Fundamental NarcissismEveryone knows that he has some measure of selfishness, self-reference,
a need to be seen and appreciated, a deep wish for esteem and
admiration from others, and some distortion in his self-concepts.
Although we are accustomed to thinking of these traits as normal,
they are in fact narcissistic phenomena. They are universal to
all non-realized individuals, reflecting the fundamental narcissism
that is the result of not knowing oneself at a deep level. This
is what we call the “narcissism of every day life”
or “fundamental narcissism.” (The Point of Existence,
pg 26) |
