They intentionally expose their bodies to hundreds and thousands of eyes to get attention, validation, and admiration. Don’t get me wrong; not all those who reveal their bodies and expose them on social media are narcissists. I’m not saying that. What I’m saying is that there is a subgroup of narcissists who like to get attention that way. In fact, their entire life is all about maintaining a certain figure, not to be happy about it, about their own body, not to be satisfied with what they have worked so hard for, only to post pictures on social media and vicariously live through the attention they get off of it. If likes go low and comments fall, the number of comments goes crazy. That is what triggers their depression, and they seek more; they post more; they try new things only to be admired. Now what does this tell us about their dark personality? They are deeply insecure individuals who are shame-avoidant but are driven by shame at the same time. It’s their own shame that forces them to post pictures on social media that can get them a lot of attention, that they are unstable, and that they depend on the validation they get from the internet, which is really unreliable. They do not have a true self, and they are always chasing the new hit.
Another variation of the same thing is that, while this has nothing to do with exposing their body, it has a lot to do with projecting him or herself as a family man or woman. The narcissist may continuously post pictures of their family on social media, confusing their new supply. ‘How well, if you were to look at these pictures and at the same time compare your experience of them with what they’re posting, you would be confused because you would think, ‘Oh, he or she is posting pictures with their family, and at the same time, being abusive to me. No, I must be wrong about them. He can’t be abusive because, see, he’s doing all this stuff; she’s doing all this stuff with his or her family, and it looks like they are a loving family. How can he or she be that bad? No, I’m wrong.’ This is how they make you crazy: through posting fake pictures and through creating narratives by weaponizing social media. What you do not see behind these family-friendly pictures is the monster who terrorizes these family members and kind of sells these images online for attention and to uphold his or her own image.
