"Beneath every narcissist is a scared kid"

"You don't have to be a psychologist to understand what's really going on with Trump. His entire career, like his campaign, has been about declaring his awesomeness and forcing others to acknowledge it. He has surrounded himself with trophy wives, sycophants, and his own name, everywhere he looks. He built a whole TV show premised on the idea that he's a savvy, decisive business executive, harvesting obeisance from the rotating cast of supplicants. It is overcompensation on a world-historical scale.

"At the root of this kind of narcissism is always the same thing: a vast, yawning chasm of need, a hunger for approval and validation that is never sated. Down there in the lizard brain, it's fear: fear of being left out, laughed at, or looked down on, fear of never belonging, never being accepted, no matter how many towers you build."

An excellent article, that pretty much nails it when it comes to Trump.

It's the hairdo - kills the image and the ego every time... no self-assured man would go for the comb-over or the artificial enhancement... I tend to regard such things in the same way as I regard tattoos and pit bull ownership ...

We don't need any stories about horses, or lame self-help books.
