Narcissistic personality disorder - one of several types of personality disorders - is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism. That sums up Gene Simmons perfectly I think.
oh how right you are.
you forgot he is a wanker too.
I can understand your explanation. But I also think the man just has no filter. I don't think it's an disorder, just disagree with you.
He give's a lot to charity, the thing he never brags about. His point of view about sexes mayby not liked by left wing-rainbow-Karen's, but who cares really!? It's HIS point of view. I'm really getting tired(dare to say many people with me) of those rainbow-types bragging about eqeality and stuf.
Don't get me wrong. Equality is good. Jokes en points of view differ.
Lets keep it loose with one another.
Couldn’t agree more, utterly 🤮 disgusting
Sorry, but in my opinion you are cutting him too much slack.
If he really does have a personality disorder, je needs to get it treated because otherwise he just remains an obnoxious and arrogant jerk.
@@micheladonofrio2285 Alison Scurr's accurate summary of NPD, and its (in my view, correct) application to Simmons is not "cutting him too much slack". Far from it: we need to know when we're dealing with people like this, not for reasons of sympathy, but to protect ourselves from them. And it's important to remember that a personality disorder is not a mental illness (despite there being overlapping factors too complex to go into here).
I'm a psychotherapist and I work with many victims of 'narcs'. A non-clinical description of most narcs - and sociopaths, and psychopaths - is cruel, manipulative bastards who don't know how to love, and who you should avoid or leave or escape, at all costs.
I should also disclose that a pathological narcissist tried to destroy my career and reputation. It was a devastating experience that plunged me into severe depression. In other words, I have a personal stake in this, not 'only' a professional one. The 'overlapping factors' in this case are that I have developed a finely attuned radar for spotting narcs, and I hope this amplifies my compassion for their victims.
Whatever circumstances that shaped the 'narcissist-in-waiting' child, and however much we might sympathise with that child, all narcs are poisonous.
I would add that this interview/therapy session is an exception that proves the rule. Therapists rarely encounter pathological narcissists in the therapy room, for the obvious reason that they don't think there's anything 'wrong' with them. You can guess what I'm going to say next. This is a celebrity narc being invited to talk to a celebrity psychologist, so of course he accepted the invitation!
P.S. Pamela is great.
i love this video. love how they are almost fighting to dominate the convo. and she doesn’t back down. she knows her power. he is all talk
I love when he started coming onto her how she encouraged him to keep going 😂 He made such a complete ass of himself.
How messed up can a man be when he believes he understands women better than they understand themselves.
thank you for picking up on this, good to see other men are repulsed as much as I am!
he confronted his bully - but in turn became somewhat of his own bully - takes it to another level - wow
The fact that he refused to take his glasses off shows that he was really afraid of what that interview might bring out of him, he was afraid to be vulerable and show his vulnerability to the world, which might change his image of a rockstar. This was very interesting and entertaining. I loved the fact that Dr Conolly could read him like a book.
She immediately took it to -
I’d like to talk about the first time that you felt powerless.
What a sad mess he is and doesn't know. How brave of Pamell to even talk with him.
I completely agree. It couldn't have been easy for her to interview him.
Pamela was all Grace and dignity. He didn’t rattle her one bit as he is accustomed to doing. He is the epitome of arrogance, without an ounce of humility. Pamela Connolly is all class and she held herself beautifully. What I wouldn’t give to see The Big Yin deliver a right uppercut to this sanctimonious, ego maniac..
not wrong he's beyond insecure and it shows.
Well said, I was thinking the very same.
Perception is strange isn't it. I thought Pamela was presumptuous in assuming who and what Gene was about and quietly aggressive with her questions and summations.
Me too!
She's at her very best here. Outstanding.
Haha this was surprisingly funny. It came across a bit like "and tonight on America's Biggest Psychopaths..." Prison interview :D
If Gene Simmons had not been a musician in a Rock and Roll band, he would make a great cosmetic surgeon. When he approaches women their skin begins to crawl.
"If there's an opening I'd like to make a stiff proposition"
........ "I'd like to talk about your father" 😂😂😂😂
LMAO
😂😂😂😂oh my god. You’ll know that we’re only making him worse though. The humiliation from this is going to drive him into a deeper “Alpha” state
Mummy issues... it’s always mummy issues...
He definitely has the Asian male attitude and culture in him and has turned out just like his father.
What an excellent therapist she is!!!!
I too am a child of a survivor, therefore, this really resonated with me. P..
