Brené Brown

“hubris is positively correlated with narcissism. In Daring Greatly, I write about how everything from Facebook and influencer culture to the increasingly insane behavior of politicians has pushed the term “narcissism” into the zeitgeist. While it’s penetrated social consciousness enough that most people correctly associate it with a pattern of behaviors that include grandiosity, a pervasive need for admiration, and a lack of empathy, almost no one understands how every level of severity in this diagnosis is underpinned by shame. Narcissism is shame-based. In fact, I define narcissism as the shame-based fear of being ordinary.”
