Where does Narcissism come from?
genetics
________________________
The etiology of Narcissism is debated. Some consider there is a possible genetic predisposition underlaying this disorder. However, many more researchers agree that a person who develops into a fullblown narcissist does not suffer from a genetic disorder, but was abused, maligned, and unloved or offered love inconsistently as an infant, baby or child. The "golden child" syndrome is frequently mentioned as a formative N experience (where the parent projects all their own perceived deficiencies onto the perfection and perfect characteristics - whether real or imaginied - of their child) as well as experiences in very early infancy, babyhood, and early childhood that were somehow harsh and damaging enough to create an unforgiving and cruelly judgemental superego within the narcissist. The typical characteristics of narcissism are actually a reaction formation against this voice of cruel, impossible judging that accompanies the emptiness of the narcissist's soul, as they knew very early on they were not 'enough' to stand up to the vicious voice of the superego.

What are some examples of details?
- "Details are never simply embellishments. They serve the narrative in terms of dramatization, characterization, structure, and style. . . .
"Over and over again we're told that good, active writing is concrete rather than abstract. It's specific rather than general. And it's in these notions of active writing that details make all the difference. A detail must be both significant and specific."
(Joanne Meschery, "Details! Details! Details!" Writers Workshop in a Book, ed. by Alan Cheuse and Lisa Alvarez. Chronicle Books, 2007)
- "Sometimes it takes only one or two details to light up a character for your readers. . . . The old man's carefully parted hair suggests that he has not totally given up. The tinny clatter of cheap crockery implies that the restaurateur has fallen on hard times. The sullen teenager's one-shouldered shrug connotes indifference tinged with contempt."
(Monica Wood, Description. Writer's Digest Books, 1995)
- "Bad writers never examine anything. Their inattentiveness to the detail of their prose is part and parcel of their inattentiveness to the detail of the outside world."
(Clive James, "Georg Christoph Lichtenberg: Lessons on How to Write." Cultural Amnesia, 2007)
