Quote by M Scott Peck
Since narcissists deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world's fault. Since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad. They project their own evil onto the world. They never think of themselves as evil, on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others.
Summary
This quote highlights the behavior and mindset of narcissists when faced with conflict. Due to their belief in their faultlessness, they tend to shift blame onto others and see conflicts as the world's fault. By denying their own shortcomings, they project their own negative traits onto those around them and perceive others as bad. This tendency to project and demonize others stems from their inability to acknowledge their own flaws while magnifying the flaws of others. This quote sheds light on the narcissistic perception of self and the world, revealing a pattern of distorted thinking and self-preservation.
