Every Day Narcissism

from The Work of Being Human · host Vanessa Bentley

We're living in a society where we are enticed, tempted, and invited to sink into a subtle narcissism and take on a victim mindset, every single day. This is what the new mental health system is peddling: the notion that your situation is out of your control, your LIFE is out of your control, and the only way forward is to see yourself as a victim, passively accept help, or narcissistically see your pain as some kind of exceptional anomaly. The reality is: most of us are just living life on life's terms. And it's hard. This week we dive into the latest idea to hit the cultural landscape that turns personal accountability on its head (again). We're all supposed to act and think like victims, and this is supposed to win us mental health. It will not. This week, we talk about the subtle attack on our adulthood and how to not fall for the tricks.
