Narcasism

[EvianBaby]

Is referring to ones self in the third person a narcissistic trait?

Why do people do it?

[Mick-Talbot]

M-T agrees totally with, Evian.

So the Queen is a narcissist? That's an interesting perspective, Evian.

One couldn't comment

[tonyav]

one couldn't care less.

Because, EvianBaby may forget EvianBaby's name?


Hence, need to remind EvianBaby of EvianBaby name ALL the time?

[sherrardk]

One gets confused - is that the same as when somebody refers to themselves by their own name (and consequently sounds a bit bonkers)?

[humbersloop]

yes, because people don't seem to understand that using "one" used to be a polite way of referring to "you" "we" "or they" in so called polite society terms eg, one wouldn't behave in such a way as to get oneself got an asbo, would one?

One would get oneself some different mates if they're using it to mean "me" - or ask why is one so far up oneself??
