Do you worry about being a narcissit?
I watched a video about narcissism, it was about what is love and what is narcissism, and i just dont understand it. I have a view on what is narcissism like but maybe thats just the extreme side of it. But everytime i see a video like this it makes me spin that i might be one, cause i got told by someone after a fight online, and i been told by one psychotherapist that i have signs. I questioned it cause i felt really bad about it but as i heard actual narcissistic people do not care or they ignore it. What's wrong with wanting attention sometimes? Or that you want to be better than others? That's the point of competition, i understand it can be harmful but its normal that we sometimes want competition. And the exemples they bring up are things that you can put on anyone. Like you got hurt so much and you did not got enough attention so you now want it, so you are a narcissist. Its normal that if you have pain or you didnt got attention, you want it... saying its narcissism puts more shame on people. This was one problem for me too, i had ocd problems, noone understood it or made me understand it so i desperetely wanted someone to help me. Its normal, why we put shame on that. Its not good cause you make yourself feel worse if youre desperate, but you are not a bad person... And other things, when you get played by many people, and you feel like you dont get respect, and you put yourself first, and basically now what you need will be first for you and what those other people wants will be second, they call you narcissistic for that... you realize you didnt respected yourself enough and you had put so much energy on what others says, and now you just ignore them and when they say bad things about you and you just wont care cause you had enough, you are a narcissist... or I do something and i forget or i wont care about how i make others feel cause im fed up on always wanting to be okay to others and actually you cant be good for everyone, and then you do it and maybe it turns out bad, then you are a narcissit cause you dont care about how others feel... Ive got told by others back when i was asking for reassurance so much that im a narcissist cause i dont care how others feel...(cause i made them angry). Can we just not put that weight on it? It just really makes me bad that im being called a narcissist when im mentally dealing with something that i dont know the solution yet and i want attention and help cause im scared that something is wrong with me... every exemple i wrote down here can be told about everyone...for me narcissism its not that, and saying people have "sings" of narcissism, it just makes you feel like you are one. Okay it can happen that in certain sitiuations you act like one but gow people describe those situations are really basic, like it happens to everyone.
