I think the way I think is better than most people.
I disregard emotion because it's irrelevant.
I pride myself on doing things other people find difficult.
I think in black-and-white terms.
I like to solve problems.
I like to be direct and be spoken to directly.
I dislike vagueness.
I eat the same food every day because I know it's good for me.
I'm physically active because I know it's good for me.
I like routine because it's more efficient and streamlines my life.
Does anyone else think that they are superior to neurotypical people and if so how so?
Yes but it hasn't served me well at all at times #Carnage #Narcissism
Hi Allyboo
Please explain in more detail.
I see now I've had narcissism problems in my past for various reasons e.g. conditioning imo. Hopefully I'm now less narcissistic than I have been. It has hindered not helped my life experience as contributed to me being more disconnected than connected to my self/Self and therefore others I think, sadly (like Fetohep describes below). Two books I'm glad I have about this subject are The Culture of Narcissism by Christopher Lasch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Culture_of_Narcissism and Narcissism: Denial of the True Self by Alexander Lowen https://www.amazon.co.uk/Narcissism-Denial-True-Alexander-Lowen/dp/0743255437 which make a lot of sense to me #Aloofness
Mother Gothel was legit triggering. But that film did give me a good easy thing to point at to explain "this is what my abuser was like".
I don't know, that's for us all to potentially individually explore if we want and choose to imo.
I just want to say that acting narcissistic and being a narcissist are different things. Anyone could act narcissistic (like thinking they are very handsome or better at something than others) and that comes along with its own problems but being a true narcissist (npd) is awful. My dad is a narcissist and has given me and my family a lot of trauma growing up. It bothers me that media will portray narcissism as if its kind of funny almost (like Gaston looking at his reflection) but it has gotten better with characters like Mother Gothel. Anyway this isnt directed to anybody, I just wanted to say that.
