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.

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 integrate socially. Most of the United States ranks high in [[narcissism]], but there is no evidence that incels are much more [[narcissism|narcissistic]] than the average person in the USA.  Those who are particularly narcissistic may use it as a [[coping mechanism]] for having no one else to love.
