Medical Minute: Narcissistic Stare

Here’s an interesting video a loyal reader just sent me. It was filmed the other day during a Trey Songz promo stop at 100.3 The Beat in Philly.
Ladies, study the above picture of Trey Songz well. This is what many in the psych field refer to as a Narcissistic Stare.
Trey Songz is a narcissist who is used to people around him stroking his enormous, yet fragile ego. He became incensed when the DJ told him he wasn’t feeling his reality show.
This news should not have come as a surprise to Trey since his show was a ratings disaster for BET.
But what I want you to watch is the transformation that comes over Trey’s face as it suddenly dawns on him that someone in the room isn’t awestruck by his fake charm.
Watch as Trey ceases whatever he was doing to focus intently on the enemy in the room who dares to criticize him.
Anyone who has ever dealt with a narcissist will recognize the Narcissistic Stare. It is unmistakable and it is one of the hallmarks of narcissism. Another hallmark is the narcissist’s inability to take constructive criticism in any shape or form.
You can almost see the horns growing out of Trey’s scalp as he struggles with his inability to handle criticism.
Pat Finley of the Controlling Selfish Men blog explains the Narcissistic Stare better than I can:
The narcissistic stare has been experienced by many of us who have had the misfortune to associate with Ns [Narcissists]. Presumably, not every N does The Stare but from all reports, a significant majority does. The N’s stare is piercing, unwavering, reptilian. Seemingly flattering, this stare is unnerving – and is meant to be unnerving.
The Ns look right through you. A woman who is not familiar with Ns might think he is simply paying complete and rapt attention to her but he is not. The Ns are staring at you to see how vulnerable you are. Some believe that the Ns use their stare to look through you to your soul for the sole purpose of determining whether you are viable prey or not.
Once you are in a relationship with an N, they stare at you in order to control you. Their withering glare is meant to cow you into submission. It is a strong woman indeed who does not back down under the malevolent narcissistic stare.

QTIPIE
so where are you at now
Well in them shoes even walking is a skill alone but can you dance in them too?
Surely you jest!
@Heaven
Your Jay Z response is waiting for you k-but after you read it pls understand that I don’t have to see it your way and it’s time let it GO!
I can’t listen to it at work, but I did watch in in antcipation of seeing what a “Narcissistic Stare” looks like. Instead he roped me in. A lot of times I’ve seen people avoid eye contact during interviews. He is looking at the person that is talking to him whenever he isn’t writing. That is VERY cool in my book and not a stare at all. Miss Sandra are you one of those people that can’t look folks in the eye?
In Treys defense he was prolly feeling the no love from the DJ when he walked in the room I went to the drs this am and three sisters are the receptionist them bishes faced turned all up when they saw me and I’m like since when do you enter a drs office where there is a reception and the bish act like she don’t wanna speak fine by me cuz I can be BYTCH TOO!
This is what many in the psych field refer to as a Narcissistic Stare.
———–
Damn…I wish the DJ hadda kept coming at him. I bet Trey woulda abruptly ended the interview…punk azz..
and what is that stare on Oprah’s face called?

Okay, okay…what kind of things interests you? Martin Luther King’s Memorial site, The Underground shopping downtown, most exciting mall Lenox, most posh mall Phipps, strip clubs, gay clubs, party clubs, older or younger crowd? Six Flags, White Water Park, Botanical Gardens, I could go on all day.
Oh yeah, “Church Girls” play is going on until Sep 26th
My folks, will be like where is New Burf and where did Bishop Long get those muscle shirts?
Poor Trey, I feel more attracted to him since people are being mean to him. I have this thing where the more someone is put down the more I feel bad for them (unless they are a heinous criminal of course, LOL). Maybe he was just listening intently to what the DJ was saying and his opinion. If he was not looking at him then he would be accused of being a narcissist who doesn’t make eye contact with “the little people”, LOL.

