Mirror, mirror on the wall…

Narcissists often manage to climb to the very top of the corporate or political ladder, it’s because they are ready to unashamedly crawl there on all fours, immune to ethical and moral values, juggling deception and confusion. Once installed on a throne, the ego-maniac simply becomes his job title, and therefore, will display depressive or suicidal tendencies when “unplugged” from power.

Narcissists’ subconscious and constant fear of disclosure often results in recurring dreams about a broken mirror. What happens when the distorting mirror finally explodes and breaks into thousands of lies?

Quite ironically, it’s been well documented that narcissistic parents actually strengthen survival skills of the scapegoat child.

elfin - microdeletion syndrome

The adjective "elfin" may have originated to describe the facial features of people with Williams syndrome; before Williams syndrome's scientific cause was understood, people believed that individuals with the syndrome, who have exceptionally charming and kind personalities, had extraordinary, even magical, powers. This has been proposed to be the origin of the folklore of elves, fairies and other forms of the 'good people' or 'wee folk' present in English folklore.
