Pathological narcissism is a breakdown in relating to and managing internal objects.
Dissonance: internal objects have a life of their own and yet are “owned” and constitute the mind (selfobjects).
When the organizing internal object, the Self, is disrupted, the internal objects never fully become selfobjects. This creates huge anxiety and exerts disintegrative centripetal forces.
The inner experience of internal objects: narcissist as external observer (the only way to simulate existence and experience it).
This engenders estrangement and, in conditions of stress and tension, dissociation (esp. depersonalization and derealization).
Anticipating behaviors and real-life impacts of internal objects (magical thinking where anticipation is causation).
