Study finds narcissists like to be in charge

Go to Latvia, Estonia, Mallorca, Agia Napa... whatever... Or just Oop Narf... Where have you been living?

Is that really the case? Because of all the international business things I've been on, not to mention holidays in Spain, it's the Germans who are the pushiest...just goes to show how personal prejudice gets in the way of actual evidence...

Does that include your own 'personal prejudice'? I hope you answer in the affirmative, because you've just displayed your own. In very generalisable terms.

Loadsa Germans in ex-YU, absolutely loads. Never as bad as the English/Brits!!! Wherever they and the Amuuuricans [even worse!!!] come - watchout!!!!

You're absolutely correct mate. The US and the UK are the worst of the lot. They take hypocrisy to the nth degree. And of course they manufacture the most weapons to sell to dodgy governments around the world, and they fight the most wars of all nations in the world.

You described them in accurate terms.

Where i live is a real international melting pot, and it's nearly always the yanks and the brits who assert their way as THE way. Arrogance courses through their veins. They are also the worst people for bothering to learn a second language.

Indeed, we see that the world over! Sadly. But very true... And the excuse? "If we don't - the French will." Guess what the French are saying... Complete bollox!

Btw, almost everything here is upside-down: public schools are actually exclusive, private schools, for instance. And so on...

Time to leave this sorry land in which they boast how theirs is the 4th economy of the world that can not afford the same level NHS, education system, pensions similar to their partners in EU, public transport that is shitty by comparison to those comparable countries and seriously expensive, where the average man pays above average taxes, when the seriously rich have all the loopholes they need and so on and on and on...

Sad, sad, sad, becoming more and more America light - by the day - and the tragedy of it is that it's needlessly so!!!!!

I hate every human being on earth. I feel that everyone is beneath me, and I feel they should all worship me." -Roseanne Barr in an interview at Gear magazine, October 2000

With that comment, you've shown that you don't have any idea at all what a narcissistic personality is. A narcissist isn't likely to indulge you at all and if they did they it would be because they want something from you. They certainly wouldn't argue with you on your favourite topics.

 

[gorski]

Argue? Cricccckkkkkey! You have no idea what they are doing, then...

If they were narcissists they wouldn't engage with you at all. They wouldn't even bully you, not in this context. You most likely wouldn't be any interest to them at all. That is unless they were deluded enough to think you were a source of great wisdom that they could use to bolster their intellectual credentials, in which case they would flatter you.

 

[gorski]

No, you deffo don't understand what they are doing...

 

[Aldebaran]

Very simple, you need a dose of narcism to be "a leader" at any possible level or you would never be capable to survive the race (mentally or even phsysically in many cases) until you are the factual leader. You even see that in a Kindergarten playground.
(Even people who are known to be "good" because of "all they do for others" etc.. are narcists to the core. I never met someone who "did good" if he himself didn't feel better because of it.)

salaam.

Quite the opposite is the case: successful leaders have to be able to put themselves into the shoes of those they lead... They be interested in them to be able to understand their needs, wants, hopes........ in order to able to conjure up the mythology that speaks to all or most of those they aspire to lead... and all else that is necessary to lead a tribe...

Haha. The naïvity shines trough the internet(s) and blinds me when looking at my screen displaying these words.

Leaders don't need to empathize. They let others do that for them or better said: to pretend they do (ever heard of the verb "delegating").

salaam.

 

[gorski]

They have been borne leaders? Never had to understand their flock? Ahem... naivety, eh?

There is nothing quite like the presence of other humans, to kill human intelligence. Narcisissists know this.
