You Don’t Want To Play Chicken With A Narcissistic Person…

…Because they always have to win.

[RANT]
Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. People with narcissistic personality disorder may be generally unhappy and disappointed when they're not given the special favors or admiration they believe they deserve. They may find their relationships unfulfilling, and others may not enjoy being around them.
I worry that this shutdown will never end.

For Trump he made this signature battle, he sees losing this issue as a part of his manhood. When you look at some of the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and look at them through the lens of the shutdown…

  • Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
  • Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration 
  • Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it

Put these in relationship to the shutdown and what do you get?

Now think what might happen if the Democrats back down?

Think how this will affect a narcissistic person?

I WON!
I can make “them” do anything!
I am superior to “them!”

If the Democrats back down I see Trump having shutdown after shutdown to get his way.
