Narcissism and Psychology

Whenever I deal with someone who thinks that I'm full of myself, or that I'm a narcissist, or anything along the same lines, I know that I'm dealing with an idiot. I care about all sorts of people besides myself, including all sorts of people whom those who make such accusations don't give a damn about. I have been accused of being a narcissist or a sociopath by any number of lay people, but never by a real psychiatrist. Indeed, real psychiatrists told me such things as that I have the heart of a humanitarian – meaning, not only not being a sociopath, but being more well-intentioned than the next person.

The same people who prosecute people's feelings then claim the narcissists and sociopaths to not have any feelings themselves. This means that they are being absolute hypocrites. When a feeling suits them, they go with it; when it doesn't suit them they attack it. This is the kind of behavior that is credited to sociopaths and narcissists. The reality shows them to be much more entrenched in people who believe others to be these things.

Psychology is a science in its youth, which means that it is going to make mistakes. And the worst mistakes will be committed not by professional psychiatrists but rather by lay people who think that they know psychology better than psychologists. These people are arrogant enough to think that the little knowledge of the subject that they have qualifies them to damn people for life.

Are there such people as sociopaths or narcissists? Even if there are, they remain human. And that means, that they have the capacity to choose to act rightfully whatever their psychological makeup or brain structure. The “once a sociopath always a sociopath” myth is as wrong as “once a kike, always a kike” or “once a ho, always a ho.” And for as long as these people deny the right to choice and principle on the part of these people, the more they create enemies.

Enemies such as young Western men joining ISIS.

For as long as psychology decides that some people are evil and can only be evil whatever they do, it will see people reject psychology in large numbers and go to creeds such as Islam. At least with Islam they are human beings rather than monsters. The stupidity of claiming that some people are evil and can only be evil regardless of how hard they work, what work they do on themselves or what they accomplish, will always result in people leaving in large numbers the covenants that believe in such things and becoming their enemies.

Psychology needs to get a grip on itself and stop spouting obvious irrationality. If a man is responsible for who he is, then he can choose to act rightfully whatever his psychological makeup; and if some people cannot act rightfully then people are not responsible for who they are. I have no idea why this argument hasn't been made on a large scale before, but I am willing to do so now. I hope that people of goodwill see the rightfulness of my argument and correct this error that has plagued psychology in recent years.
