The raised by narcissists sub has 750k subscribers. Reddit has ~500m monthly active users. That's 0.15% of reddit. If 0.1% of people actually are raised by narcissists, that is an accurate number.... 750k people in a single place is a LOT, but it might still be representative. so yeas, it seems like there is an "epidemic" but it's more about "if all the people raised by narcissists were to be grouped in a single place it would be a lot of people". That's just a testament to how the internet brings groups of people together.
If you had a great childhood with great parents. Good for you. Not everyone has. and I don't think that 0.1% of reddit is some sort of epidemic.
- bjornsing 5y agoIt’s estimated that 0.5% to 5% of the US population has NPD, so I don’t see why it would be the least bit unexpected that 0.15% think they had a narcissistic parent.