The Connolly Family has a personal relationship with the Simmons family, the "alpha male" he presents in this interview is exactly the way both of the people shown wanted to present.
Billy Connolly has nothing to worry about because gene simmons would not put the motion in Pamela’s ocean
Wow, thanks! Interesting time capsule.
Unfortunately for Mr Simmons (and me), I've seen him in action. He looked like a lumbering ol' ruttin' dawg.
Oh my God, do tell
Please upload all the Shrink Rap episodes, I have a family member who is a psychotherapist and I find this fascinating. The way he speaks about women compared to Tony Curtis is remarkable. He cant see women as independent beings, they are only important and validated if they are looked upon by a man, its incredible. His mother both suffocated and abandoned him at the same time, (its called spousifying what she did to him) his first sexual experience was an older woman overpowering him, so he is so insecure in his masculinity he has to endlessly prove himself by undermining women sexually and emotionally, he made himself look a fool. I cant believe anyone would go to bed with this man.
Only have this one because it's KISS related sorry.
pamela did a great job. He is do arrogant
I remember watching this interview with my wife back when it aired. He's such a narsst. Pamela Connolly is amazingly patient with him.
Geezz this lady is GOOD! She should work on ACE FREHLEY 🤣
That interview was interesting but uncomfortable to watch. I find Mr Simmons way more sinister than sexy.
I find him rather repulsive and disturbing actually. And the whole act just sad.
@@agnieszkawalczuk5835 I agree
@@agnieszkawalczuk5835
omg.
He presents himself as a thoroughly obnoxious individual. And clueless of, or avoiding his actual victimhood. To defend himself he's made himself into a caricature of a pre-stone age caveman, a comic book persona. His secret is that he doesn't know how to be a man. As you say, repulsive, disturbing and with an cobbled together act that is both very sad and ludicrous at the same time.
Meanwhile, Dr Stephenson is a brilliant professional psychologist. (Who knows full well that her husband is at home roaring with laughter at this guy!)
What a slimy character lol.
Wow. Pamela is certainly skilled, perhaps gifted. Simmons was honest as expected. But he was also mors candid than I expected, having seen countless interviews and conversations with him.
Very interesting ❤️
He can’t stand the idea That, after asserting to her that everything has to be on his terms, She was able to, On her own terms,, discern exactly what causes him to be the way that he is. No matter how dark his sunglasses are, He cannot hide from her. She sees right into him.
He was rude, arrogant, obnoxious and disrespectful to Pamela and Billy Connolly in this interview.
It is surprising that with an ego that size he can walk through the door.
Man this is the depest Gene Simmons Interview
Wow, what an unbelievable sad person, this Chaim/ Gene! And way too much ego for no reason at all.....
Is it just me or is Pamela a little aggressive here?
It's not just you but she isn't instigating. Remember when Simmons says it's not alright to bully but you must not let anyone push you around and later discusses his father's emasculation? She is challenging him because that earns his respect and candor.
Do you have Sharons?
For the inside info on Gene Simmons you need to read Sharon Osbourne.
I was a Kiss fan once. I went to a concert and at one point the audience wasn't apparently reacting to Gene as he wanted and he literally came to the front of the stage , and the band became instantly silent. Gene was offended by the audience's inaction or lack of reaction to his theatrics. He literally insulted the whole audience. I was no longer a fan of Gene Simmons. His demeanor here in the interview explains a lot and that is that he has always been insecure and portrays a false bravado by spouting what he believes to be intelligence. This was both sad and disturbing. The fact that he has achieved great financial success in his endeavors has not resulted in a happy, secure man.
And wow, yea you are affronted much
There is something very, very wrong with this guy
He’s a psychopath
Why? Are u jealous of his wealth and success?
19:03, he's tony Clifton, but I prefer clifton
33:40 i farkin died
i wonder what he would of said to someone who didnt feel any sexual drive what so ever?
what a toxic and immature man talking to a healthy and emotionally mature woman
Are his intrusive actions triggering his mothers violence never mentioned because he was a kid or because he can never be responsible for doing anything wrong?
She didnt like him at all. You could tell from her eyes.
Pamela was great, Gene was being Gene. He was honest, but you feel as though he will always have to have the upper hand in any situation and to me that’s a bit scary. Someone always needing to have some type of control without letting the control die naturally. He generalised a bit too much for my liking, but he’s done good in his life overall I would say.
He didn't have the upper hand with her in any way. She handled him like a surgeon.
