Narcissists are created either through abuse or never having their entitlement checked. They feed on creative or empathetic people through various devices. Having fallen into a well of victimization for the past few years I definitely struggle to stay in touch with my authentic altruistic self when every day has background stress on the magnitude of Fukishima. Maybe I'm learning Karmic lessons or being prepared for a future in a way God knows I can handle, but no doubt I'm not as altruistic as I used to be. At the most primal, I don't have security in my food or shelter or ability to get a stable income due to a fabricated history of violence in the courts by a corporate lawyer--non-violent felons have far more opportunity. So while I get small blessings that keep me alive, the only way I can spare a drop of energy or money to be altruistic is if I keep the spiritual rewards of giving in mind, so I give bottles of water or buy coffee for other homeless people when I can and record YouTube videos sharing what I'm learning when I can. Perhaps only a tangential contribution, but yea, that's my anecdote on being altruistic while under extreme stress. I keep the pathways warm when I can and it's irrational except on a spiritual level.
