A Stupid Book on Narcissism

Yesterday I read a post that quoted a very famous book on narcissism. The success of the book demonstrates that many people are trying to survive the trauma inflicted on them on the narcissists in their lives. However, the following quote demonstrates that the book in question is a load of stupid and vicious garbage:

Successful narcissists have a whole lot of sex, which means they’re statistically likelier to have a whole lot of babies—at least compared to everyone else. This highly adaptive component of narcissism gives it a big edge over other disorders in getting passed down to the next generation.

First of all, there is no connection whatsoever between narcissism and sex. The only connection exists in the Puritanical brain of the sexually unhealthy author of this book. Second, the number of sex acts correlates with the number of babies only among the most Orthodox religious fundamentalists. Everywhere else, there are crowds of people who’ve had and are having tons of sex yet who have one, two or no babies. Narcissism is not a genetic disorder. It is a personality disorder that is a result of early childhood traumas. Children of narcissists can also develop narcissism. However, they are just as likely (or more likely) to develop a different series of disorders: addiction, low self-esteem, broken mechanism of motivation, depression, anxiety, etc.
