Last statement which you said "narcissist can be intelligent but never wise " absolute truth 😊 being wise requires true deep introspection big lack in NPD's
When Sam extends sympathy to Elon you know it’s REAL. Doubly he must be very disordered to get his attention lol. I had long suspected as an American that he has been playin a “mad scientist” type but really most likely very mistreated as a youth.
He talks. He produces nothing. Yet he claims to have knowledge over the world. Leftists are an infection inflicted upon the world. They pretend to have an argument. They pretend to have "wisdom", yet they produce nothing. Elon Musk is making the world a better place. Thank God for Elon Musk.
Elon Musk is lying about his achievements in gaming and just got caught very recently. Despite being one of the richest people in the world (if not the richest) he still has this gargantuan level of insecurity to prove himself in the gaming sphere, to the point that he pays other people to play from his account. If he is capable of cheating on such petty things, imagine what he would do in real-world matters.
Yeah, Its been my experience with individuals of the same caliber that if you see them cheat on the smallest level, be very aware of engaging with them on any level.
@@SamSamson-go9dqYou should definitely avoid Elon Musk. Hopefully, you will lose your government job soon, so you will no longer cause inflation with your non-productive salary.
Yes this.. Imagine being (he is currently the richest man in the world by far) and having all the accomplishments, supply/following and near limitless opportunities of this man and then still going to the extent to lie about being a professional gamer even though anyone familiar with this game will be able to tell you are not.. This recent behaviour is a perfect example of what Professor Vaknin described.. a complete inability to read the room or understand how he could be externally perceived..
Musk was bullied at school, and also by his grandfather, he literally let kids fight/compete for food. I was thinking for long time that musk is asperger, same as myself, but i cannot imagine myself screeming at my employees, let them sleep on ground etc., fire them online etc....
@@samvaknin I think he fakes "aspergers" attributes like honesty and being very prone to justice just to get narcissistic supply. Also check his former gf Amber Heard, thats another case from Drama cluster personality disorders. There is even video of 2 of them from their house.
@@samvaknin Could it be AuDHD? A person with ADHD/ADD also seeks stimulation. Professor, what do you think, that untreated ADHD turns into a NPD or BPD?

I agree with you on this one, Sam. I think Musk is more personality disordered rather than someone with autism. But that's just my opinion. Im autistic myself (level 2) I had to go through various assessments with multiple clinical psychiatrists and psychologists to get properly diagnosed. Trouble is autism can very similiar to other mental health/neurological-developmental disorders out there. So, I think it is important people do not self diagnosis themselves. Xx ❤️
@@samvaknin I thought you were a psychiatrist yourself. I'm so sorry I off-loaded my "issues" on you. I must've scared you trying to explain my BPD. I feel terrible. Your natural thirst for knowledge pulls people in. Your passion.
@@samvaknin There is a newly aired interview with Walter Isaacson regarding his writing process. It sheds some interesting light: - Isaacson himself could clearly distinguish Asperger’s syndrome and the ASD, and how the classification (mostly DSM) evolved. Still, he didn’t drop the name of Asperger’s, but used the two words accurately based on the context. Although he didn’t fully explain the reasons, for me, as I also just reread the book, it creates more space to read between the lines. Some narratives gained another layer of meaning. - Isaacson didn’t directly comment on Musk’s decision making process, but told some stories which are in line with your perspective: the wasteful, chaotic, uncontrollable, and aimless behaviors. He quoted the “evil mode” many times, although as a writer he has been quite against such simplifications -but, it’s the word used by Musk’s inner circle. - some interesting and rare comments directly from the writer: - “he may want to populate the Mars. But he doesn’t want to be the first to sit in the rocket”
@@tenminutesafterdrawing Isaacson is not qualified to diagnose ASD or any other mental health issue. Nor is Musk. I would be very surprised if Musk is an autist and believe, based on multiple sources, that he is a sadistic narcissist.
