- HOW TO ADDRESS NARCISSISM in culture: goes deeper than we think -&nbsp;✨✨ Only The Young’ 🎶 🔥 - this political protest song by Taylor Swift 🇺🇸 addressed to Donald Trump (written January 2020), is all the more relevant if not more dire and desperate today.&nbsp;She needs to write a new song. I’m sure one is in train already. It was most controversial at the time, and Taylor faced a lot of push back from both family members and her managing team — when she decided and announced using her influence in this way. ✨✨ This should be 💯 celebrated and encouraged.&nbsp;✨✨ As a mother and mentor to young teens - I am HUGE on encouraging young people to Develop their DISCERNMENT, and be 💯 FEARLESS in their instincts to speak up or say or do something — when what they see and observe is fundamentaltally NOT RIGHT.&nbsp;✨✨ We need to help cultivate this inner-integrity and Self-honesty, specially in the face of widespread, culturally ingrained “tall-poppy-syndrome” 🙅‍♀️ - which is everywhere, but particularly heavy in some cultures as it is in Australia 🇦🇺, NZ 🇳🇿 the UK 🇬🇧 in particular, as (amusingly) recognized by Wikipedia.—- [EXTRACT]Here's a more detailed explanation of what TALL-POPPY-SYNDROME is, courtesy of Wikipedia:&nbsp;Origin and Meaning:The term "tall poppy syndrome" emerged in the 1980s in Australia and New Zealand, referring to the societal tendency to discourage or criticize individuals who achieve significant success or stand out (or speak out) from the average.&nbsp;💣 Characteristics:💣 Resentment and Envy: Successful individuals may face envy from others who feel threatened or diminished by their achievements.&nbsp;💣 Criticism and Undermining: High achievers might be criticized more harshly and unfairly, and efforts might be made to undermine their success.&nbsp;💣 Negative Behaviors: This can involve ignoring, excluding, mocking, or bullying high-achieving individuals.&nbsp;💥 Examples:💥 A colleague might try to discredit a coworker's successful project proposal.&nbsp;💥 A manager might publicly criticize a high-performing employee's ideas.&nbsp;💥 A group might ostracize a member who is perceived as "too successful".&nbsp;💥 Colleagues can collectively take down a person speaking openly about unfair circumstances or practices in the workplace.🩸 Consequences:Detrimental to Individuals: Tall Poppy Syndrome can negatively impact the mental health, well-being, and performance of successful individuals.&nbsp;Harmful to Organizations: It can create a toxic ☠️ work environment, stifle innovation, and discourage individuals from striving for excellence.&nbsp;✍🏼 The Tallest Poppy Study:Women of Influence – conducted a study in 2023 that revealed that Tall Poppy Syndrome is a significant issue in workplaces around the world, particularly for women, and the results are detrimental to women and the organizations within which they work.&nbsp;——👧🏻 👦🏽 🧒&nbsp;Unfortunately not isolated in adult work places, culturally this is taught by osmosis to OUR young/ children in classrooms and via social interaction.&nbsp;CLEARLY UNHEALTHY ☠️ (and technically ⭐️ IDIOTIC 🤢 TOXIC BEHAVIOUR) on both the level of individual mental health, and in any working environment — it is VERY IMPORTANT to now apply a CIRCUIT BREAKER 💥 —&nbsp;✨✨✨ 🌱 We need to teach our children/ young people [and teach/ allow our own Selves!] — NOT to second guess what our instincts, ❤️ hearts, and intuition NUDGE us to Do, to Speak 🗣️ openly about,&nbsp; to Take Action on — to the best of our resources and capacity.&nbsp;—-Back to 🇺🇸 Taylor - the background on this admirable fearless decision is documented in “Miss Americana” on Netflix. Worth watching and showing young people (girls) for them to learn from and be inspired by ✨✨ — to take a bold stand, even at the risk of career or identity suicide, and/ or tribal ostracism. 👊🏻Lisi Tribble thank you 🙏🏻… In the process of writing this, I realized that this “tall-poppy-syndrome” is in fact — Shadow Narcissism in culture and society.&nbsp;A Narcissist is a soul/ light that has never been allowed to Spark.&nbsp;And hence, as perpetual energy vampires — the narcissist’s behaviour is characterized with needing to snuff out another’s Light 💡 = this archetype NEEDS to bring another person down, in order to bump-up their own wounded worth/ wounded inability to Spark.&nbsp;Which is = CULTURAL (toxic) BULLYING. 🙅‍♀️Normalised, accepted (RIDICULOUSLY FOUND ACCEPTABLE!) and condoned by institutions, parents, and society/ as “just how things are”.It is idiotic to tolerate or be part of such behaviour.&nbsp;I say, “NO”. Enough.This is fundamentally DAMAGING, and UNACCEPTABLE.&nbsp;TO PARENTS: 🛑 If you earnestly love your own children, and desire a good future for them when you are no longer here as a parent === you would not tolerate this.&nbsp;NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND, would/ should tolerate this.&nbsp;🇺🇸 HIGHLY relevant today, as we face a Narcissist voted-in and legitimized as a leader — which has had the impact of empowering and validating narcissism and narcissists all over the world 🌎.It’s important for each of us to weigh in.&nbsp;Y’all. If one is in front of you, say “No”, and shut it down.This is unacceptable.&nbsp;We need to take a stand not to tolerate or BREED IT, any further than we have to.&nbsp;These days I’ve personally had enough of it/ zero to no tolerance for it —- so much so if it plays in front of me - the person / any of those involved, WILL lose their head/s. They are guaranteed to be called out. 🔥&nbsp;🙏🏻✨❤️Nic Anderson © Copyright 2025<img src="blob:https://www.r52.network/eadca2bb-4a26-434c-8a23-a3b407273f54" draggable="true" style="position: relative; left: 0pt; top: 0pt; width: 451.3pt; height: 433.7pt;">
