What Is Narcissism?


The accusation of a man of narcissism has become one of the greatest and most widespread insults of our time.
Narcissism is the description that we tend to stick to the person who looks arrogant and boastful and confident,
Or person who is very satisfied with its existence. However, it is possible to ask:
Does the word really suit the arrogant and stoic characters we used to describe as narcissism?
And the most important question: do we really understand – and so treat it well –
The origins of the hated behaviors that we mean by narcissism? Lies behind our excessive use of the term
The implicit theory of human nature is: People aspire to excessive attention by others,
They develop and tend to glamor while feeling in-depth
I love unusual for themselves. High appreciation of self,
With strong pride in everything they represent and do, is the origin of man’s inclination
To talk about their personal achievements and try to get the admiration of outsiders.
But a deeper look shows that he deliberately evokes admiration and review as a peacock
It can not be derived from an ideal sense of self-love.
Those whom we call vain narcissists can not think of themselves in a good way,
Boast and boast because they are unable to find a way to feel self-sufficient.
They are terrified of the possibility of being invisible and normal.
The behaviors we associate with narcissism, hypocrisy, greed and lying,
Not signs of self-love, but evidence of a serious and unfortunate absence of self-love.
Let us remember the Greek myth from which the term was derived. Narsis was a hunter from Central Greece,
He is the son of the god of the river (Sivisos) and the nymph (Leriopi). Narsis had an attractive long hair,
Deep blue eyes, and a chunky lips.
One day, Narcisse, walking with a pond of stagnant water, hinted at the reflection of his image on the water. He did not distinguish himself,
The photo was stolen from him because he did not see in his life someone who was as captivated as he had seen him.
He could not prevent himself from falling in deep love with himself, which he considered
The most captivating creature in his life. This myth makes narcissism look silly and laughable.
And make us lose sight of the benefits that man – from an early stage –
Under the tutelage of friendly educators, to love himself without reservation,
That the human being can strangle and sing and feel comfortable and is on the nature,
That man rejoice for a limited time with the wonders of his existence.
Thus, a positive narcissism, in which one loves himself, can be a prerequisite
To love anyone else. Most of the world’s problems were because people did not like themselves!
People who can not believe in their values ​​internally! Those who grow up with sharp hatred and a sense of shame about themselves,
They can not now stop claiming their right to the attention they have previously been deprived of!
The man who despises himself deeply is the only one who can accept the idea:
To make fun of his life to prove his worth to others, to strangers to him completely!
On the contrary, those who are self-interested and value are those who do not feel an urgent need to flatter.
They are reassured and satisfied simply by their simple presence.
We must be careful to build a world that does not contain a few lovers for themselves, but a world that contains many of them!
A world richer in what we can call “health narcissism”.
We will be humble and influential to others, we will be interested and listening to others, we will be happy to abandon the cheap formalities and obsession,
Only when we have the opportunity to hope for our reflection for a while and we are convinced that it is a beautiful reflection,
A beautiful reflection to the point where we come out into the world and spread kindness and altruism generously to the people around us.
