Hahaha love this Narcissism example - Jay Mohr vs. Chrissy Teigen

So I saw caught this twitter feud recently… One actor felt insulted and so he called an SI swimsuit model a “six” - as in a six out of ten in terms of looks. Say what you will about SI Swimsuit models but I doubt anyone would argue that they are a 6. I view this as a classic example of a narcissism. For my earlier posts on narcissism, and why this constitutes narcissism click here. Here is the twitter exchange.  Oh and as background, Jay Mohr named his son Meredith….

chrissyteigen: RT @jaymohr37: Meredith»> tucker, tyler, todd, max, dakota, montanna, zander, wyatt, holden and mostly ANA. Only fat girls spell “Ana” with one N. 

chrissyteigen: something smart to say would have been “don’t judge my personal choice for my son’s name.” not “WELL onLy FaT gIrlS speLL anA witH 1 N” 

chrissyteigen: RT @jaymohr37: @chrissyteigen Why are you even NEAR me? Take your skank ass somewhere where guys like six’s in bikinis. Matt Leinert wouldn’t sleep with u 

chrissyteigen: lol.

chrissteigen: It’s official. @jaymohr37 is a defensive, attention seeking prick. Learn something every day.

chrissyteigen: much like his career, i have no comeback. you win, jay mohr. you win.

chrissyteigen: this might be the Z-listiest feud ever.

These follow up tweets from her are also amusing

No. I don’t know what Alicia Silverstone named her kid but NO COMMENT

Bear Blu. Well I think that’s a great name for a boy OR a girl. #positivity

This weather puts me in a great mood. Maybe I should come back in October. You guys didn’t seem to enjoy the positivity last night haha

I like how this divides the two main types of narcissists

I actually view an inverted narcissist as more of a codependent. Anyway…

The classic narcissist is overly self-confident and sees themselves as superior than other people. Think of a child who has always been told by mom and dad that they would be great, and then that child takes and internally distorts that message into superiority.

The compensatory narcissist covers up with their grandiose behavior, a deep-seated deficit in self-esteem. Think of a child who felt devalued but instead of giving up on life, resorts to fantasies of grandeur and greatness. This person will either live in that fantasy world or decide to create that fantasy world in real life.

So yeah, one thinks they are the shit, and the other lives in a fantasy world. So the first is deluded about themselves. The second is deluded about the world around them. It’s an interesting and important distinction.
