It is a theoretical fact that a narcissist is unable to understand their pathology. They do not seek the truth, they seek to believe what they want to believe irrespective of how irrational it is. A large following is not an argument for rationality, btw.

Kind of like trying to justifying that a theory is fact in order to fit what you want to believe?
Indeed, that is why assumptions have to be rationalized in order to constitute a theory.
Again, your conclusion is irrational. <3

Definition of rationalize for Students
rationalizedrationalizing
: to find an excuse for something that seems reasonable or believable <He tried to rationalize his foolish purchase.>
I'm sorry, I don't use urban dictionary or wherever that definition came from. What you've given is the definition of irrationality. As already stated above, rationalization is defined by logic (see Aristotle).
It actually came from merriam-webster.com. You seem to have a habit of trying to insult people's intelligence/source when they don't agree with you. This is not the first time you have made similar comments towards me. Being self-righteous does't mean you are correct.
No, I have a habit of pointing out error. It is your choice to feel insulted by that (again). For me to be self-righteous, I would have to be arguing that my way is the correct way. That did not happen. I did not define logic. Logic is already defined. <3
I work in internal recruitment focusing on financial services, but trying to get away from that if I can (but stay in recruitment since that is where my experience lies). I was made redundant from my company (which wasn't a surprise since they aren't doing too well at the moment and are actually not hiring very much in London at all) so I am looking for something new. I have been focusing my search on smaller firms since I think that working in large corporations is not really the right path for me. I am not sure if that type of work is really Scorpion, but I do communicate with people daily and I have to build relationships, headhunt (so that's the digging piece), etc.
It appears to me, judging from the dialogue that has developed by/around this question, that the moon is close to perfecting that square to mercury in the chart.
This thread has devolved from me asking a question about my relationship with my friend to being told that I should considering going to psychotherapy because I am a narcissist and the only reason I don't think I am a narcissist is because narcissists refuse to see the truth and prefer to live in a false sense of reality. It has just gotten out of hand once again, but judging by many of my interactions with Tessie, this is not surprising.
Thanks everyone who offered their horary expertise. I guess this thread is dead now.
Oh Angelik im so sorry this thread has upset you. I can see you're really sensitive about it. Yes there will be ppl out there who think they are right all the time but there is no point in trying to prove anything to them if they think they are right all the time. As an opinion, I think you would do best to stay focused on the posts that resonate with you the best and ignore ones that don't. It doesn't mean that you are not accepting flaws, I just think some of the comments are irrelevant.
Just a note... subjective questions draw the attention to you and attract these kinds of responses blaming you. Being objective will help. And im not saying im right and others are wrong. You can judge that.
