Firstoff let me say this….. STOP THE CAP!!
Nick Cannon's recent revelation that he has been diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and his expressed desire to seek help and healing has sparked concerns. Firstly, it is improbable that an individual with narcissistic tendencies would willingly submit to evaluation, as this would necessitate acknowledging and confronting their own vulnerabilities and shortcomings. This behavior is counterproductive to the typical narcissistic traits of manipulation, self-aggrandizement, and a need for control. Additionally, it is possible that Mr. Cannon's admission is a strategic move to mitigate the damage to his reputation following his disastrous and humiliating performance in the interview with Dr. Cheyenne. By claiming to have NPD, he may be attempting to legitimize and justify his behavior during the interview.
With regards to the prospect of seeking help and healing, it is essential to acknowledge that NPD is a profound and multifaceted personality disorder that is notoriously difficult to treat. While therapy and counseling can be beneficial in teaching individuals with NPD to exhibit more adaptive behaviors, it is crucial to understand that true transformation is often an unattainable goal. The therapeutic process can be likened to training a wild animal, such as a tiger, to perform in a circus. While the animal may learn to exhibit certain behaviors, its fundamental nature remains unchanged, and it will inevitably revert to its natural instincts. This phenomenon is often referred to as “The Rubber Band” effect!
As always, this post mentions Nick Cannon but is ultimately not about Nick Cannon! This is about the belief that some (highly inexperienced) counselors, therapists and victims of NPD have regarding the possibility of a cure and/or healing of people with NPD!
