Tonight's Subject: 2 Types of Narcissists
When a narcissist creates and projects a false image of who he imagines himself to be, he is either somatic or cerebral. In other words, he either attracts attention by utilizing his physical attributes or by applying his intelligence. The somatic narcissist flaunts his body, exhibits his muscles, and brags about his physical conquests. A cerebral narcissist uses his intellect or talent to attract attention. All narcissists are both cerebral and somatic. However, one type is always dominant in a narcissist. The narcissist may swing between his dominant type and recessive type, but he prefers utilizing one over the other. In this week’s show, we will discuss the difference between a cerebral narcissist and a somatic narcissist and how to recognize one before you get hurt.
