Ever wondered if those annoying self-promoters on social media are actual narcissists, or just savvy marketers? In our latest episode of Cottman, Crawford, and the Jersey Guy, we kick things off with a light-hearted chat about birthdays and the joys (and occasional headaches) of raising kids. But don’t be fooled by the banter—things get deep and fascinating fast. We dive into the world of narcissism, breaking down Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and how it differs from just being a bit full of yourself. Drawing from the myth of Narcissus, we explore the origins of narcissistic tendencies, whether they come from upbringing, trauma, or a mix of life experiences.
Next up, we dissect the various types of narcissism, focusing particularly on overt and covert narcissists. Learn how overt narcissists flaunt their supposed superiority and how covert narcissists hide behind a façade of humility while harboring deep-seated insecurities. We also tackle the hot topic of social media’s role in promoting narcissistic behavior—does self-promotion for likes and followers make you a narcissist, or is it just part of the game? Plus, we'll get into malignant narcissism and grandiose narcissism, providing clarity on these complex terms and what they mean in everyday life.
To round things out, we share some heartwarming stories about celebrities who genuinely appreciate their fans, like Curtis Granderson and even a surprising moment with former President Reagan. We also examine how generational advice plays a role in shaping our behaviors and relationships. Personal growth, small gestures of gratitude, and the art of letting younger folks make their own mistakes are all on the table. As always, we wrap up with our heartfelt thanks to our fantastic listeners for their continued support. Join us for a rich blend of humor, introspection, and insights into human behavior that you won't want to miss!
