Understanding narcissistic pride
One issue many have in understanding narcissistic culture is that what the narcissist terms as honor, is in fact merely pride, and face.
A false public perception of self. Everything is face value with no depth.
It has nothing to do with integrity, and everything to do with narcissistic ego protection and narcissistic self perception.
They depend entirely upon the opinions of others, the professed approval of others for validation.
That is not Honor, integrity, Chivalry.
It is a false pride, an illusion at best with no actual depth or substance to sustain it.
Honor and Integrity
( One cannot have one without the other)
Is self evident, thus
Requires no validation.
Is expressed in acts of Chivalry, Courtesy, kindness, compassion, self sacrifice.
Acclaim comes to the person of honor in simple respect, earned respect.
Trust, that has been earned and demonstrated.
Confidence, self confidence built upon integrity and honor.
What the narcissist seeks, demands, and desires,
A person of honor sees as disgrace.
