Why Narcissists Rewrite Reality: Identity Without Memory

Описание: Why do narcissists seem to rewrite history — and yet sound absolutely certain?

In this final excerpt from the 2-hour Q&A, Prof. ‪@samvaknin‬ explains what happens when memory, identity, and self-coherence collapse — and how narcissistic self-efficacy can become detached from reality.

🕒 Questions Covered
00:07 – If identity requires memory, how can someone with severe memory impairments develop ego and self-efficacy?
06:22 – What is the difference between Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and narcissistic personality organization?

Vaknin explores:

• Why memory and identity are inseparable
• How confabulation replaces autobiographical continuity
• Why narcissistic confidence is often counterfactual
• The difference between narcissistic style, organization, and disorder

Drawing on Phineas Gage, Otto Kernberg, and ICD-11 diagnostic frameworks, this excerpt dismantles popular myths about narcissism, ego stability, and the False Self.
