This stereotype probably comes from [[Elliot Rodger]]'s vlogs, who appeared extremely [[narcissism|narcissistic]]. However, another spree killer who attributed his killings to not getting laid: [[George Sodini]] was hyper-modest. Obviously, trying to [[broadbrush]] people who cannot get laid in this way is not even internally consistent. | This stereotype probably comes from [[Elliot Rodger]]'s vlogs, who appeared extremely [[narcissism|narcissistic]].

The degree of genuine [[narcissism]] shown by [[Elliot Rodger]] is rare in the incel forums, and it is often born from isolation and part of a broader inability to socially integrate. Most of the United States ranks high in [[narcissism]], but most incels aren't much more [[narcissism|narcissistic]] than the average person in the USA. Many incel forum members rate extremely not-narcissistic according to threads where forum members took the NPD test online. Those who are particularly narcissistic may use it as a [[coping mechanism]] for having no one else to love. | The degree of genuine [[narcissism]] shown by [[Elliot Rodger]] is rare in the incel forums, and it is often born from isolation and part of a broader inability to socially integrate.