What a thought-provoking lecture. It's almost like a piece of art in that the important message is not merely in the words but in the space between them. That's where the thought-provoking part lies--the spark that triggers the listener to think deeper. In my humble opinion, this might be one of the best lectures you've ever held (of course, personally speaking). It's brilliant.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, personal experiences and understandings honestly so people can learn to understand each other and themselves better and by that we personally and as a human society may are able to acknowledge and understand our real problems and may heal step by step and truly mature and evolve in our humanity. It's brave to do the first step to open up in a potentially hostile environment to learn to build trust instead of hiding our fears behind whatever kind of armor. My respect for doing so and overcoming your fears and facing your pain and by that being a role model for handeling the consequences of abuse in a healthy constructive way for oneself, everyone else and the next generation. Thank you for contributing to make this world a healthier and happier place❣️
One of documentaries on Hitler said at the end while showing the bombarded German cities: Hitler promised the Germans that if they let him rule, he would change Germany beyond recognition, and he kept his word. Is this a true paradox or what??
Guy spent his last days in that bunker drawing up drafts to rebuild all those bombed-out cities while everyone knew the war was lost. Talk about retreating to delululand in the face of narcissistic collapse.
Wisely and eloquently stated! I love this Truth- The opposite of stupidity is Wisdom. I wish this video could be delivered to everyone's inbox. Unfortunately a large part of the U.S. population is already under Brain Entrainment! After watching this video I thought of the other definition of entrain. To be put aboard a train. I imagined large amounts of people being boarded on a train being told they are going somewhere temporarily only to be taken to their final destination. Without wisdom we recycle history! It's very sad actually!
I've experienced two times now that intitled, grandiose, violent and emotional immature adults diagnosed themselves with ADHD. It's very possible! But they have more than that! I'm scared they'll muddy the waters for us diagnosed with ADHD. So when you said that Musk was grandiose when he self diagnosed with autism, I felt heard and seen (thank you). Also: I'm sorry for my dear autism friends that now seems to be looked at as if they have NPD as well.
Thank you for that deep analysis on the subject you have taught eloquently for a long time -with a reference to E.M. His recent outburst was disturbing given the political power he has been assigned.
It's enlightening, but as far as I'm aware, you can count on one hand the number of people with NPD who are doing this. If a serial killer was explaining why serial killers think and behave as they do, it wouldn't be considered a positive aspect of serial killers.
I don't see narcissists being productive/constructive/positive on any length of time: from my anecdotal experience, they depend on narcissistic supply for their survival and this behavior doesn't stop there, it covers every aspect of their interactions with others. Sometimes, they can do some good but it's overshadowed by everything they inflict.
No! They fall apart, yet they can not accept the very fact that the puzzle is missing many pieces. People like this fill in the voids with a heavy fuzzy foggy filter.
While listening I had a thought they do things for people not taking into consideration these people... How it can work? And then I hear words of you, Professor, that they can't "read" people that's why they go the wrong way. It's logical. Thank you.
I can't speak for all autists, but we autists do have significant empathy for others, and justice and fairness are deep core values as well. The reality is quite different than the slurs and stereotypes levied at us. Musk makes these stereotypes worse.
Thanks so much. I have been waiting to hear your opinion about this man for a while. What about the other tech bros who are in this with him? For example Peter Thiel.
Hello professor, is it possible to train an empathetic person who has kind of neurotic brain structure to be more objective, less emotional, less anxious and to control his empathic nature.. Can a personality type could be changed if a person is willing to.. Rewiring of a brain is possible with intense practice? Could this be achieved?
As someone who was and still very empathetic. I had CTPSD and many symptoms of BPD as well. And have done a lot of healing. That was emotional dysragulation. The empathic tendency- taking people’s emotion/ pain/ feeling as my own, to the point I lost myself- was my surivival strategy to feel safe and to please/ or predict the adults in childhood. That is the survival strategy of empath/ HSP- to be safe, and to feel connected to those my life depend on them. It is not about the brain. It is trauma. The book “languages of emotion” helped me a lot. That person need to learn setting boundary, and heal trauma. And we do that by learning the message of our emotion.
Dr. Vaknin I suspect I have covert narcissistic traits, not sure if diagnosable with NPD. Is visiting a clinical psychologist the wise thing to do? What should I "look for" in my therapist? I suppose a PhD in clinical psychology, specialization in personality disorders and/or expertise in which specific psychotherapies?
Very interesting!! Dear prof. Vaknin, how easy would you say it is for a regular (normal) psychologist to detect narcissism and NPD in a person if they are not specialized in NPD? I mean regular psychologists, can they detect covert narcissism?
