After reading ERs manifesto, I keep asking myself if extreme narcissism is a good cope if you're already close to roping.
I mean, while ER shows abundant signs of narcissism in his videos & manifesto, he still wasn't narcissistic enough to want to continue living... he was, however, narcissistic enough to be clear that only HE should have the right to kill himself (i.e. the passages in his manifesto where he talks about having to kill himself before the cops can get to him and put him in jail - he didn't entertain the idea that he could be killed by a cop DURING the rampage, if I remember correctly).
But, if you're an extreme narcissist, you should think you're too valuable to be killed (even by yourself), right? Also, any kind of criticism should bounce off the 'bubble of gloriousness' that you created for yourself, right? Of course, it would be very hard to convince your own brain of your God-like status if you don't like yourself in the first place, but it has to be possible! ER was pretty extreme already but he still didn't manage that last step into Godhood (i.e. the absolute conviction that you must not die).
Also, extreme narcissism might give you an 'easy' way out in regards to rejection by foids or any members of society: If they can't see your magnificence they're just not worth your time and effort (i.e. they're lesser beings). It's not a healthy cope by any stretch, but quite possibly better than roping?
Can I get a cope > rope, guys?
