Rampant Narcissism 2
#26976263 - 10/08/20 10:47 PM (3 years, 3 months ago) |
|

A friend introduced me to this guy the other day. Makes these poingnant 1.5 minute clips of social commentary. And seeing them helped me to put my finger on one of the aspects that troubles me most about what the youth of today go through (to the point that another Mod here said the other day 'I'm fairly sure anyone born after about 2010 is just totally fucked' - and I found that - actually - I completely agree with him).
Rampant Narcissism, at its finest:
I mean I can't blame the youth for getting caught up in the wave of this egomania and self-obsession, but man, does it not strike you as a gift squandered, and so much energy wasted? Why make any real positive change in oneself or the world when one can gain the admiration of thousands by doing this vapid shit instead? It is, after all, no work at all really... I'm not sure what the point of this thread is other than to share these vids with the gang cause I think they're funny and to have a little vent about this shit, so feel free to chime in with anything and everything.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

Empty shells. All of them. I wonder if they wake up one day and think 'why did I waste my life like this?'. I truly hope they'll wake up one day, but looking at this, makes me think they are resistant to such thoughts.
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Jokeshopbeard, I needed a good chuckle.
It really saddens me that this is the world today, so many people fascinated with their own ignorance and idiocy. One of the greatest achievements of humankind is the internet, the knowledge of the world with unrestricted instant global communication. Yet this is how it is utilised....

Yah seriously this is like the boomer post of the year. Little kids don't actually think like that. Tiktokers are like modern day clowns. I think u just don't get it. Its the same thing with like mighty moms who think kids are eating tide pods. Its like no mom idk what kinda age prejudice zoomer stereotype they played on Dr phil this week to get ur panties in a bunch but real kids with rational brains knew that was just some internet joke where asa boomers were dumb enough to think it was a serious thing. But yah kids today all eat tide pods and do jenkem cuz tiktok influences told em u get a crazy rush. This generation is fucked the world is going to hell vote trump 2020 to save the soul of America

As I said yesterday, you always seem to think you know better than everyone else.
Why?
How do you know that 'these kids don't think like that'?
Is it so hard to believe we live with a generation of minds warped by social media?

Every generation thinks the younger generation is worse than they are. There are narcissists and self absorbed youth in every generation, always have been. Things are pretty much the same as they've always been if you ask me, maybe a little worse overall, but the young are the same as they've always been.

I honestly think things are a little better over all. Zoomers aren't falling into the modern pitfalls millennials had to navigate. They've learned. Dont belive the hype.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Oh wow, so you've hung out with people younger than you before? Well fuck me, that's incredible!!!! You know, given all the people I talk to all the time as a 94% extroverted motherfucker, I have NEVER talked to anyone younger than me, and certainly not in depth! Truly, I bow to your superior knowledge of life, the universe, and everything, my good sir.
/sarcam.
In all seriousness though; we have a differing opinion. That is all. You do not know that yours holds any more weight than mine. At least with a response like this:

I can say 'well, how about the fact that social media didn't exist a few generations ago?'. Do you really think that growing up with the effects of something so all encompassing will not MASSIVELY affect the minds of developing humans?
I can tell you now, I've discussed this subject at length with people from all over the world, and from all walks of life. One of whom is an expert in raising developing minds in fact, and most people do see the change. Even amongst my peers, it is woefully apparent that establishing ones place in the social hierarchy - something which must all do - is completely different now compared to how it was done before the advent of the days when everyone had a camera in their hand at all times and a way in which to preen and present ones doings, via a direct line to millions of viewers, in a way that makes them look almost infinitely more spectacular than they actually are.
Of course I'm absolutely open to the fact that I may be wrong here. I've no doubt for all of mankind there has always been a set % of narcissists. However surely one cannot argue that with the advent of technology, young humans are now presented with an influence which ENCOURAGES narcissism?

Two thoughts here: 1, social media has absolutely had a negative affect on society.
2, so has the generation before us.
I could go on and on about the details, but it’s exhausting and fruitless. The best thing we can all do is choose not to get sucked into the vacuum and try our best to live in our own happiness without it hinging upon strangers’ opinions. Minding one’s own business and having common sense are super powers these days.

Sounds like ur living is some kind of self absorbed bubble where u refuse to believe little kids aren't stupid weak younglings. Other members have now pointed it out as well and u just went off like a cannon on some sick deranged rant.

A sick rant? Can you explain to me how it was 'sick'?
Admittedly I've time to kill so I don't mind explaining my views and shooting the shit about this subject, but I would really appreciate if you would tell me what's sick about that.
Little kids are naive. You were, I was, we all were. This is not a debatable subject; with very few exceptions it is fact.
Hell, many adults remain in that stage and do not mature past it.
It's the nature of existence and our condition.
Self-absorbed how?

Everybody born after 2010 is still in elementary school.
They can't feel comfortable enough about themselves because low self esteem among children is a very big problem.

Oh. Yeah that was just because you're always talking in a fashion like you know better than everyone, so I felt like being equally pompous for a minute there.
I admit, it was in bad taste; it's been a long morning and an even longer night and so I do apologize for my little tirade there.
Do you not recognize at all though how your words frequently belittle others experiencess?

Absolutely not. Like you admitted it was a difference of opinion. People aren't belittling you because they hold different views. Again not everything is about you all the time.
