3 d. ago ‘You are constantly told you are evil’: inside the lives of diagnosed narcissists

Few psychiatric conditions are as stigmatised or as misunderstood as narcissistic personality disorder. Here’s how it can damage careers and relationships – even before prejudice takes its tollThere are times when Jay Spring believes he is “the greatest person on planet Earth”. The 22-year-old from Los Angeles is a diagnosed narcissist, and in his most grandiose moments, “it can get really delusional”, he says. “You are on cloud nine and you’re like, ‘Everyone’s going to know that I’m better than them I’ll do great things for the world’.”For Spring, these periods of self-aggrandisement are generally followed by a “crash”, when he feels emotional and embarrassed by his behaviour, and is particularly vulnerable to criticism from others.

One alternative to Sober October is to sip away slowly at the classic hangover cure, the bloody mary, before the Christmas onslaught begins‘When we drink alcohol, we are borrowing happiness from tomorrow” has always felt a particularly comforting quote whenever I’m on the horns of an especially awful hangover. It is also one that, until a shamefully short time ago, I attributed to Albert Einstein, because it turns out it’s apparently enough for me just to see a quote in cursive text overlaying a black-and-white photo of a famous person for me to believe it was said by them. Deeply embarrassing. I’ve also seen it recounted by James Corden, so who knows at this point? Einstein, Corden’s mate Jez who’s to say?Anyway, now that summer is over, most of us are left feeling that most of the year’s drinking is safely out of the way. Autumn is the hangover of the calendar year. Spring is the pre-drinks, summer the big blow-out and winter is the enormous, restorative takeaway. And when I think...
