Somewhere here was mentioned the narcissism.
It is a general assumption that we are becoming more and more narcisistic.
But the problem is not so much really being narcissists but being under pressure to act like narcissists. In the world of increasing competition people have to prove themselves, they have to prove that they are something special, ambitious, that they will make in life something extraordinary. People have to sell themselves as future stars being at the same time constantly confronted
with the danger of failure, jobless position, ending at the bottom of the social ladder.
Acting as a narcissist is a pressure and a mode of survival. It keeps feeding the image of successful and shiny society.
