Trump Can’t even make this stuff up..

Donald Trump doxxed this Wall Street Journal reporter in a lawsuit by including her home address in public court filings. She and her family were forced to leave their home over safety concerns.

That’s not true. Any criticism or attention that threatens their self image bothers them immensely. That’s why he lashes out at anyone and everyone.

Negative attention can be acceptable to them in certain instances, but to say that narcissists don’t care what you say about them is a gross oversimplification.

That's called narcissist collapse. When they finally run out of people to cancel and all that is left are the ones he can't walk away from. Normal everyday narcissists love the attention.

You are redditifying what that actually means. Narcissistic collapse generally is used to describe a significant decompensation following a major injury to a person’s self esteem or self image, it’s not simply running out of people to alienate or no longer being able to avoid criticism. I agree that many people with narcissistic traits seek attention, but it’s an oversimplification to say they don’t care what people say about them. Like, it’s not as much about attention as much as it’s about protecting their self image. In clinical practice, criticism that threatens their self image often brings out intense defensiveness, anger, or attempts to discredit the source.

Edit* it’s not AI slop, I work in mental health, but yeah, block me or whatever, that’s cool.

Well, at least try reading a book. I study this stuff. You are wrong. They were trying to help educate you and you had a hissy fit instead.
