[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are any of the parents concerned with the profound narcissism involved in this process? Encouraging such self-absorption cannot portend good things for adulthood. [/quote]

1. This isn’t narcissism. Narcissism has a very specific definition and this isn’t it.

2. It is developmental appropriate for teenagers to go through a period of self-absorption. There are some great prentice books on keeping a balance between letting them go through this phase of self-discovery and keeping them focused enough on what’s going on around them so they can remember they aren’t the center of the world.

3. Saying “okay you’re non-binary, cool!” Isn’t encouraging self-absorption. I’m sure there are weirdo parents who bring up issues of gender and sexuality to their kids and who low-key encourage them to be something different, and that is just wrong. If your kid comes out to you and you just accept them, that’s not really encouraging them to do anything, much less encouraging them to be narcissistic. [/quote]
