So I encouraged him to go ahead and I didn't make a referral, but I encouraged him to go ahead and talk to a therapist and get a diagnostic assessment because he may be having some issues that he's not aware of. Now, this is a really nice guy. He's nice. You know, he talks very highly of his friends and his family members, but it's all about him. His level of empathy is so low.

And we stumbled upon this because he's been having some conflicts lately. He's noticed a pattern that he's an entrepreneur and he noticed a pattern that when he's trying to work collaboratively with individuals, the contracts never reached their fulfillment.

And what I was what I and I picked this up because I've been working with them now for about a year and I'm like, man, there's something going on here. I didn't think I didn't think of narcissism at first. So I started to ask him about what's happening in these relationships. And it gets to this point of contention where he's worried about how that person's work is going to make him look good.

And that's that fragile self-esteem piece that comes in. So, you know, it's one of those things that, you know, most people don't realize until it just kind of pops up. But again, these folks, they can be high motivators. These folks can, like I said, they can learn skills very well. They can succeed socially, especially in the paradigm that we live in today.

But their relationship, their personality skills are very self-centered. And that doesn't always work in our humanistic society that we live in today.

Absolutely. Well, well, from what we know, narcissism develops kind of three factors play a role. You have environmental factors. So, you know, the parent child dynamic, either there's too much, you know, attachment, too much adortion of a child or there's too little. There's a lot of criticism. There's a lot of. You know, corrective action that happens for a child.

So they're on one end or the other of these extremes of parenting. And then as a child's going through their developmental stages, they're starting to make up ideas through their worldview because of how the parents treat them. So the overabundance of love or not enough love, but just not right in the middle. So that's one element that has been associated with narcissism through research.

The other is genetics. So inherited characteristics such as just various different personality traits. So sometimes you can have some of these things passed on. Now, one would say that there's an interplay between the genetics and environment. So if your parent possesses these things, chances are they're going to parent with that personality type and you're going to pick up those things as well.

But there's also been some more science and research that has associated itself with the neurobiology, which is just connecting the brain to the behaviors and thinking. So a lot of cognitive behavioral therapy, which is one of the key tools that's utilized in therapy for folks who are narcissistic.

So narcissism has this kind of complex interplay between genetics, environment, and psychological factors.
