Referring to oneself in the third person can be a symptom of identity confusion or identity alteration, a subset or trait of dissociation. In ancient times, it was referred to as demonic possession.
Self-objectification is also a trait of narcissism, perhaps because narcissists love and feel empowered by (possession of) objects. And what better object for a narcissist to love than themselves, objectified? Other traits associated with narcissism are bragging, attention-seeking, delusions of grandeur, etc. In modern times, I believe it is sometimes referred to as being a bore. -- Mary -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Micheal Cottingham Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 10:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Fwd: Let's outlaw mass security conferencespamming its fucking gay Am I the only one who is getting annoyed by n3td3v speaking in the third-person like he's an entity, rather than a single person?
