God Complex

The God Complex has never been recognised as a personality disorder, but it is very similar to the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). It was coined by the psychoanalyst Ernest Jones, it is an unshakable belief characterized by consistently inflated feelings of personal ability, privilege, or infallibility. A person with a God Complex may refuse to admit the possibility of their mistakes or failures, even in the face of irrefutable evidence, intractable problems or difficult and impossible tasks. The person is also highly dogmatic in their views, meaning the person speaks of their personal opinions as though they were unquestionably correct. He/she does not concern responsibility for the evil he commits. Someone with a God Complex doesn't respect any conventions and society demands, and may request special consideration or privileges. The person demands constant attention from others, adoration and an emotional attitude. The confidence which characteristic for the God Complex representatives can express in fact the low self-esteem. In this case even slight criticism can lead to a complete breakdown. This creates the need for admiration even stronger, which finally increases the self-esteem of the person. It's a bit of a disastrous cycle like so many other mental disorders, it's not entirely known what NPD or God Complex causes are.  Probably this phenomena is rooted in either excessive pampering, or parents' criticism, or it can be a genetic predisposition. It usually affects more males than females beginning in the teen years or early adulthood. People suffering from this disorder feel equal to God. They demand special treatment and often try to subjugate others. The God complex is a psychological illusion in which a person is convinced of his omnipotence and omniscience. According to many experts Donald Trump is an example of "the poster child for the God Complex". However, in this particular example, he demonstrated many of the traits associated with the complex before he became the President. Donald Trump's narcotic personality contributed to the fact that he become the president of the USA.

    Donald Trump probably doesn't have a 'narcotic' personality, does he? He is obviously a narcissist though.
    Shorten your posts, please!
    Is the whole YouTube channel you refer to about disorders? Which episode is relevant to this post?

    You are right, I made a mistake by accident. No, from what I know, only this episode was about this particular disorder. Its title is "Twitch Streamer from" God Complex "". Thank you for your comment.

    What is the reason of God complex? Does raising a child have a certain influence on it?

Should Lydia's husband be arrested?

           From legal point of view Lydia’s husband should be arrested, because he let his wife die. On the other hand he was depressed and he was not able to take reasonable decisions, that’s why his behavior could probably be justified.  Lydia presented a toxic personality. All the time she demanded somebody’s attention. Her husband was determined to devote the rest of his life to looking after her and he gave up everything for Lydia. However, he couldn’t make her satisfied and happy, as she was simply a mental-ill person. Several times she tried to commit a suicide. In my opinion she should be under hospital’s control.

"Five ways the pandemic surge in hand sanitisers may not be great news in the long term"

 Tonight I read an article entitled "Five ways the pandemic surge in hand sanitisers may not be great news in the long term" It is true that the use of hand sanitisers and other antibacterial and antiviral cleaning products has sharply increased worldwide since the pandemic started. It has certainly helped to stop the increase in viral infections, however, it has some side effects. I learned that one study found that the regular use of ethanol to sanitize hands resulted in relatively low but measurable levels of ethanol in the blood. While this was below acute toxicity levels, continued use can result in "chronic toxicity", increasing the risk of health problems such as eczema or skin cancer. It can even be fatal at times. Repeated use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause antimicrobial resistance and increase other infections. Research has also shown that ethanol leaking into lakes, ponds, rivers and oceans can harm aquatic species. I believe that despite the

Borderline personality disorder

Obraz
Borderline personality disorder is a disorder that includes, but is not limited to, mood instability, identity disturbances, feelings of unfulfillment and emptiness. This dysfunction is characterized by the prevalence of negative feelings, fear of rejection, abandonment and disappointment, the inability to build stable relationships with others, and an inconsistent image of "me" distancing myself from certain feelings. Borderline personality disorder manifests itself both in a person's beliefs and in their behavior. The patient experiences alternately anxiety, anger, frustration, sadness, shame and boredom. These emotions generate stress, which further strengthens the negative attitude and perception of the world. Misunderstandings and paranoid symptoms often appear under the influence of severe stress. They may require hospital treatment. Borderline personality disorder is also characterized by the inability to cope with stress and crisis on its own. Instead of actin
