    Yes, psychology, specifically cluster b personality disorders - although it’s much more nuanced and complicated than what I’ve described, especially as conditions often transform and metastasize over time. For example, the borderline can take on a narcissistic persona when challenged and would be diagnosed as such in that self-state.

    It’s quite difficult to find reliable sources of information online, as narcissism and psychopathy are popular subjects these days - ironically attracting narcissists and psychopaths to the production of content relating to it (for views or money).

      Less curious about cluster b personality disorders, specifically, and more interested in the practical understanding that (in this case) sometimes, the reason behind someone not valuing another is really about them trying to protect themselves.

      The connection between contempt, grandiosity, and shame; it makes sense intuitively, but it is interesting to spell it out that way.

      What about other big emotions, how many others are really outputs of another?
