Narcissism Research Table 6 Symptom No. Symptom Link Research Research Link 1,251 Narcissists are addicted to hate: To keep a coveted inflation, a narcissist will take any incoming suspicion or feeling of an unwanted nature and put it onto whoever he feels he can; women and children are usually the first targets of the narcissistic coward who is staving off his own feelings of reality. Thus he âbuysâ his delusion for a short time, but it never lasts for long, getting him literally addicted to hate. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,252 Envious narcissists may help through a violently inaccurate insistence of their unwanted traits on the person who evokes admiration that triggers narcissistic injury that by violently projecting their unwanted traits it will somehow bring them into possession of their wanted traits through magical thinking: By trying to violently insist on these violent ânobodyâ and âcriminalâ projections of his own behaviors and feelings of himself at the core level, he hopes that for a short time it will distract others and himself and he can continue to delude himself as a moral aristocrat. In fact, if the person seems more like a fit for the coveted identity, moral aristocrat, he may most violently project onto them ânobodyâ and âcriminalâ as if somehow magically if he feels the âmagical thresholdâ of transfer has been achieved, he is now in possession of those traits through magical thinking alone and that he now partakes in the threatening admirations he felt for this other person through the violent transfer. None of this follows logically, showing the narcissistâs magical thinking and broken preformal logic. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,253 Obsession with life as a play or all things being a stilted drama often is a feature described of the projective identifier. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,254 The pattern of narcissists show antisocial action repeated in the exact same way with no improvement and no real ability to learn, show personality disorders can in some contexts have a disability feature: Even where he may recognize later these were projections, again and again he makes the same mistake, projecting something new the next time, firing the son repeatedly, learning nothing, feeling like he realized once and for all only to just collapse into the exact same mistake again. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,255 Narcissists who use projective identification have an addiction to betrayal, where the betrayal is usually due to profound hidden envy: In such cases what feels like a choice, a smug decision to betray, becomes clearly in review an actual addiction to betrayal and abuse and interpersonal disability. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,256 Without strong leaders to put a strong boundary against ongoing projective identification, its violent levels of inaccuracy become normalized throughout the organization and cause collapse: Watching the mentally ill projective identification and seeing it normalized with no repercussion, or even facilitated by the weakest members, it becomes normalized and people take on a pathology that should have (and probably was, at the time) immediately stopped in its tracks and circulate it like a normal behavior. Before long the whole organization is broken. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,257 Narcissistic families engaged in tons of irresolvable projective identification tend to self-cripple themselves in ways that would only normally be ever expected in interfamily, not intrafamily, conflict: Rodolpho also showed signs of projective identification, taking what was wanted and discarding all that wasnât, calling two relatives âthe pizza brothersâ, betraying his own and breaking his own company. Similar behaviors are described in a mother calling her own son a âson of a bitchâ. It is the exact same mechanism; the broken projective identification on whoever is convenient that what is usually interfamily becomes intrafamily and self-crippling in a most embarrassing fashion. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,258 Narcissists with mafia ties actually weaponized the police to do their dirty work in trying to enforce their deeply inaccurate projective identifications based in broken and backwards preformal logic: They even went so pathetically far as to weaponize their police ties to break up their own familyâs brand. They crippled themselves, â[precluding] the possibility of effective work.â Generation after generation crippled their own children and then wondered why they werenât acting like those who hadnât precisely for refraining from such ill-advised behaviors. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,259 Normalized projective identification shows maladaption where adaption should be: Projective identification therefore seems to be tied to profound maladaptation; namely the normalization of dysfunctional dynamics. It seems that these were witnessed more often than not, without any real evaluation whether they were worth replicating in oneâs own life having achieved an attractive end, like a smooth-working low conflict business. This doubly brings home the sputtering and hacking engine metaphor of the failure to integrate causing ongoing collapses that result in unnecessary and self-disabling dysfunction. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,260 The projection identification of the narcissist may have an allergic reaction feature: Much of projective identification is considered a subconscious âallergic reactionâ type behavior that the person canât get in front of. It can come off as a real disability for that reason. The problem is it doesnât get better with anyone, there is nobody that theyâre not âallergicâ to in the projective identification way. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,261 People normalize the projective identification that breaks the whole organization by finding it entertaining and therefore incentivizing it. They then complain when it becomes an actual reality in their immediate environment: A lot of this behavior is incentivized. People normalize and encourage the dynamics. For example, I had some questions when I found out Obamaâs favorite show was the Sopranos as attested to by Michelle Obama. Much of these broken family dramas include profound suffering of many who donât want a part of the drama and literally donât have any part of it. It shouldnât be normalized or seen as something attractive as opposed to dysfunctional, in the same way watching someone limp around on a crutch is an interesting choice for TV. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,262 Organizational scholars have put out a call for more research in ongoing abusive projective identification in the workplace: Organizational scholars have called for a different response, saying we need to study the suffering here and understand the dynamics of harmful work relationships. Projective identification seems to be a big one.Choosing the truth over oneâs narcissistic injury is another critical piece of the puzzle. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,263 Many men reject their own victimization or the times they were forced to submit by a cowardly insistence on projecting this unwanted part of the self on women and children, who they feel are more suited to such disempowered positions due to a long ongoing history of misogyny: They may also view being a female as being âthe one who receives sexual assaultâ and a person from a country with a history of violent colonialism may therefore engage in the compulsive tie and the projective identification towards women, trying to pass on how they were victimized in âfeeling like the girlâ on the woman by being the one to "make her the girl" first before they are forced into actions that "make them feel like the girl". The clear dealing with that is established to be one is the victim until they start playing perpetrator. The disability is their inability to outthink this whole toxic nightmare, just trying to be the first to engage it. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158 1,264 Overidentification by people projectively identifying with people they really are not like in an attempt to power share is behind a lot of longevity of the worst leaders. https://www.reddit.com/r/zeronarcissists/comments/1i8l0u7/the_unwanted_self_projective_identification_in/ The unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity workThe unwanted self: Projective identification in leaders' identity work, Part 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840612448158
