Narcissists of /fa/, how did you accept that you'll never be perfect?

Generally I compare myself to others. Everytime I meet someone who mog me in one feature (like someone more handsome, or with more money), I move the comparison to another field. Like, yeah this guy is more handsome but I have way more charisma, or yeah he's rich but I could beat the shit out of him in 1vs1. I'm conscious that this is absolute cope but that's the only way to not fuck up my ego

no one is perfect, and there will always be someone better at something than me, and someone better than them at that same thing. J for me i always think "well it could be worse...". there's plenty of people in much worse conditions than me

A lifetime of being second best/runner up/top5/top10 - there's always someone better than me but I'm still good. That's how i cope

This is horrifying because when I was younger I used to do that with women in the room (femanon)

Christ jesus I'm glad I stopped that

This, practically my whole life revolves around acquiring perfection eventually, my studies, my life goals, everything I pick is designed to be as perfect as possible.

You ever meet someone who is better than you in every way? Most people I meet, usually have better lives than me, but my narcissism protects my ego from acknowledging this.

But once I met a guy, a Hungarian dude who was some executive or high level manager or something, for Toyota. He was better looking than me, talked better than me, had better skin, and so on. I could only manage to cope. We were both manlets though. But whats such a great guy doing at a dingy afterhours at 5 am sniffing coke?

Nothing’s perfect, nothing will or ever was or will be perfect, the flaws were just well hidden.

I haven't accepted it. I'm handsome, talented, my personality is getting better and I'm pretty much my ideal version of myself in every way except that i'm fucking broke.

If I had money, i'd be my own idea of perfect, but I don't. I haven't accepted it, I spend my time pissed off and fantasizing about winning the lottery and or harming wealthy teenagers.

It sucks too, because I was born wealthy but my family lost everything in the 08 crash, followed by a car accident that cost my mom over a million in medical bills, plus hurricane sandy destroying our beach house out on long island NY. I was 18 when that shit went down and went from being a sheltered rich kid to homeless, flat broke, and on my own.

Now i've worked my way up to lower middle class, but i'm fucking pissed that I didn't get to finish college, and i'm fucking pissed that i'll never be able to explore one of my biggest interests (JDM cars), and i'm fucking pissed that I had to move away from NY where all of my friends are, and i'm fucking pissed that I work a shitty manual labor job, and i'm fucking pissed that i work harder than at least 50% of this country's population just to make 15% of what they make, just to have enough to afford to pay rent/internet/phone/car insurance on my shitty hyundai accent just so I can continue to go to work and be fucking lower middle class, paycheck to paycheck poor, with no real hopes of ever escaping it short of winning the lottery.

It's awful to have everything in your life suggest that adulthood is going to be a fantastic time for you, where you become a professional, have that sportscar you always wanted, live in the nice apartment and eventually buy a house. But then when the time comes you literally have to work your way up from nothing, and with no education to tell employers that "hey, this is a smart and capable person".

You are a strong person and I don't give a fuck how much money you have I respect you for persevering through all of the bullshit life has thrown at you. Many others would have given up.
