Pandemic-era children show altered brain responses to facial expressions, with a reduced neural response to happy faces. One possible explanation is that happy expressions may have decreased during the pandemic, due to both mask-wearing and the emotional toll experienced by caregivers.

Pathological Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Excerpts:
“Normal expressions of narcissism may contribute to self-esteem and well-being by increasing an individual’s sense of personal agency (Oldham & Morris 1995). For example, normal narcissism supports asserting interpersonal dominance (Brown & Zeigler-Hill 2004), fueling approach and achievement motives such as competitive and mastery strivings while lowering avoidance motivation (Foster & Trimm 2008, Lukowitsky et al. 2007, Wallace et al. 2009).”
“Consistent with Akhtar’s (2003) and Dickinson & Pincus’s (2003) description of narcissistic vulnerability, Ronningstam’s shy narcissists deal with self-esteem dysregulation by engaging in grandiose fantasy while also feeling intense shame regarding their needs and ambition. The dominant affect problem for shy narcissists is shame rather than envy or aggression, and they avoid interpersonal relationships because of hypersensitivity to rejection and criticism.”
“DSM NPD criteria, items on various self-reports, interviews, and rating instruments assessing pathological narcissism, and most certainly clinical conceptualizations of all forms of personality pathology include a mix of overt elements (behaviors, expressed attitudes and emotions) and covert experiences (cognitions, private feelings, motives, needs) (e.g., McGlashan et al. 2005).
Our clinical experience with narcissistic patients indicates they virtually always exhibit both covert and overt grandiosity and covert and overt vulnerability. Prior assertions linking vulnerable hypersensitivity with covert narcissism are clinically inaccurate.”

Length of your fingers—specifically the ratio between your index and ring fingers—may predict how much alcohol you consume. Students with longer ring fingers compared to index fingers tended to drink more, especially men. These finger ratios are thought to reflect hormone levels in the womb.
