Paranoid Narcissism - Deepstash

Paranoid Narcissism

Is the mixed desires & fears of being watched by unknown others defines virtual society, gives rise to anxieties such as the sense of exposed insignificance & the fear of missing out:

  • You despise yourself for your public failures: Oh, why did I post such an embarrassing, personal status?
  • You despise your lack of compensating public success: Oh, why did no one like that embarrassing post?

You wish to erase your tracks, but feel strangely nonexistent when undocumented; your mistakes remain glaringly public, but your good qualities refuse to go viral.
