What we now know about narcissism. Some of this might surprise you. #hsp #hspmen #sensitive #empath #highlysensitive #narcissism https://loom.ly/jUFUdX8
What we’ve learned about the psychology of narcissism over the past 30 years
Narcissism has two surprisingly different faces: one is bold and grandiose, the other is vulnerable and hypersensitive. Both stem from a common core of self-importance, but their emotional experiences are worlds apart, challenging our most common stereotypes about the trait.

The root of extremist ideology? #hsp #hspmen #sensitive #empath #highlysensitive #moralabsolutism https://loom.ly/uNKhh8M
Moral absolutism explains support for bans better than conservative or liberal ideology
A new study finds that one's moral philosophy, more than their political ideology, predicts their support for banning practices they find immoral. This difference helps explain a deep-seated source of political disagreement.

Neuroscientists are starting to unravel the amygdala's complexity, shedding new light on PTSD
Often labeled the brain’s fear center, the amygdala is much more complex than that. A study in Translational Psychiatry suggests that PTSD is linked to altered connectivity in one of its subregions, with potential implications for emotion and body awareness.
