Are there (proportionately) more narcissists now than before...or is it more a function of awareness/education about what constitutes narcissism?

Unfortunately, I'm painfully aware of what narcissism is all about...having recently realized that my spouse of many years is probably one. Prior to that (and hearing many people refer to Trump as a narcissist), I just don't recall hearing all that much about narcissism.

If I understand narcissism correctly, it's probably difficult to statistically determine whether or not it's more prevalent now (since most of them are not trying to be discovered and/or seek any kind of "treatment"?)...but it got me thinking that maybe there have been societal changes in the last couple centuries that have resulted in a higher incidence of narcissism. Have you, professionally, noticed any trend?

Thank you for doing this AMA.

Despite the quirkiness, the author has quite the way with words to describe the attraction to (and nostalgia for) vinyl. Best wishes with your store!

Have you read the book Music Shop? I thought it was a tad quirky and somewhat drawn out, but it's about a guy who had a record store and held fast to only selling vinyls...and all he went through to try to keep it going.
