Narcissism is dead center of cluster b They are always selfish and always play the victim. They only show kindness for recognition and attention. They lack empathy. Its the defining hallmark of maga. The term DARVO exists because of them. Narcs in particular are almost universally against any form of mental health treatment. They fear exposure but more than that they fear their victims will discover what they are. The source of their problems. No narc will seek out mental health treatment.
A list of narcissistic traits
- A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (making themselves appear impressive)
- Need for admiration
- Fantasies about power, success, beauty or an idealized vision of love
- Sense of entitlement
- Belief of being special, unique or high-status
- Lack of empathy for others
- Tendency to exploit others
- Arrogant behavior
Does this remind you of a certain group in the US?
That 1 to 6 percent is wrong. What is said is 1 in 6 or 16% of the US population. That is also hard to prove due to narcs fear mental health treatment. The actual reported amount is .5% of the population. The statistics for that are interesting though.
- 2–6% of those seeking help from mental health clinics
- 6% of forensic analysts
- 20% of people in the military
- 17% of first-year medical students
Note that the groups in the list above are mostly in a place where a mental health evaluation is pretty much required. The most discovered being in the military where its certain you will get a mental health screening to get a security clearance. That number strongly supports the 1 in 6 statistic with the real number probably being 1 in 5.
Just imagine the world we could have if these people were identified and ignored when it comes to the common concerns we all share. Of course you can bet they would violently oppose this.
I pulled those stats from this site. It matches what I’ve read before. Unless you have been raised by a narc or somehow stayed in a relationship with them its hard to understand how bent they are.

Well now hang on a second there, buckaroo! There was that time when he worked for 6 days straight! And let’s not forget the time Jesus died - well, for a few days anyway, before he got bored and wandered off - so that God could forgive us for existing after he created us! And then don’t forget the… wait, I’m sure there must be something else… anyway, for all that stuff, you have to be eternally grateful and heap praise on him and grovel on your knees for all eternity. Enjoy your free will!
