I've wondered whether psychopathy is a result of inbreeding with reptilian types, since it's a problem of a lack of wiring between cognitive and emotional areas of the brain that reptilians are said not to have either. But even if it is, it's still part of the obstacle course. I don't think really that obstacles are necessary but are col…
I've wondered whether psychopathy is a result of inbreeding with reptilian types, since it's a problem of a lack of wiring between cognitive and emotional areas of the brain that reptilians are said not to have either. But even if it is, it's still part of the obstacle course. I don't think really that obstacles are necessary but are collateral damage of broadening experience. You might say bumbling into unfortunate cul-de-sacs.
So, the Reptilian Brains of psychopaths/narcissists are smaller than normal. Think about that, for a second. Not quite what you were thinking before, maybe?
In any case, it would seem that NPD, etc are organic (genetic?) conditions, over which the sufferers can never fully conquer. My mother, who was brilliant in many ways had extreme NPD, although I don't believe that any shrink she paid ever gave her that formal diagnosis. But her shrink friends knew this, of course because it was obvious, if you know about these things.
Many of our family friends growing up and many members of my vast extended family are in the business of psychology and psychiatry.
No amount of therapy or anything could get rid of NPD just kind-of mitigate it.
They literally cannot see other people. Everyone is themself and when they don't like their "reflection" (a completely different person), they pounce and abuse and raise all kinds of Hell, because it's not the reflection of themselves they want to see. Horrific.
That's really interesting. I would think if it's a reptilian trait, the amygdala would be pronounced. I hadn't heard about the size of the amygdala but rather the connection between the emotional and cognitive areas of the brain, in other words, a wiring problem.
Well, my mother was admittedly a "Rage-a-holic" and Boy, was she ever! My brother and I were severely emotionally abused. My friends are mostly male, as a result. That whole experience did not make me a fan of women, even though I had the greatest grandmother in the world (on my father's side).
I know it's just my experience and I'm not prejudiced against women, because, of course, I am one. I'm friends with amazing women. But "Girls' Night Out", or groups of women or anything that focuses on women, for me, that is a huge, quintuple "Yuck".
But I see through that karmic garbage and I love her and I miss her.
My mother had similar traits, but her rages happened about every three days. It wasn't constant. It was on some kind of weird cycle. But it was abusive in my book because she could say some pretty mean things. I also made my friends among men for a long time and I thought women were rather stupid. lol. I've mellowed over the years though and I've learned to appreciate women friends. I had a psychic reading once where I was told I was in fact married to my mother in a past life in the 1600's where she was the man and I was the woman. That was a quintuple yuck for sure, but I could see how the two lifetimes dovetailed. They say we reincarnate with many of the same people over lifetimes taking various roles. These are the most precious beings to us, but they aren't the personalities we know during lifetimes. They're much "bigger" spirits unlimited by egoic personality. They take the roles of enemies or parents or lovers...whatever... just to see what happens. I bet they must get together between lives and laugh about the whole thing.

I've heard, through my old friend, Laura Knight-Jadczyk that studies of the brains of psychopaths noted an under-sized amgydala (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amygdala), which is exactly that: The Reptilian Brain: https://explorerresearch.com/the-reptilian-brain/.

Yes, yes, yes!
