@leven,
Alam mo sis, hindi ko alam kung matatawa ko kay Binay when he said na it's about time they undergo medical testing, psychological testing even. Bakit kamo? Baka wala nang qualified na pwedeng tumakbo, LOL!
Kung pwede ko lang sabihin sa kanya, "Isa ka pa! hahaha!"
I actually did not suspect Duterte having a narcissist personality disorder, more of anti-social personality disorder (aspd) actually. During his school days, he got expelled twice due to misconduct. Kung sakaling he had misconduct traits/disorder noon, it could lead to anti-social personality. And then look how he ruthlessly deals with criminals and non-abiding citizens. Wala rin syang pakialam sa self-image nya, which is a common preoccupation of common people, unless he has self-serving motives.
Narcissist, on the other hand, have inflated ego, are self-entitled, conscious about their self-image, believes that they can only be understood by equally brilliant people (read more on the net). Pwede mo ngang ipasok si Roxas sa signs ng narcissism eh.
Anyway, pwede naman mag co-occur and anti-social and narcicissism.
Back to anti-social personality (aspd), my prof in abnormal psychology who is a psychotherapist and an assessor said, we commonly see aspds in two places. It's either they're living in prisons or occupying high ranking positions. With regards to showing emotions and empathy, people with aspd kasi have learned to adapt and mimic what normal people do.
With Duterte, hindi naman yata sya na-groom i-hone yung self-image nya na maging pleasing personality man lang, unlike the other candidates na bihasa na gumawa ng public persona.
And then to add, there's Miriam whom my prof hypothesized to have histrionic personality due to her theatrical, and attention grabbing way of speaking.
So psychologically speaking, for me, parang wala naman sila masyadong pinagkakaiba. You can read more about the signs of aspd and narcissicism, and hypothesize on your own candidates.
In my opinion, these people are gunning for the highest place in the land. They do not belong in the norm, they are no common people. They are outliers. So one cannot expect normal/common qualities and behaviors from them.
The question is, can they use this for the good of the common people?