Psychology is not about detection, it is about diagnosis. You need to be qualified, trained, and specifically experienced in order to diagnose any mental health issue.
Is it possible that someone with a NPD like Musk is not abusive in his romantic relationships? His first ex-wife gave a speech where she spoke highly of him (it seemed very genuine). In an interview in a private setting, his second ex-wife mocks him in a subtile way. She seems to have the upper hand in the relationship. You can see him seeking her validation and behaving very awkward
He was very controlling towards his first wife (she did not mention being forced though). He remarried his second wife and got divorced. I got the impression, in terms of their body language and the subtext, that the second wife had power over him. He seemed very vulnerable and depended on her approval. Maybe he is just a good actor and fooling us. Can a narcissist truly fall in love with a woman to the extent where his ego dissolves to a certain point and he feels vulnerable?
Funny story related to this: Elon lying (allegedly, but there's adequate proof) about being a top gamer in both Diablo IV and Path of Exile 2. Long story short, there's no way someone working as hard as he claims could hold those ranks he's claimed in a video game without doing nothing but that. And then, when he "shows his work" it's clear he's inept at the games he claims to be a master at. How pitiful is that? The richest man in the world just wants to be validated even in a non-consequential video game. Like, where does the validation end? Hint: it doesn't.
There was a funny drama with Musk where he claimed to be a top gamer in different online games, was caught being boosted and now he is embarrassing himself so much that I had to come back to this video and write this comment
scientists are milking governments on unimportant , unrealistic , unbeneficial projects , that do not advance humanity in any way or form , money that can be spent on climate change , it has been said in 1970 that the money that was spent om going to the moon could have been given to every human being on this earth& every body could have enjyed being wealthy.
Anybody remember Jonestown...? This parallel of Elon going to Mars has always been at the back of my mind...Could Mars be Elon's Jonestown?...I've only put this out there because the Professor is so good at giving real food for thought...Any feedback is welcomed...Thank you...❤🌹
I think I'm a narcissist the way I mess up my own day with a bunch of messed up ideas that I treat as if they have already happened like ideas, dreams and then rapid doubt and discouragement to prevent myself from even trying. I'm paralyzed in a sense yet fully capable I can overcome and surpass my obstacles, for every deadend a workaround
My husband was a narcissist and would mess everything up too. He gave his life to God and has been healed and delivered. He’s an amazing man now. Gentle, kind, loving. An amazing husband, father and even better grandfather.
@@marianevarez2322 Wow, I am experiencing the same. I almost lost my heart and was about to surrender myself to the devil. Without knowing it. Then I met a woman and experienced love for the first time. The circumstances were so strange, I was convinced that it couldn't be a coincidence. So I devoted myself to Jesus/God. What he did touched the little bit of heart that I had left. I am still struggling but I am getting better every day. You are an amazing wife for not giving up on your husband. What traumatized people need is love and patience. Which is hard to come by when you are an abusive piece of ... like I used to be. You are amazing, Maria!
@@Thatoneswife yes! I didn’t understand the wrong he would do and then overwhelm with good. He was a liar, cheater verbally abusive. We went to counseling and the day he didn’t go with me and as soon as I walked in the counselor first words were “ he’s narcissist “ then I began doing research and yes he completely fit the description. I filed for divorce and through the divorce I gave my life to God he moved to another state and he also gave his life to God. He lost everything wife, house, business everything he walked out with only his clothes. I truly believe they have to hit rock bottom in order to be able to be changed . After 4 years the Lord restored our marriage and we have been the best marriage I could have asked for! We have been remarried 4 years now.
Honestly in my opinion unless they are not suported by group of professionals who making decision for them Narcissists every oportunity turn to disaster due to their non ability to interact with other people in propa manner and mentally disturb mind.Its pathological disorder.its mistery to me why ppl put up and tolerate their abuse.
@ the question is yes or no …not a pontification. It is a question to clarify if there is or isn’t “intention” on their part is that worthy of pity or not.
