In pop psychology, gaslighting is explained as arising from extreme [[narcissism|selfishness born from low self esteem]], known in psychiatry as a variant of narcissistic personality disorder. Certain prominent incels have had fathers with narcissistic personality disorder. For example, Elliot Rodger's father implied on ABC that Elliot may have commited his murder due to jealously of his fathers "good looks". Selfish or vain parents may play a role in the lack of [[confidence]] seen in incels, but this has yet to be studied. The admin of [[Braincels.org]] cites himself as a victim of a selfish/exploitative/grandiose father. | In pop psychology, gaslighting is explained as arising from extreme [[narcissism|selfishness born from low self esteem]], known in psychiatry as a variant of narcissistic personality disorder.
