Damaged People: Narcissism & the Foundation of a Dysfunctional American Societ

Description: A Memoir and Sociopsychological Scholarly Analysis of a Fractured American SocietyDamaged people damage others. In the book, Avant refers to damaged people as those whose narcissistic impulses, instincts, desires, and behaviors cause extensive harm to those in their orbit and under their control and authority. While we all have probably experienced narcissists in our lives - whether it’s family, the workplace, friends or acquaintances, school, religious and social organizations, or all of the above - many who are victims of narcissism may not understand what they are experiencing. The book helps shed light on the psychology and effects of narcissism in our lives.Narcissism is one of the major, while somewhat hidden, issues of the day, particularly since it affects so many lives in one way or another.While it’s always been an issue, the prevalence of narcissism today is quite staggering as narcissists are parents, business leaders, politicians, neighbors, friends, and relatives. They have caused severe and lasting consequences in our families, institutions, and every aspect of our society. Narcissists project the damage they feel internally onto those around them. The personality disorder can be a driving factor for behavior such as greed, power and control hunger, and attention/approval seeking. Narcissism is usually deep rooted in insecurity, while narcissists may seem to outwardly exude confidence and be more outgoing. Unless they find the strength to reverse the trend, many who are victims of narcissists - those who have been emotionally manipulated, belittled, and victimized throughout their early lives - actually become a narcissist and abuser in adulthood, projecting the damage and pain they felt onto others throughout their lives.
