¿No te da vergüenza?

 Scott Peck describes both neuroses and character disorders as disorders of responsibility. Peck writes,

"The neurotic assumes too much responsibility; the person with a character disorder not enough. When neurotics are in conflict with the world, they automatically assume that they are at fault. When those with character disorders are in conflict with the world, they automatically assume the world is at fault."

The Road Less Traveled

La foto la pone usted, sin vergüenza.
All of us have a smattering of neurotic and character disordered personality traits. The major problem in all of our lives is to decide and clarify our responsibilities. To truly be committed to a life of honesty, love and discipline, we must be willing to commit ourselves to reality. This commitment, according to Peck, "requires the willingness and the capacity to suffer continual self-examination." Such an ability requires a good commitment, according to Peck, "requires the willingness and the capacity to suffer continual self-examination." Such an ability requires a good relationship with oneself. This is precisely what no shame-based person has.

Character Disorder Syndromes Of Shame

NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER

According to James Masterson, the main clinical characteristics of the narcissistic personality disorder are:
"Grandiosity, extreme self-involvement and lack of interest and empathy for others, in spite of the pursuit of others to obtain admiration and approval."

The Narcissistic And Borderline Disorders

The Narcissist is endlessly motivated to seek perfection in everything he does. Such a personality is driven to the acquisition of wealth, power and beauty, and to find others who will mirror and admire his grandiosity. Underneath this external facade there is an emptiness filled with envy and rage. The core of this emptiness is internalized shame.

    1. Perdón, Andy. Me hacía desastres el copy & paste (Cosa rara: me cambiaba el orden de los párrafos.). Así que tuve que poner la letra original. Si la amplío es muy grande y deforme. Así estamos.
