Favourite version of this at the moment is all the Gen X-er memes about helpless Gen X being squished by narcissistic boomers and millennials.
I mean, sure, the population has been trending more narcissistic for decades but surely it must have skipped a generation...
Fun to tell people about this idea because everyone knows some private, quiet individual who’s the biggest narcissist in their circle

talking with wife about the different kinds of narcissism & had an odd thought: sometimes it can be “more narcissistic” to be private than public, in the sense that one might want to protect one’s self-image from scrutiny
Narcissism is a convoluted concept, needs disambiguating

Yes I found the concept of overt vs covert narcissism helpful, also the wounded narcissist, the Co-narcissist. All different defense patterns.
