Can I be a great writer like Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton and Joyce if I'm a narcissist?

If so, who are some great writers who were narcissists?

>> No.16888641

Redpill: all of them

you have to be a narcissist to be a good writer

>> No.16889246

If you actually are a narcissist you will have already convinced yourself that you can do the things only great people can do. That's why they're called delusions of grandeur.

Chaucer wasn't even the best.
Also Joyce was shite.

You're right, I have convinced myself. I just wanted affirmation.

yeah this, a narcissist will just end up producing something that sucks himself off. People with empathy problems don't produce good art, whether they're sociopaths like Ayn Rand, narcissists like Onision or aspies like Chris Chan.

Nabokov. Read Strong Opinions, he was really full of himself but not without reason.

Thank you, Anon. Although I'm a narcissist, I can still appreciate a good fren (although I'll seethe irrationally if you criticize me in the slightest way).

Why though? Because if I say 'yes you can do it' you'll just say 'of course', and if I say something like >>16889263 you will just ignore it because I'm not worthy of your galaxy brain or something.