It was funny
He is so much less complex than he thinks he is. He hides behind his sunglasses in a feeble attempt at concealing all of his true nature, insecurities, and vulnerabilities, and yet by that very action, they are all amplified. He can’t stand how easy it is to figure him out. Because he has such a lack of self-awareness he can’t believe that someone else can see him since he’s never seen it. He thinks they must be wrong. lol.
When was this filmed? All that I have seen from him after marrying Shannon Tweed, he was absolutely open, and occasionally truthful to a fault. Not remotely like this!
Yet he spoke about problems with Ace and others openly over drugs way back in the early 80's. Geraldo, possibly.
Think it's 2008, had a few things on VHS to digitise and this was one of them.
He Would have had to of Killed he's, Own Guitarist Ace, cos' he took drugs for years,,
This is funny but it is diffley serious
very damaged still, rich but !!!
But it's serious
Little. Funny but serious
Gene Simmons very much changed now. He was going through something with his wife during this time. And because of his past
Geezus Pamela, talk about putting words into someone’s mouth 🙄
If you need to explain what Alpha male traits are...... your not an Alpha 😂
Thanks for the explanation.
Yeah, it just means you want to be seen as an alpha.
Gene isnt messed up at all from my perspective, he is totally frank about his life, he has learnt well from some very harsh experiences and from that he is an amazing survivor. It's easy to judge him or anyone else when you havent lived his life or walked in their shoes. Quite frankly I find his ideas about women interesting...being an older woman I can totally agree with him about when a man chooses the woman he wants to spend his life with and that they love and adore their partners....I have this with my partner of 24 years and I often say that I wish I could clone him for millions of women so that they could feel the love that I experience everyday. Pamela was often too insensitive and too direct for my liking......that's why it often felt uncomfortable. Gene is a strong minded man with strong beliefs which all come from his experiences of life. I found it refreshing to listen to him unfold his story. If Pamela would stop and listen more to the people she interviews instead of cutting them off it would be a more supportive interview. Thanks for posting, watched 4/1/2021 UK
I do agree with somethings you’ve said Pamela does cut people off which is annoying. I think he does have control issues, he’s a nice guy I’d like to think. Not taking the sunglasses off is a bit rude, but people will only show you what they want too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
You pretty much took the words out of my mouth Terri.
Viewed January 2022
do you think it is fair that Gene invites Pamela to ty his tongue because Billy Connolly is inept?
of course you do.
I ADORE THIS MAN- HIS HONESTY!!!! HE LOVES HIS MOTHER!!!! SMART HEAD FOR BUSINESS!!! HE SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!
If mansplaining took human form 😂
Biasness
I couldnt listen to the full interview....he is so annoying.....
That was a great battle. I think that it was a draw.
Nah, she'd already won when, like a scared little kid, he wouldn't come out from behind his sunglasses shield.
I give him credit…. Right on Gene 👊👊👊
For what, perpetually trying to bulldoze people because he is a scared and hurt little boy? The fact that he always wears sunglasses says it all.
I think some people take Gene Simmons a little too seriously.By wearing his sunglasses he showed a fair bit of vulnerability.He no doubt forecast that Pamela was going ask about his early painful childhood experiences and didn't want to turn the interview into crying session.
I thought at times Pamela Stephenson morphed into some of her Not the Nine o'clock characters she used to mimic at some of her turn of phrases.
"without going for the humour of it - a stiff proposition" - "hard" to tell if every word has d'oo'ble - is Pam offended or just holding back on laughs at that point?
I laughed at that point - then I felt guilty for laughing.
Seems to me that the brutal honesty that Mr S expresses about the animal in us ALL, is v uncomfortable for even the most learned & educated of psychos. Understanding the animal = 'ology. Unraveling the animal = impossible 'therapy. Fascinating battle lines drawn between ologists & therapists. "you've got to have an ology" - Lipman
'animals ARE' learn and live with it
or
animals are, mostly, but can be re-trained not to be so animal
tricky!
😕😷💩
This ladys obsession with his sunglasses is unbecoming... Let the Rock-'n'-roll star speak.
He's A good Man
Gene won!
Genes a cock
Gene loves his mummy. He really, REALLY loves his mummy.
No he didn"t. He exposed himself as a mummy's boy and a horrible cowardly narcisstic pig of a man.
They are friends, that’s why he did the interview
It wasn’t a competition. It was a conversation. He lost the upperhand several times. I would argue he never had the upper hand. He isn’t open enough to the idea that he doesn’t know everything about himself. The generalizations that he made were just crazy sounding because he’s talking about all men as if they’re him! He can’t see Past his own nose
