Recap
It’s easy to get swept up with the crowd, but collective narcissism can be an insidious social dynamic you might not expect.
Let’s recap
Collective narcissism is about culture, not individuals. Sometimes called “group narcissism,” this social dynamic can have major social impacts, locally and globally.
Group narcissism is often characterized by:
a pervasive sense of group superiority
threat sensitivity
outside retaliation
If you’re concerned you may be participating in collective narcissism, taking a step back and evaluating power structures, policies, and internal ideologies may help bring clarity.
Speaking with a therapist may also provide guidance to work through what you’re experiencing, your role, and how to successfully remove yourself from a negative group dynamic.
