Narcissism (Merriam Webster's Dictionary) -
1 : EGOISM, EGOCENTRISM
2 : love of or sexual desire for one's own body
I like to think of narcissism as a love of one's own body and soul.
How much of a narcissist are you?

I can say that I'm not completely a narcissist, but I'm trying to become more of one. I think it's a good thing when not taken to the extreme of a "the world revolves around me" mentality.
-
Kiss, kiss, hug, hug,...no, me and myself are "just friends."
-
So wouldn't want to clone yourself and... lol.
-
No way! They'd both be cartoonists and that could get ugly! Hahaha
-
-
No matter how I answer that question, it'd be all about me.
-
Quit the self hating and get on with the narcissism. Repeat with me, "I am a god and everyone is my follower."

I recently discovered that sometimes I think that only me can solve some problems.
Quite narcissistic!-
Well, that's actually quite true.
-
-
No, just perfect in every way. I keep my monitor shiny so I can see myself as I write this.-
That and you've got your own face popping up all over the screen when you respond to lots of threads. Apparently, I'm more of a shoe-issist.
I think that most folks have to be at least a touch narcissistic to blog for more than a couple of months, unless they're affiliate sheep scrabbling for the pennies.

I try to think about myself as little as possible. -
Well of course. When I'm not talking to u guys,I'm primping in the mirror...
Just joshin seriously....I love myself, but enjoy others company more!!! -
Narcissism is like making love with your twin brother or sister.
gosh, thats a stupid comment Mr.Poo.
But I love you anyway Mr.Poo. Would you like to go out with me tonight. Oh yeah, I would love to, we can have some drinks and get tipsy. Uhh.. now you are getting dirty Mr. Poo. -
To want to do yourself, I think that's the ultimate compliment.
-
As I'm finishing shaving. (Unless I see a dangling nose hair - or a white hair sticking from my ear lobe.) -
I am not one at all. I would rather love your body than mine.

Narcissism is a mental health diagnosis. We should probably be careful about tossing around the label in general conversation. Who is and isn't a narcissist is a question for qualified psychiatrists to determine.

You have to be kidding me.

Nope. Dramatic overuse of words that used to mean something has a seriously negative impact on communication and frequently serves to desensitize people to the real meaning of those words so that no one takes them seriously when they count. It's a destructive practice generally engaged in by people who are more interested in drawing attention than accuracy.
-
You ever heard of healthy narcissism? We're not talking about pathological narcissism here. And quit throwing around baseless accusations. You make yourself look petty.
-
Healthy narcissism? No, I haven't heard of that--and even the simple dictionary definition you provided contradicts that concept. I'm not sure what "accusations" you're concerned with. I was speaking generally. Perhaps a narcissistic tendency to believe that everything is about you is in play?
-
There are plenty of publications that address healthy narcissism, although most are in medical journals. "Why is it always about you?: the seven deadly sins of narcissism" by Sandy Hotchkiss, James F. Masterson gives a good explanation of healthy narcissism on p.298. As far as me listing the dictionary definition, it was just for quick reference. No one-line definition can explain the intricacies of a set of psychological conditions which have not been fully hammered out by the medical community. And just because you haven't heard of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Trying to use the dictionary definition to rebut an idea (healthy narcissism) that has been created and used by the psychological community is laughable. Like I said, just because you haven't heard of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm not going to do all the research for you.
It's a destructive practice generally engaged in by people who are more interested in drawing attention than accuracy.
There's the accusation I'm talking about. It wasn't even necessary to add it, but you did. And for what reason? I can't think of anything constructive. -
"Perhaps a narcissistic tendency to believe that everything is about you is in play?"
She's making remarks that she clearly condemned against. She must be a Christian. -
NPD is a mental disorder, but the term Narcissism goes back to the Ancient Greek myth of Narcissus, the boy who fell in love with his own reflection and starved to death, and has been used throughout history to speak of people with excessive and unhealthy opinion of themselves.
-
Brought back from the dead just for that... k thanks.

maybe -
I think bloggers have Narcissist tendencies. By the very nature of having a blog.-
Not everyone blogs about themselves though.

I was reading about the symptoms of narcissism one day, and I found out that I totally fit there, at least to some extent. -
Often My Mirror Frowns, But Slowly It Has Learned, To Lie!
Narcissism! A Glorious Blend Of Stardust And Imagination! What A Pleasure..!! -
I suppose I'm a little self-obsessed. I'm not sure if that amounts to the same thing as narcissism, though. -