@samvaknin Have you ever seen Elon Musk say anything insightful, original or of substance? I found him extremely lame. He seems very immature. When he gets called out for talking stupid stuff he gets extremely vengeful. I enjoy listening to smart people very much. Musk never ceases to disappoint in that respect
@@user-eb9pv4dw5p9 He is even dumber than Trump which, in itself, is a major attainment. Our civilization is an idiocracy: the more of an idiot you are, the further you rise to the top. ua-cam.com/video/7DCA8sVzk1Y/v-deo.html
Despite having the effectively endless material resources, he is right now openly and overtly aiming for endless political power too. IMO it points to desire for domination as its own purpose and also to being clueless that you can be a tech and business genius, but not a political one.
We had , right here , near you , …in our country , on president’s election…..an exponent with narcisist traits , who wants to win and leads Romania …. Is about the person of Calin Georgescu…..
I was born into a family full of narcissist with both parents having NPD. I stopped watching this video the min you brought politics into it. I wish ppl would learn that the general public and American citizens old enough to vote doesn't pay much attention to celebrities, doctors, athletics or public figures opinion when it comes to politics and who they vote for.... ppl that believe in God can heal from narcissistic relationships without the need for politics which is a very narcissistic field to begin with. There's always going to be egotistical haters, narcissist or not.

Is it possible that someone with a NPD like Musk is not abusive in his romantic relationships? His first ex-wife gave a speech where she spoke highly of him (it seemed very genuine). In an interview in a private setting, his second ex-wife mocks him in a subtile way. She seems to have the upper hand in the relationship. You can see him seeking her validation and behaving very awkward
Is this why they all divorced him? Is this why he has had multiple marriages and love affairs? Money is a big motivation to lie.
I watched an interview with his first wife, saying she was controlled, forced to be thin and blond, and have children, if I can remember well.
In the biography, Musk describes her as constantly depressed and neglecting herself.
He was very controlling towards his first wife (she did not mention being forced though). He remarried his second wife and got divorced. I got the impression, in terms of their body language and the subtext, that the second wife had power over him. He seemed very vulnerable and depended on her approval. Maybe he is just a good actor and fooling us. Can a narcissist truly fall in love with a woman to the extent where his ego dissolves to a certain point and he feels vulnerable?

Long story short, there's no way someone working as hard as he claims could hold those ranks he's claimed in a video game without doing nothing but that. And then, when he "shows his work" it's clear he's inept at the games he claims to be a master at. How pitiful is that? The richest man in the world just wants to be validated even in a non-consequential video game. Like, where does the validation end? Hint: it doesn't.
Narcissistic person attract another narcissist to destroy themselves.
Trump and Elon
I thought NPD had no access to positive emotions
You think rightly.
Nonsens+hundreds of billions = still nonsens
There was a funny drama with Musk where he claimed to be a top gamer in different online games, was caught being boosted and now he is embarrassing himself so much that I had to come back to this video and write this comment
Total brilliance🎉

Send Musk to Mars with the never come back airline 👍
Musk's Mars promises are all future faking.
😅😅😅😅😅
scientists are milking governments on unimportant , unrealistic , unbeneficial projects , that do not advance humanity in any way or form , money that can be spent on climate change , it has been said in 1970 that the money that was spent om going to the moon could have been given to every human being on this earth& every body could have enjyed being wealthy.
He should take his first lady Trump with him too. 😇
Anybody remember Jonestown...? This parallel of Elon going to Mars has always been at the back of my mind...Could Mars be Elon's Jonestown?...I've only put this out there because the Professor is so good at giving real food for thought...Any feedback is welcomed...Thank you...❤🌹
Narcissists are amazing when things are amazing and awful when things are awful.
@WeRNthisToGetHer true, I guess bpd is what I meant.
I think I'm a narcissist the way I mess up my own day with a bunch of messed up ideas that I treat as if they have already happened like ideas, dreams and then rapid doubt and discouragement to prevent myself from even trying. I'm paralyzed in a sense yet fully capable I can overcome and surpass my obstacles, for every deadend a workaround
My husband was a narcissist and would mess everything up too. He gave his life to God and has been healed and delivered. He’s an amazing man now. Gentle, kind, loving. An amazing husband, father and even better grandfather.
@@marianevarez2322 Wow, I am experiencing the same. I almost lost my heart and was about to surrender myself to the devil. Without knowing it. Then I met a woman and experienced love for the first time. The circumstances were so strange, I was convinced that it couldn't be a coincidence. So I devoted myself to Jesus/God. What he did touched the little bit of heart that I had left. I am still struggling but I am getting better every day. You are an amazing wife for not giving up on your husband. What traumatized people need is love and patience. Which is hard to come by when you are an abusive piece of ... like I used to be. You are amazing, Maria!
