Kanye West Proves He Might Be the Most Narcissistic Rapper in the Industry


#KanyeWest  #Narcissism  #KimKardashian #Religion
Kanye West was once thought of as a musical visionary. While some believe he is still a genius, these days, West supporters are becoming few and far between.
West’s new journey as a religious leader has earned a lot of criticism, from those who believe that he is not qualified to speak for the religious community. Of course, there is also the issue of West’s undeniable narcissism.
Keep reading to learn how West could possibly be the most narcissistic artist in the music business and why people could soon stop paying attention to him.

Kanye West has a history of narcissism

West rose to fame in the early 2000s, with his breakout album The College Dropout. West’s catchy rhymes and innovative rap beats endeared him to the musical community and it definitely seemed as though he had a bright future ahead of him.
West has pioneered the way for many other rappers in the industry, and combined with his business ventures, including his fashion label Yeezy, he has become a global superstar. Still, West has had a long history of problematic behavior, including what seems to be a very overblown opinion of himself.
Over the years, he has compared his music as a “cure for cancer” and called himself “the new Kurt Cobain” and “the number one human being in music.” He also believes that he is the “most impactful artist of our generation,” which is certainly a stretch of the imagination. While some fans undoubtedly agree, and he has definitely made a cultural impact, all of these are strong statements that are hard to accept.

What are Kanye West’s mental health problems?




It is possible that some of West’s self-love can be attributed to his mental issues. In 2016, West was hospitalized for an unspecified mental disorder, and in the years since, fans have learned a bit more about the battle taking place in the rapper’s head.
In 2018, West revealed that he wasn’t officially diagnosed with a mental disorder until he was 39 years old, but that he refuses to think of his condition as a disability. In fact, West calls his diagnosis a “superpower.” 
West’s bipolar disorder has caused a lot of grey area among the fan base, with some people believing that some of the more outrageous things that West says can be traced to his mental condition. Others believe that he shouldn’t get a pass for some of his more controversial statements — such as the infamous “slavery is a choice” quote that divided his fan base — regardless of what his medical status is. 

What did Kanye West say recently about himself?







The Kanye West train keeps rolling, in spite of what everyone has to say. This year, West has embarked on a new chapter, that of a religious leader.
His Sunday Service performances, combined with his new gospel album, Jesus Is King, have many people convinced that West is going to start a church. Certainly, his recent statements haven’t helped to clear any of the confusion up.
In mid-November, West visited pastor Joel Osteen’s megachurch in Houston, Texas, where he opened up about his spiritual journey and why he decided to turn his attention to gospel music. Of course, he couldn’t resist the opportunity to give himself a hearty pat on the back at the same time. In his speech, West said: “Jesus has won the victory. I told you about my arrogance and cockiness already. Now the greatest artist that God has ever created is now working for him.” 
While West is still rolling along currently, there could very well come a time in the near future when people are finally sick of Kanye West.

Coping With Moods: The Challenge of the Turbulent Mind

#Mood #Impulses #selfregulate #selfsoothe  #Triple5LightTherapy #BlackMaleTherapist #Psychotherapy The power of moods and impulses can be overwhelming, but we can learn to self-regulate and self-soothe through awareness practices like meditation and mindfulness. By developing a healthy dialogue with our emotional nature, we can access deeper parts of ourselves and become more resilient in the face of stress and pressure. Rather than being swept away by our ever-shifting moods, we can learn to pause and reflect before acting. by Gillian McCann, Ph.D., and Gitte Bechsgaard, RP

Psychologists Have Created A League Table Of Scary And Revolting Animals Phobias

#Psychology #MentalHealth #Phobias #Animalphobias #Spider #Snake #Dog You may be best advised not to read this article late at night or before you eat. Psychologists at the National Institute of Mental Health and Charles University in the Czech Republic have surveyed a large sample of non-clinical volunteers to gauge their reaction to 24 creatures that are commonly the source of specific animals phobias. The results, published in the British Journal of Psychology, contribute to our understanding of animal phobias and could prove incredibly useful to horror writers. Among the key findings is that spiders were unique in being both intensely fear- and disgust-inducing in equal measure. The researchers said this may be due to their mix of disgusting properties – including their “quirky ‘too-many-legs’ body plan” – combined with the fact they are “…omnipresent in our homes, often lurking in the hidden dark places and capable of fast unpredictable movement.” In other words, the intense ...

The Price of Perfection

#Perfection #CopingStrategies #Mindfulness #AllorNothingThinking #Catastrophizing, Broadly speaking, perfectionism is a personality style where people set exceptionally high standards for themselves in order to achieve perfection. However, the motive behind perfectionism is not the achievement of perfection, but rather, the avoidance of failure. More simply speaking, perfectionism is really a type of anxiety. Anxiety is adaptive and evolutionarily speaking, protects us from danger. In cavemen days, anxiety helped our ancestors flee from predators. However, in modern days, rarely do we need to flee from predators. Consequently, maladaptive anxiety is increasingly common and acts as a faulty alarm system- alerting us to danger as if there were a predator chasing us when actually we are not in real danger. In regards to perfectionism, those with this type of anxiety are so afraid to fail, they go to great lengths to avoid the possibility of failure. Underneath, an alarm system is g...

Kate Bush's "50 Words for Snow"

  #50WordsforSnow #KateBush #RunningUpThatHill From up on that hill, perhaps wearing a capelet over a flowy Victorian gown, Kate Bush has been regarded as a spirit saint of fearless individuality by a generation of musicians such as Björk and Tori Amos as well as younger mystics-in-training such as Florence Welch, Leslie Feist and Bat for Lashes. All that adoration in the ether must’ve stirred the reclusive British singer-songwriter to create not just one album this year — “Director’s Cut,” a reinterpretation of songs from “The Sensual World” and “The Red Shoes” — but also a second one, “50 Words for Snow,” an art-song cycle that veers from delicate to blustery but always with a sheen of elegance.  Bush grounds her songs in the permafrost of winter, with her piano work sounding like the first stirrings after a cold snap. “Among Angels” could be the soundtrack for plants stretching toward the new spring sun, but as much as it’s connected to the natural world, the s...