I hate effn POSERS!
@Mirs on my way
“I don’t want everybody to like me, I want everybody to know who I am” – Trey
“I’m not gonna be somebody I’m not just for you to like me” – Trey

Sandra!!!! I have not comments…cause the comedy is all in post!!!!!
FLUCKING HILL-LAR-RE-US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nobody and I mean nobody can come behind that with they best SR shyt
DARKALICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha! I don’t know about the NS Stare but he was super pissed after ‘ole boy told him his show was garbage. That da** show WAS garbage for various reasons. I don’t know one person that was checking for that ish.
AND he sounds retarded saying he doesn’t want everyone to like him. Of course you do. EVERYONE wants everyone to like them. The fact is that most people realize that everyone isn’t going to like them and they come to terms with that. However, in a perfect worle EVERYONE wants to be liked/loved.
Trey’s last album was a banger but as a person I can’t say the same. He always comes across as super fake to me even when he’s saying he’s trying to be so real.
LMFAO….And I haven’t even seen the footage yet….cuz I already know its comedy at its fINEST!! DAMN U SANDRA
@Free please verify which Honey, cause you know how we are.

Umh no he wasn’t. I though I was the only person to notice that. He was saying “holistically” when I think he meant to say “wholeheartedly”
Public Service Announcement: When you can’t think of the correct word to use or how to use it in a sentence, just go for a basic/regular, everyday term. It makes you look even more ignorant when you use “holistically” instead of “wholeheartedly” which are two very diffrent words with two very different meanings. Geez
DARKALICIOUS I WAS SHOWIN THE SHOES!
besides who still wears panties!
so now I’m startin to thin you aint my Darkalicious no mo!

@Mama
I’m not mad but when I kindly tell ppl once or twice to keep it movin and yall wanna keep comin at me yeah it’s a normal thing for me to curse a mofo out with the quickness we are who we are!
lol at those horns on his head. I didn;t agree with the dj though, I personally thought the show was over edited. Who wants to see a whole tv show of nothing and that was what that show was about, much of nothing. So the DJ should have been more honest and said “Trey why did you edit out all of the drama, it’s real TV right?”
There is no place like SR.com! Lord hammercy. You get everything from comedy, drama, and insight. Ya’ll are too much (said in a friendly way, of course).
@bird do u mind telling me how you got your tickets to the BEt hip hop awards?

I know Auntie got jokes but am I the only sucka that actually Googled this shyt?
(It’s okay if I am. The only stupid questions are those that go unasked.)

OMG I was thinking the SAME thing!
I get a cocky vibe from Trey…and sugarhoneyicedtea don’t like that baby
c o c k y ^^^^^
LOL. Sandra you are crazy. Are you and ur people going to NBMC sunday to heckle eddie long?
Trey’s stare; I know it too well. He was probably just so shocked that the guy would say that to him. Usually you’re cordial to the guest. Trey, you must know ur audience. In this case, you must know if the DJ’s/host are brutal or kissass.
after watching the clip, Trey’s still not ready. He was visibly bothered by the guy’s comment and it changed the tone of the entire interview from that point forward. “i dont want everybody to like me.” huh? wtf? yeah you do. now the reality is everybody will not like you, but in life we dont consume ourselves with making everyone like us. unauthentic. I CAN’T.
I think it was earlier this week or last when I went on record (yeah, i’m that important) and said I’m losing my attraction to trey songz. Trey still sings about sex like he got it for the first time yesterday. He aint on no usher, rkelly level yet and he’s what, on cd number 5?
He doesn’t set trends and he’s not a machine. A trendsetter or machine could never have a failed reality show. A failed reality show meant nobody was interested in him or that show. When the repeats come on folks turn to infomercials. No trey, ur not a machine or trendsetter.

Exactly. Most people would have laughed it off. But Trey showed his true colors in that interview. Narcissists can be very charming people until you criticize them. Then they fall apart. They’re not like normal human beings who can handle criticism and keep it moving. Narcissists see criticism as a serious threat to their well being. Like something close to death.
