If there were ten attributes that particularly define a narcissist (wide disagreement on that, so I'm just using an example number), I think most people would have four or five of them by default of humans by nature being normally self-interested.

The narcissist will have a few more critically elevated attributes that are missing or quite weak in your average person: lacking in empathy and caring thoughts of others (narcissists feel like users when you're around them, they use people as tools for how they can feed their narcissism); very aggressive inability to recognize their own wrongs (they'll do everything to avoid this); methodically blaming everyone/everything else for things that go wrong (goes with the last one as a requirement); extreme and sharp turns against others in cases of being blamed or having mistakes & flaws pointed out (even casually; this can't be tolerated, it opens up a personality collapse risk); often a very elevated obsession with image, how they're perceived (often including beauty, but not required); you'll usually see elevated levels of lying and manipulation, often related to maintaining the other items such as image and or getting what the person wants/needs to maintain the ecosystem of narcissism (it's a whole system that has all sorts of requirements, each of which cause other consequences); they will believe they're very, very special, with typically little in the way of supporting life results to back that up (it's an inherent impossibility, as the inflation of image is always far beyond the results, no matter what the results are; and they will have excuses to cover the lack of obvious supporting results, calling themselves lazy for example, for why they've accomplished nothing, while simultaneously proclaiming they could conquer the world if they wanted to).

Maintaining narcissism is its own form of hell for most narcissists. It's a never-ending treadmill of lies, deception, abuse, losing friends, self-torture, unhappiness. They will often not understand why they're so miserable, they offload that on others via blame as well.

True narcissism almost feels like dealing with a sociopath when you're near it. Like you're dealing with a robot or alien.
This is probably a quite important point.

I think that the classic "western" approach to family residences is becoming more obviously damaging to everyone involved as time goes by. Growing up in a multi-generational household is a significantly different experience compared to having either two parents - or having one primary parent and a bread earner. Being exposed to more diverse opinions on a regular basis is probably healthy - seeing authority as imbued and transferable instead of being the exclusive domain of a parent is probably healthy - living in a household with more access to people (less technology filling the gap) is probably healthy - and living in a household with lower overall stress (since there are more people to bear the burden) is probably healthy.

I think single children end up doing poorer for much the same reasons that older siblings serve to lessen the reliance on parents while also being imbued with trust and responsibility... but, I think having more adults present as "caretakers" is just a good thing. So, even if we keep nuclear families internally - it might be beneficial to children to open up more community trust for communal custody of children's development.

I grew up an only child[1] and I have a lot of pleasant memories but I especially treasure some times I went off with a random Aunt, or a random neighbor and got to watch them for a day do their art stuff, or go for hikes in a different way - it helped shake up my mental monoculture. I had friends that grew up in multi-generational households but didn't myself, and it was quite a different experience being over there... learning that just because parents were away it wasn't anarchy - getting to interact with different adults different days and doing different activities that interested them.

I really think the nuclear family approach could use some real improvement.

I don't think you can call clojure.async as something that was made for switching anything, replacing it. Both ways exist and are being promoted for their use cases. I think Clojure is one of the few languages where things have been very stable for a good while. Maybe it's being developed slower than other languages, but using Clojure is nice because of the trust you have of it remaining the same. Everything else is basically libraries on top of the language itself.

At its core, narcissism is a defence mechanism [1] against a state of mind of which you are afraid.

To get over your narcissism, you can grow your emotional strength until you are ready to face your biggest, unknown-to-you fear, until you are ready to be in the state of mind that you avoid. Right now, your mind does everything to hide that state of mind from your awareness.

There are plenty of ways to grow your emotional strength. Meditation, being compassionate, express yourself e.g. with singing or dancing, ...

Trust yourself. Deep down you know what you have to do.

IMO, you're looking at the wrong symptoms.

What you're describing is just being inconsiderate and I'd imagine that you're probably young. Simply paying attention to those bad behaviors is a good start on addressing them. Attempting to be kind, curious, and attentive is a strong strategy. I mean, on some level, that behavior selfish and "narcissistic", but it's not a personality disorder. IME it's not what people are talking about when they are talking about "narcissism".

As to NPD...

You might look at how well you respond to criticism, and what kinds of criticisms cause you to become upset.

The reason that you "couldn't find any book for people who are narcissistic themselves and want to fix that" is that NPD is an issue where people have a fragile sense of who they are so they develop a lot of strategies for not having to encounter personal criticisms; by definition they aren't looking for those kinds of books. Any suggestion that change is necessary is something that feels harmful.
The thing is, it's not just about income. If you come from generations of poverty, it's written all over you, and that closes doors in your face.

