Nothingness: Antidote to Narcissism
23.6K subscribers
Grandiosity is a cognitive distortion. We all have cognitive biases. Some of us even have cognitive distortions. And yet we are still being considered to be normal and healthy. So what's the difference when it comes to the narcissist? The narcissist's grandiosity is cognitive distortion, narcissist is emotionally invested in distorting reality so it affirms, confirms and supports his inflated fantastic view of himself.
Our brain keeps generating internal voices. And these internal voices keep telling us this is what's going to happen, you should get prepared, you've done wrong, you've done right, this is the way to do it etc. These voices keep talking to us. They are introjects. If the voices, content of internal speech matches reality, the brain discounts the reality. The brain listens to internal voices and prefers them to reality.
While normal healthy people prefer internal speech to external reality if the two match. The narcissist prefers the internal speech to external reality if they do not match. The narcissist is a mirror image of a normal healthy human being. The narcissist's brain will ignore the reality because it is uncomfortable, challenging, countervailing, undermining, contradictory, dissonant. Then narcissist withdraws inside- selective auditory attention.
Selective auditory attention - external voices get stuck in a very narrow neck of imaginary bottle so they don't get through narcissist. Narc shuts you up, consequently unable to understand what you are saying. This leads to dissociation, amnesia, memory gaps. “You said something else” even if you produce recording what you said - your auditory input never reached his brain because he was engaged in selective hearing. Filtering your speech.
Selective hearing is a normal process. Everyone has selective hearing. For example talk to someone at cocktail party, focused on that person. Selective hearing becomes pathologized, malignant, and dysfunctional and maladaptive in sensory processing disorders. Narcissist has selective retention - remember accurately messages that reflected his interests, values, beliefs, grandiose image, working theories about other people's minds.
Narcissist's problem is that his frames are idiosyncratic. These frames are non-communicable because they are too individual. There's not enough sharing of meaning. Narcissist's internal speech is so unique to him that it's largely non-communicable. Narcissist face huge communication barriers and tries to compensate for that by pretending to be someone who he's not. So that people can interact with that. Not with him directly. Ever. False self.