@@WeRNthisToGetHer Yes, they can. A grandiose narcissist who hasn't dealt with enough blowback to rationalize his own doing can't.
@@marianevarez2322 Do you mean a clinically diagnosed narcissist? Only everything I have read and watched says that they cannot ever change.
@@Thatoneswife yes! I didn’t understand the wrong he would do and then overwhelm with good. He was a liar, cheater verbally abusive. We went to counseling and the day he didn’t go with me and as soon as I walked in the counselor first words were “ he’s narcissist “ then I began doing research and yes he completely fit the description. I filed for divorce and through the divorce I gave my life to God he moved to another state and he also gave his life to God. He lost everything wife, house, business everything he walked out with only his clothes. I truly believe they have to hit rock bottom in order to be able to be changed .
After 4 years the Lord restored our marriage and we have been the best marriage I could have asked for! We have been remarried 4 years now.
Grandiosity. And he is functional
Are these true for Inverted Narcissists as well?
Inverted narcissist is a narcissist.
Sam, can a narcissistic collapse be caused by anxiety and OCD, free of external influences?
No.
Honestly in my opinion unless they are not suported by group of professionals who making decision for them Narcissists every oportunity turn to disaster due to their non ability to interact with other people in propa manner and mentally disturb mind.Its pathological disorder.its mistery to me why ppl put up and tolerate their abuse.
Does narcissistic people need good friends ?
They need only supply. No friends
Should a narcissist ever be pitied? 🤔
If you refuse to pity narcissists…you don’t understand NPD.
@ the question is yes or no …not a pontification. It is a question to clarify if there is or isn’t “intention” on their part is that worthy of pity or not.
@@YaLittleFriendNOU
@ no clue what that means
What do you make of Musk's fans?
Cult. Like Trump’s fans.
@@samvakninThank you for that confirmation!!!

Elon is as insane as Emperor Nero 😅
"Elon Musk is a genius. The most brilliant mind of our time." Elon Musk's mom
Elon Musk fully concurs. He is cited in his biography saying as much multiple times.
@samvaknin Have you ever seen Elon Musk say anything insightful, original or of substance? I found him extremely lame. He seems very immature. When he gets called out for talking stupid stuff he gets extremely vengeful. I enjoy listening to smart people very much. Musk never ceases to disappoint in that respect
@@user-eb9pv4dw5p9 He is even dumber than Trump which, in itself, is a major attainment. Our civilization is an idiocracy: the more of an idiot you are, the further you rise to the top. ua-cam.com/video/7DCA8sVzk1Y/v-deo.html
Musk's energy is very *dark* , l know that .
Skynet 🙃
That thumbnail is perfect
Despite having the effectively endless material resources, he is right now openly and overtly aiming for endless political power too. IMO it points to desire for domination as its own purpose and also to being clueless that you can be a tech and business genius, but not a political one.
He is very far from genius of any kind. Read the biography.
@@samvaknin I thought you did so we don't have to.
Seriously, would you recommend it as a good reading for your average viewer?
@@goooc Absolutely.
We had , right here , near you , …in our country , on president’s election…..an exponent with narcisist traits , who wants to win and leads Romania …. Is about the person of Calin Georgescu…..
He won! And IS a fine man. Your US agenda is wrong.
Presidents of Africa especially kagame in Rwanda

“The real president of the United States” 😂😂
Commenting as I watch this exact moment . Looking forward to this video, Prof x

I was born into a family full of narcissist with both parents having NPD. I stopped watching this video the min you brought politics into it. I wish ppl would learn that the general public and American citizens old enough to vote doesn't pay much attention to celebrities, doctors, athletics or public figures opinion when it comes to politics and who they vote for.... ppl that believe in God can heal from narcissistic relationships without the need for politics which is a very narcissistic field to begin with. There's always going to be egotistical haters, narcissist or not.
thanks for sharing!
it must be interesting to many that you stopped watching, could you also announce what you had for lunch?
You have to analize Javier Milei the president of Argentina, you are going to have fun.
Perfectly said. Prof. Sam.
