Malignant Self Love

Filed under: Odds and Ends — shelray @ 6:08 am

“I am grandiose because I feel unlovable and hateful, and I fear I cannot be loved unless I am perfect and omnipotent.” - unknown

How many narcissists does it take to change a light bulb?

(a) Just one — but he has to wait for the whole world to revolve around him.

(b) None at all — he hires menials for work that’s beneath him.

Narcissism is a personality disorder, and for the joyless men and women who cannot and/or will not love anyone, will live out all the days of their lives desperately seeking out admiration and attention to numb the painful feelings of emptiness inside. Those with NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder develop an extreme form of paradoxical self-love to compensate for the reality of an internalized anger and hatred they have for themselves. Slaves of their own grandiosity, they have an illogical sense of self-importance, uniqueness or beauty and are easily humiliated when their superiority is not acknowledge or respected as they care only for themselves and things that affect them personally. Once crossed, these creatures who have no empathy, project the cruel and ruthless internal hatred they have for themselves unto others.

While browsing the Roman Catholic Blog , I found a link (link found on very bottom of RCB’s post but fair warning - McKenzie’s art work is offensive, disgusting and immoral) to a disturbing art exhibit called Spent that is simply - off the charts. Apparently this 40 year old “artist” named Jordan McKenzie is the apple of his own eye because all of his work is done by, on and for Jordan McKenzie . His so-called diary of ejaculations which would be normally seen as a sickening display of perverted pathology, is the the artist’s heartfelt and delicate extension of himself. I don’t think it’s beyond of the realm of possibilities that many more of us struggle with varying degrees of self-love but ONLY through grace comes the opportunities correct our own little works of art.

I’m not a psychiatric professional nor do I stay at Holiday Inn Express - I am not diagnosing Mr. McKenzie with NPD, but expressing my opinion of his lewd act as being a act of self love.

    I believe I would consider that a good thing, and should consider yourself among the normal.
