anyone else without their consent.These are the actions of THREATENED NARCISSISTS,we are dealing with.

All these right winger narcissists have had countless fantasies of being pampered and valued above all others like you or everyone else in their heads for years.Narcissists are consumed by fantasies.Fantasies like acting as THE arbiter of everyone else's well being and who get what and how much they deserve.They have been grandiose in their own minds since they were kids,and they will manipulate behave in a ruthless way without a conscience to make some of those egotistical fantasies more "real".Even if others suffer and die.

The COST to everyone else to harbor a narcissists fantasy of entitlement is becoming too much to bear..Narcissists whether they have health care or not in real life will be outraged and think someone is trying to 'steal' from them,then they get to play victim if they get believed(death panels the ultimate victim role ,do ya think?).

The Narcissists fighting against public health care fear they will lose whatever special status they think they get and are terrified of becoming just another patient getting health care,without that oh so nice distinction of VIP on their case file.

And it outrages them with resentment and fear they might lose all the gratification and pampering that special VIP status gives these narcissistic pigs when they go to the doctor.
(In a best case scenario) A doctor is one person who will listen to the patient's pain,woes and takes an interest in helping,tries to ease the pain or fix the problems.A nurse is almost like a stand in caretaker catering to the patients needs as they arise. A nurse is almost like an echo of the always giving ,responding to the patient and responding to ease discomforts.

The narcissists among us do not want EVERYBODY having a good doctor that will take the time to make sure they are comfortable, or nurses to take care of them. Taking care of you or anyone else takes away the time the doctor and nurses should be making the narcissist comfortable!!

The Specter of SHARING health care so TERRIFIES them!! The narcissist cries for underneath the "who's gonna pay" ruse is really a cry of..What about MEEE!! My needs?? My status,and MEEE TOooo!!! WAh Wah wahhhh.

Narcissists are offended that a public option will erase their special deservedness, in the way they get treated while getting health care and the public option might destroy some of their cherished fantasies of having the best health care,so good others would ENVY them..And if there is nothing for others to envy,how can a narcissist be seen as more special and deserving than everyone else?
THEY believe deserve to GRAB all they can get,Because they believe they are entitled to do this,it is part of WHO they are the jealous greed..Narcissists are self absorbed manipulators and bullies oblivious other people or others well being because to a narcissist their suffering is far more worse than everyone else's suffering in the world .So they think they DESERVE to limit what others get in terms of care...The sense of entitlement most often is all about narcissism.THEY resent anyone else telling THEM what to do with what THEY think they deserve to have.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The word narcissism comes from the character made famous by the Greek poet Ovid, Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection. In the story, Echo falls in love with Narcissus and gets rejected. The story makes clear that Narcissus is only able to love himself and not others. Conversely, Echo completely loses herself in her love for Narcissus and has no sense of self at all. At the end of the story, Narcissus tells Echo, "I would die before I give you power over me." Echo responds, "I give you power over me." Both Narcissus and Echo die because their love is unattainable. Many of us cannot find a balance between ourselves and others."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
** In other words, We do not have to become ECHOES just to stand up for the public option for health care.The Democrats in their unwillingness to confront narcissism, and in their rush to compromise with narcissists ,risk becoming Echos for the narcissists plans. As the narcissists continue to take up more air time and disrupt and control talk time at town hall meetings,because they believe they are entitled to do so**
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Contemporary practitioners, both clinical and organizational, are faced with the pervasive presence of narcissistic disorders in those who consult us.It is a disquieting encounter, because-even as we recognize that our work to understand and assist persons and organizations with narcissistic pathology has increased the reach and efficacy of our interventions, and the lessons of this work in turn have transformatively affected psychoanalytic theories-there are particular qualities to work with narcissism that are painful to work with analytically, perhaps in significant part because they militate against a defensive introduction of non-analytic methods into analytic work. It is in the nature of narcissistically organized persons, and perhaps also, I will argue, narcissistic organizations, to deny the reality of the other (i.e., the analyst), to wrench the analyst into playing a hated but necessary part in the patient's internal drama, to try to disable or destroy the analyst in the service of a soothing return to a narcissistic self-sufficiency, and to project into the analyst, with resentful hatred, a whole internal world of persecutory and toxic part-objects, as the first step toward eventual understanding, health, and wholeness."
