Narcissism in Film and on TV

Many of the characters in GoT seemed sorta narcissistic:

- Margaery Tyrell is a covert IMO ("I only pretended to love the poor so people will this I'm moral"; paraphrased).

- Tywin Lannister is full-blown NPD

- Tyrion was a bit narcissistic

- Honorable mention goes to Theon because he's probably CPTSD/PTSD

The Royals. Now in its third series is comedy soap opera for narcissists.

A tale of everyday narcissistic folk and a parody of royal families everywhere.

To all the covert somatics out there,

Tony Stonem, Skins UK (a bit juvenile but imo a good portrait of the young overt narcissist)

Norma Bates, Bates motel (though I thought her role of controlling, narcissistic mother portrayed a lot of borderline traits in the series.. Not exactly the same abusive monster from Hitchcock's Psycho)

Not a movie but the book the beautiful and damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald tells the chaotic relationship between a somatic overt narcissistic wife and a cerebral covert narcissist. It was not initially intended to address the struggles of NPD, but the characters portray narcissism accurately and its an interesting perspective. The book is beautifully written and covers the psychological damage of vanity, greed, self-absorption, jealousy and the need for control and power.. It's a bit of a long, slow and depressive read and I don't think theres any way to somehow appreciate any of the characters unless you relate to them but I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the topic or who's familiar with Fitzgerald's writings

Any number of Star Trek episodes.

Tony Stonem's reaction to criticism:
(from a person in position of authority) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qnk8pnOkVI
(from a closed one) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvANaVmWIKU

very interesting contrast to his little sister who also suffered from deep psychological issues but rather developed borderline traits as opposed to narcissism