The children of upward mobile immigrants who don't come from lower classes in their home country reflect that, even if the parents struggle in the new country.

They are socialized differently from true poor people.

For instance, language: the children will tend to pick up the "socio-economically preferred dialect"¹ of English, rather than a socially stigmatized dialect. The children will do this naturally, because they will tune in to how the way people speak English in America determines the perception of social class, and then they will learn that way of speaking which fits their self-image about where they fit in society.

I'm actually attending therapy, on a regular schedule, and struggled to find a good therapist.

Shop around? You're inviting someone to perform online brain surgery on you. Fortunately, you can undo the operation if you don't like it (sort of). If you don't like what the therapist is doing, keep looking for a different therapist that works for you.

I've heard a story where a therapist got upset with their client because the client said, during a therapy session, they were going to find someone else.

Simple point of order: I don't need to tell my therapist if they're fired. I just walk away.
I think the article generalizes the author's experience with first line interviews of wholly unqualified people to all post-interview feedback, and definitely shouldn't. People who literally can't Fizz Buzz are not going to argue with you about how no they are actually great devs. People who are borderline candidates who didn't quite get there in a final interview on fuzzier attributes (too slow, spaghetti code, etc.) are a lot more likely to take feedback poorly.

I tried giving post-full interview feedback for a while, but I stopped based on low cost/benefit.

> I'm not entirely convinced narcissism is something that has to be fixed.

You sound kinda like a narcissist. And the problem with overconfidence/big ego is that it doesn't help you choose the best big challenges to tackle. Having some humility and keeping things in perspective makes you all the more aware of what your real strengths are, and how to best leverage them.
You ignored the point that rogue waves often move in a different direction than the swell. So orienting by the swell doesn't help you with a rogue wave.
A therapist can confront you as a human being in way that no book, friend, or family member ever can. There are often truths about being human that one has difficulty accepting on the basis of logic. A trained human being can find a way to make those truths acceptable.
In many many subject areas we already have that through the use of preprint servers such as Arxiv. No need to get rid of the upsides of peer review just to get that.

I loved this line from Eric Weinstein's conversation with Garrett Lisi: "A good scientist is engaged in a dialectic between arrogance and humility." A dash of narcissism can be good, when contextually appropriate, and kept in balance.

To that end, cultivate micro-habits, and pay attention to your emotional responses. Whenever I feel a sting to my ego, publicly or privately, I now try to embrace it, "take it on the chin", to be grateful for the lesson, to explicitly choose to let someone else (or the Universe) win. It's difficult at first, but it gets easier.

It's taken a long time to truly appreciate the line from Desiderata: "Listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story". Think of it as a matter of interpersonal respect first, and "correctness" second. The human always has their reasons, right or wrong; when they feel respected and heard, they're much more likely to be receptive to new information or another point of view.

My secret meta-hack? Using narcissism to curb narcissism. From the Tao Te Ching: "All streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are. Humility gives it its power. If you want to govern the people, you must place yourself below them. If you want to lead the people, you must learn how to follow them."
I can’t agree with you there. I would say most professionals trading these stocks in volume know more about tech than what’s being discussed here. I speak from my own experience but Wall Street has changed quite a bit in the past two decades and domain knowledge is what gets you paid. These guys also have access to c-suites to continue to build on domain knowledge.
It is funny for companies to expect candidates to spend time to give feedback about their hiring process, but to spend an iota of time to give candidates feedback about performance: Risky! Lawsuit! Rant! You've more chance of damage by rogue employees than a candidate that's looking at multiple companies.

That's why private healthcare makes no sense. You just cannot attach a price tag to human life no matter if it's premature birth or a child with leukemia or routine surgery like an appendicitis. The only sensible way to run healthcare is by socializing it.
IIRC it's similar for Reddit (I believe it's meant to be if the comment contributes to the discussion or not). Few people seem to follow it though.
Pathologists say that detailed autopsies of old people almost always turn up some form of cancer, often slow growing. This is true regardless of cause of death. If you live long enough you'll eventually get cancer: it's inevitable.
I have no problem with requiring new stuff to be built to current standards. I have a big problem with a situation like this that basically says the building must be scrapped. That is not reasonable in my book.

Problem #1 is automatic image registration/alignment which is still largely an open problem of great interest to astronomers and those in medical/surgical fields.

It's challenging because we're taking 2D images of objects moving in a 3D space.

For years, I have been using the Inbox Zero method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9UjeTMb3Yk) to stay sane. It really does help. I regularly empty my inbox while others seem stuck in the hell that is 9,000 unread emails.

In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:

Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
Requires excessive admiration
Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
