This page is an archive of an older collection of media links, several of which date from 2017. It brings together different kinds of writing rather than one body of clinical evidence. A headline about selfies, an ex-partner or a politician cannot diagnose an individual. The guide below explains how to read the collection with that limit in mind.
First identify what kind of text you are reading
A thriller interview concerns fiction and writing. A television review discusses characters and entertainment. A political commentary or reader’s letter offers an argument. Those formats may raise useful questions, but they do not perform a clinical assessment.
When a report mentions research, look for the original publication, the people studied, the measure used and the limits of the conclusion. A group association does not establish why one person behaves as they do. A dramatic headline may omit that distinction.
Keep a headline separate from your own situation
Staying in touch with an ex, posting a selfie or looking at social media at work is not enough to establish a personality disorder. Consider concrete conduct and context instead of applying an article’s label to someone you know.
A first-person account may be meaningful as an account. It does not become this blog author’s personal experience merely because an extract appeared here. This revision does not repeat the old unmarked relationship story or present its interpretation as a universal explanation.
The older source links
The links below preserve the article addresses from the former collection. They are archival references, not endorsements, a current news update or treatment evidence. In the check on 26 October 2026, the Psych Central, Daily Dot and Glenn Beck addresses returned a not-found response. The Straits Times address opened a general news page, and the Toronto Sun response did not establish access to the full article. Three entries in the older related-links block also returned not-found responses: “Narcissism in the news”, “What they say about narcissism in the news? part 3” and “What they say about narcissism in the news? Part 2”. The other four publisher addresses responded, but that does not verify their full contents. Keep these limits in mind before following or sharing an old link.
Houston Chronicle — thriller-author feature
Psych Central — older relationship commentary
The Mary Sue — political commentary from the older collection
ABC — a report on personal internet use at work
The Straits Times — reader’s letter about public recognition
Toronto Sun — an older relationship headline
The Daily Dot — television review
Glenn Beck — campus commentary from the older collection
A useful question before sharing
What exactly does the source support, and what am I adding? If the original research or full article is unavailable, say so rather than treating a title as confirmation. Sharing a claim can affect someone’s privacy and reputation even when the topic feels familiar.
For broader background, the existing Dutch-language guide to understanding narcissism distinguishes terminology and diagnosis. This page remains a reading guide to an archive, not a way to label people in your life.
Optional further reading
