He does the same thing every couple of months; picks up on one of the most minor points here, takes it all out of context to misrepresent what is said here and ignores the other 99 valid issues.
So all those other times he said he wasn't bothered and found it funny he was actually bothered, but this time he isn't bothered and finds it funny
I'd hate people talking about my private life, that's why I don't offer it up for entertainment on social media. I'd rather pay for my own dental work, birthday cakes, clothes and hotels. Stop being a social media influencers aka a celeb and getting things like the £4'000 dentures + extras for free/hugely discounted if it's affecting him.
Zero sympathy for him, it's all of his own making and he could have stopped the threads months ago by not doing all the rule breaking and dangerous behaviour that risks other people. But he's too much of a little man to accept his own mistakes.
The projectionism
If talking about a celeb breaking rules designed to protect vulnerable people during a pandemic is a troll then it's a badge I'll wear with honour.
He's that 1% of society that has pathological narcissism so can't function in society or have a job isn't he? This article almost perfectly represents him with his special mentality and perceived higher status:
Rejecting Masks And COVID-19 Guidelines Is Narcissistic
We’ve all seen it. Despite a mask requirement in most places, many people don’t bother wearing them. They ditch them after the store employees lets them in. They expose their nose. They let the mask dangle under their chin. These maskless people also often refuse to respect social distancing guidelines, which makes them even more frightening. They may think they’re saying they don’t need a mask. But instead, their behavior signals a different type of thought:
I am special. I do not have to follow the rules. They’re acting like common narcissists.
The Washington Post says this connection between masklessness and narcissism may not be a coincidence. In fact, several studies have shown that “narcissistic behavior” may be part of the reason people don’t comply with COVID-19 safety guidelines.
So What’s The Deal With Narcissists?
Along with psychopathy and a trait called Machiavellianism, narcissism makes up what psychiatrists and psychologists call the “Dark Triad”: “personality patterns often linked to a ‘lack of niceness,'” W. Keith Campbell, a psychology professor at the University of Georgia, tells The Washington Post. According to
Psychology Today, narcissists share “an expectation of special treatment reflecting perceived higher status.” In other words, they think they’re above the rules. They also show a marked lack of empathy.
Basically, Campbell says, narcissists are going to do what they want — and if what they want means not following public health guidelines, well, screw public health guidelines.
Psych Central says that according to the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, used by psychiatrists and psychologists to diagnose mental disorders, narcissists are “unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.” They’re only interested in getting their own needs (or wants) met, even if it means cheating or breaking the law… or not wearing a mask.
But there’s a difference between narcissistic behavior and pathological narcissism, says
Psychology Today. People with pathological narcissism, or about 1% of the population, exhibit behavior that inhibits their ability to function in society. Common narcissists, while still dangerous, can still function: they can hold a job, for example. And remember, not everyone without a mask is a narcissist; they may have physical or mental disabilities that prevent them from wearing one, for example.
However, as
The Washington Post says, studies have shown a correlation between a refusal to wear masks and narcissism.
Narcissists Don’t Empathize With Others…
So they don’t see the need to wear a mask to stop the spread of COVID-19. While most of us agree that we need to wear a mask to protect the most vulnerable people among us, and to stop the spread of the pandemic, these community-minded calls to action require empathy, which doesn’t work for narcissists. Their desire to get what
they want (breathing without fogging their glasses, perhaps, or an escape from the discomfort of an ill-fitting mask) outweighs any public health guideline. No CDC recommendations, federal mask laws, or appeals to their sense of community will have any effect on their behavior. They’re above the law, so they think, and care less about others than normal people.
But it’s hard to find a better example of narcissism at work than the anti-mask rhetoric. In fact, Ramani Durvasula, a licensed clinical psychologist and professor at California State University at Los Angeles, tells
The Washington Post that these diatribes are “one of the most stunning examples of lack of empathy you could see.”
