It started with t-shirts. Or was it bumper stickers? When we felt the need to tell everyone what we thought. Or what we thought was funny. Same thing, I guess.
I remember when they first started showing up. (Well, I think stickers have been around - remember the suitcases covered with travel destinations? That was before me.) When the first opinions were posted across chests and breasts. Hey look at me.

Did you know Narcissism is a disease?? Did you know it's in the American Psychological Association DSM-IV? You thought it was just an annoying boyfriend or selfish mom? No, it's a serious neurological disorder that can make life a living hell for everyone around them.
Ask anybody who has to deal with the personality disorder.
Some people are calling it an epidemic. The article succinctly describes why it's on the rise. Go read it. It's a serious neurological issue. But on a societal, every day feeding frenzy level, are you helping to stoke the fire? Are you a teacher who must give everyone a prize? Do you tell your kid everything they do is wonderful even when it stinks? Or...do you recognize yourself in the article? I do. I'm writing this blog. I take multiple pictures of myself so I can get a flattering sig pic.

before I read that article, I want to say that the bigger the world (and is issues) gets the smaller each individual gets and the louder one must shout to be heard.
It's a terrible cycle.
Off to read..
Fascinating article. Thanks for sharing.
