Do you think they are genetically inferior, or do you think it is culturally ingrained 'learned helplessness' from being treated as inferior by generations of limp wristed woke dogooders?

The terms "grandiose," "omnipotent," and "devaluing" are often associated with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Grandiosity refers to an inflated sense of self-importance and superiority, while omnipotence implies a belief in one's unlimited power and influence. Devaluing involves the tendency to see others as inferior or worthless, often as a way to maintain one's own inflated self-image.
Elaboration:
Grandiosity:
Individuals with NPD often have an exaggerated sense of their own achievements, talents, and importance. They may be preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, or ideal love. They may also believe they are special and unique, and can only be understood by other special or high-status people.
Omnipotence:
This belief in one's own unlimited power and influence can manifest in various ways, such as feeling entitled to special treatment or believing they can control others or situations.
Devaluation:
This defense mechanism involves belittling or minimizing the qualities and achievements of others. It can be a way for individuals with NPD to protect their own fragile sense of self-esteem by elevating themselves above others. This can be seen in their interactions, where they might be dismissive, condescending, or openly critical of others.
Connection to NPD:
These traits (grandiosity, omnipotence, and devaluation) are core features of NPD, a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. While these traits can be present in varying degrees and combinations, they often interact to create a pattern of interpersonal difficulties and emotional dysregulation.
It's important to note that these are just some of the characteristics associated with NPD, and individual experiences can vary. If you are concerned about yourself or someone you know, it's best to consult with a mental health professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
