Pat Macdonald's Narcissism In The Modern World
Narcissists’ relationships base on feeding their egos; they can be cheaters, players, and manipulators. To examine narcissists, manipulate their partners, Andrew F. Luchner and Stacey Tantleff-Dunn, two psychologists, say, “The individuals who struggles with vulnerable narcissism has difficulty maintaining boundaries between their own emotion and the emotion of others”. (pra.5) Narcissists easily create a new relationship because of their attractive appearances. Narcissists are self-regulate due to engage in someone who fits their expectation. After they meet their perfect one, they signal their commitments at first time; however, the commitments are no longer in the future. People may think they are lucky person because they meet a charming

or beautiful partner and even think he or she is their true love. They enjoy their excitement and the great starting of their relationships; unfortunately, happy time can’t keep long. Narcissistic relationships don’t contain any commitment and responsibility. They are not responsible for others and act like game players during their relationships. Narcissists enjoy the short-term benefit, but they win the long- term cost on themselves, others, and the society.
Since narcissists place themselves in front of others, they may struggle in a terrible relationship. Narcissistic relationships are all about themselves and they avoid real commitments. For example, Scott and Rachael, who are on MTV documentary. For Scott, their relationship doesn’t contain any commitments and responsibilities, but Rachel doesn’t think the same way. After Rachael recognizes Scott doesn’t care about her at all, she gets away from the game-player. (214) Narcissists cheat on their partners; as a result, they can’t maintain their relationship quality. Their relationships always end in unhappiness.
Narcissists manipulate partners to power themselves and cause problems on others.
Narcissists are over-confident. They think they are special, so they can cheap during a relationship. Pat MacDonald, author of “Narcissism in the modern world”, claims that “Today is a huge emphasis self-admiration and a sense of entitlement ‘because I’m worth it’, which can involve in a failure to connect with others, echoing the plight of Narcissus”. (par.1) Over self- admiration leads narcissists to behave badly with their partners. Narcissists have contempt to their partners, but they don’t feel guilty about their behaviors. Oppositely, they believe they are worthy to do whatever they want. However, their entitlement doesn’t benefit other people who stay around them. After narcissists hurt their partners by cheating, their partners may fear to believe others people who are loyal. To dictate narcissists can be manipulator,
Darlene Lancer, the author of “Understanding the Mind of a Narcissist”, she says that “They manipulate to get their way and punish or make partners feel guilty for turning them down”.
(par.8) For narcissists, relationship partners are used to enhance their egos, as a result, they will manipulate their partners to help themselves to get in their own exception. They don’t care about the feeling of others. When narcissists’ partners don’t feed their needs, they will get
punishments and feel they are faulty. Narcissists’ antisocial attitudes have a negative impact on the American society. A healthy society value a significant element that is “Honor”. The moral principle is people respecting and trusting one other. However, narcissists don’t behave in the appropriate way. They don’t honor respect, righteousness, and integrity. All of above elements are valuable for building a high-quality society. Campbell and Twenge consider personal relationship is expensive for the society. They state that “Relationship founded on love, commitment, and loyalty are also good for the broader community: stable relationships mean stable individuals who are better citizens, coworkers, students, and leaders”. (213) Individuals are significant roots of the society. Their relationships that include romantic relationships, friendships, and career relationships contribute the excessive effects on the culture. For example, people lie to their romantic partners, steal ideas from their colleagues in order to get rewards, or students cheat during the examinations to raise their academic grades. If culture shifts toward to deceptiveness, American society will become unsafe and vulnerable.
