i think narcissists don't need any confirming that they are powerful people. i think the people who you are talking about are just anyone with a bad day who wants an ego boost

>> No.4542981

Anyone worth knowing is at least a little narcissistic. If they're truly an interesting person, they themselves will have picked up on how interesting they are, and there will be an element, however small, of self-promotion to their personality.

Just don't overdo it, fuckwit. Look at the person across the train from you, on the other side of the highway, and recognize that they have merit as an individual. Realize that every single person is interesting in their own way.

It's fine to be just a little conceited, particularly if you think you are interesting. But don't go overboard. And if you're at all intelligent, you WILL know when you've gone overboard.

Goodness people are taking OPs statement out of context.

I think he's just referring to narcissism as a concept/a trait, not particularly in its psychological aspect.

Don't be a smug shit and assume that bending the context of a word is being right, it just makes you look silly.

Narcissistic personalities dont degrade others, they built themselves up. They have an innate overappreciation of themselves, it is not deliberate. Thats why its a condition.

>Narcissistic personalities dont degrade others, they built themselves up. They have an innate overappreciation of themselves, it is not deliberate. Thats why its a condition.

both of you have painted over simplified pictures of the story. there are narcissists who'll only talk themselves up, but there are others who will put people down too (like gaslighting (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting)) is a pretty common thing among narcissists). if you were only showing the former behaviour, there's actually very little chance you'd receive a diagnosis, as an over-inflated self-confidence, in of itself, is rarely detrimental.

Well in any society those people exist. I am not one of those people, but consider how we all go through phases, some may change and grow up out of the lust for power stage. It is uncommon, but some people are able to not succumb to the lust of money and influence.

It is situational. There is a threshold of being nice where you are being nice and then you are allowing people to step on you and they are not the same thing. While i may try to be nice to a bad person or act kindly towards them, i am still going to not help or work with them on their shitty attitudes and i will make it known in a light form that I do not approve of their behavior without being offensive. If they are offended, tell them that they offended you and that you are only trying to fix the situation, but that they are uncoperative.

Some of those bad people are not even worth the time, but it is not the right to be an asshole.

>> No.4543360

>>4543289


be 'nice' without acting nice (nice is really the wrong word i think, and certainly not equivalent with righteous or virtuous).

youve got ideas on whats good or not right? how stuff should be better and how things ought to be done? then cleave too it. if you cant imagine yourself walking up to a girl (even better, a girl you know) and saying 'that dress looks terrible', for instance, youve probably got a ways to go. in short, supplication breeds contempt.

>but what if *i* dont even think im right.

well then its even more important to get yourself stuck into something, how else will you get better without the feedback of challenge?

of course, i acknowledge their observations on biomechanics but as you can see i dont think the implications or applications are limited to just picking up chicks, nor do i think its simply 'amoral' instrumentality. alot of scientific studies on behavioral dynamics are preempted by ancient wisdom on building and living virtuously.

You really just have to take what you want, while still being friendly

If you want shotgun and someone else calls it, pull him outof the seat and take it. This kind of thing isn't something everyone can do, or applicable to every situation, but you'd be surprised what people will learn to put up with with when you take what you want
It's pretty self evident, really; to get what you want, you take it

Girls are something I'm still learning. I'm attractive, but like Orvid says, you can't rely on your looks
When it comes to girls I think it just takes patience with an overarching persistence. Show her that you want her while expressing you're just as fine not having her

Just try to put some thought into what you believe in and who you want to be, and stick to your own set of principles.

If you don't give a damn about your fellow man, then that's fine, but don't go around pretending to yourself that you do while at the same time expoloiting and manipulating him.
