Echoism: The Opposite of Narcissism?
Echoism is a term used to describe a personality trait or pattern of behavior characterised by a tendency to minimise one's own needs, desires, and opinions while focusing excessively on the needs and desires of others. It is often seen as the opposite or counterpart to narcissism.
This term "echoism" was coined by Dr. Craig Malkin, who proposed that echoism represents the opposite end of the spectrum from narcissism. While narcissism involves an excessive focus on oneself and a need for admiration, echoism involves an excessive focus on others and a lack of assertiveness or self-identity.
Common traits include low assertiveness, poor boundaries and always putting the needs of others first.
Dr Malkin is the author of 'Rethinking Narcissism', and provides more information on echoism on his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@UC9X9sdn_4JtZxqIoGA9Xnkg
