Participate in 12 noon shots on TF1, it’s worth it! It is therefore always candidates who are very gifted in general knowledge who embark on the adventure but, this Sunday, October 23, a question trapped everyone. Indeed, while the midday master Stephane duel the challenger alexandrathey were asked:For psychiatrists, what is a pathological narcissist?“.
The current champion was the first to get it wrong by opting for the answer: “Someone who loves himself very much“. He justified this choice by recalling the famous Greek myth. “Narcissus falls in love with his reflection in the water and wanted to join him and drowns“. The young Alexandra meanwhile thought that this disorder was associated with people who “only love them“. But again, it was missed. The correct answer was actually: “someone who doesn’t love himself“.
Faced with the surprise of the candidates, the voice-over Zette intervened to provide explanations. “Contrary to the myth mentioned by Stéphane, the myth of Narcissus who loves himself too much, the pathological narcissus does not love himself. He is someone who has too high an opinion of what he should be but who suffers from not being able to achieve precisely this ideal in which he imagines himself.. So in fact, he constantly puts himself down, his ego is in tatters and he often suffers from depression. That’s the pathological narcissist“, she said.
A definition that has not really convinced Internet users. On Twitter, the question has been debated and many have castigated the show. “Look at the definition of pathological narcissist on the internet that was posed in the 12 strokes of noon. We agree, it’s outrageous!“, “A pathological narcissist who doesn’t love himself, I’ve never seen one, pure invention“, “Well the question of the duel bothers me enormously: already the first 2 propositions mean exactly the same thing and being in psycho, I have never heard of a narcissist who does not like himself“, we read on the platform.
