Title: Narcissism Defined Post by: Anonymous on October 09, 2011, 04:10:47 PM I love myself unconditionally; faults and all. This is not narcissism. It's called a healthy self-esteem.
A true narcissist brings down others to build his self-worth. That is not who I am. Title: Re: Narcissism Defined Post by: genjix on October 09, 2011, 04:22:32 PM tl;dr

Quote Today, in psychology, narcissistic personality disorder is a mental illness characterized by a lack of empathy, a willingness to exploit others, and an inflated sense of self-importance. In popular discourse, "narcissism" is a widely-used term for a range of selfish behaviors. Cultural critics including Christopher Lasch have applied the term "narcissism" more generally to contemporary American culture. Some experts believe a disproportionate number of pathological narcissists are at work in the most influential reaches of society, such as medicine, finance, and politics. Clearly, we've made a mistake. Nothing more to read here. Next thread started by Atlas in 3...2...
