Narcissism: Reddit reveals how self-interest shapes society.
SlateThis is part of r/Farhad, in which Slate contributor Farhad Manjoo delves into the Reddit communities that bring him peculiar joy. In 2016 Dayna Craig, a poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland, published a short bit of verse that might well explain every terrible person you’ve ever known, not least a certain former American president. … I feel like I’m realizing I’m in the Truman Show.” Sometimes it even takes a person posting on Reddit to realize that a supposed friend doesn’t really care about them. “She said that my bump would be too distracting, she didn’t want her pictures to turn into a ‘maternity photoshoot’ and that she just didn’t feel comfortable with it,” the woman wrote. This saga suggests why Dayna Craig’s “Narcissist’s Prayer” is so often cited on Reddit—it’s the perfect shorthand for identifying the narcissist in your life.
