Narcissist? :wacky:

If so, please share the reasons why you were classified as such.

In my case, ever since I started attending GYM a month ago I've become obsessed with my appearance. I remember that my mother said...."Watch out or you'll end up being a narcissist..."
 
Nope. My appearance is very low on the list. Though I do take care of myself, shower, and try to look presentable, I couldn't care less about making it perfect.
 
No not really.
But then I couldn't care less if people did call me that. I know I'm not a narcissist, and that's good enough for me.
 
A narcissist, no. But I am a little vain. :wacky:

Besides personal hygiene, I think I go a little over-board about myself the rest of the day. I don't like having my hair messy or an oily face. And I can't take it when I see some part of me with dirt.

I wouldn't say that's narcissism though. :gasp:
 
I've never been called a narcissist,but I am always concerned with how I look. I usually get bent out of shape if something doesn't look right to me. (Although it's always in the comfort of my own bathroom and when Im putting on makeup.)

I do strive to look good and want to have a nice body,but most of the time in my personal opinion I don't think I succeed. My husband has to hear alot about all of this,which he just shakes his head and says "Baby you are perfect". I only wish. ;p
 
Being concerned with how you look isn't being narcissistic. Loving your own self, obsessing over yourself and basicially being a egotistical prick with a pride so big it could feed the whole of Africa is what narcissism really is.

And yes, I have been called one. By myself. And I assume it very proudly, like any ol' narcissist would do.
 
I haven't, hence the reason I just had to look the word up. :awesome:

I like to make a casual, clean appearance but I don't go overboard and very rarely ever talk about myself in such a way people think I love myself. I'll get out of bed and brush/straighten my hair and put on clothes. I'd just rather look decent then like a tramp. :monster:

The same thing happened to me when I first really started going to the gym about 5 years ago. I got quite cut and starting wearing singlets all the time:monster:
I then kinda grew out of it and worked a bit more on mass. Narcissism can be positive if you are only a tad narcissistic, because then it's just self confidence.
 
Nope. I admit, sometimes I can't be arsed with my appearance, especially when I'm at home, although like Coco, I like to take care of how I present myself to others. It's not like I'd always be in front of the mirror half the day - heck, whenever I put make-up on, the process takes me 10 minutes in total. I used to watch my aunts put their make-ups on that would last for over 30 minutes. I can't do that. So yes, while I do take care of my appearance most of the time, I'm not obsessed with myself.

^Exactly

The answers in this thread are all over the map. I'm not sure how Julius's mother used it when she commented on his behavior, but the word means a person who is egotistical, self-obsessed, vain, conceited, etc. It has a very negative connotation when used and it has nothing to do with the clothes a person wears or if their hair is a bit sloppy in the morning. The word actually comes from a character in Greek Mythology about a queer who drown in a pond because he fell in while staring at his own reflection.

Anyhow, I digress... I suppose. Yea, of course I've been called narcissistic. I haven't heard it as much as I've gotten older but typically I hear it whenever I rant about general idiocy (see above). The only reason I don't get called it more often is probably because, as you people have displayed, most people are too grammatically-challenged to use the word correctly. >.>
 
No not really. I mean I'm pretty much like Mitsuki and Coco on this. I don't really care about my appearance when I'm at home with just Dave and Logan. However when I know I'm going to be around other people, or I'm going to work or going out, I do like to make a good impression. Typically I just fix my hair nice and put a little bit of makeup on and I'm satisfied. I don't get overly concerned with how I look unless I'm modeling or going to a shoot that day. Then I'll admit I do get a bit worried, but nowhere near overly obsessed with my appearance.
 
Well howbeit I haven't been called Narcissist in a while (which is good) I have been now deemed "His Arrogantnessness" (joke of His Highness). Matters not actually, for it all is an Ego Booster for me which actually inspires me to push myself even further beyond my limits. About my mother calling me narcissist, well she said she was joking when I asked her later.

Same case here man, same here :smartass:

Over Competitive? Yes. Arrogant? Sometimes. Narcissist? Nah, besides my ex called me like that and she didn't even knew the fecking definition >__>

Of course, my ex gf and I are like Cats and Dogs....fight whenever there's a chance.
 
never. not me ever. why did it happen to you?
Can you please put more effort into your posts in the future. Thank you. =]

No, but I think all people are to some extent, even if they deny it. Our perception of ourselves is usually much more appealing than reality, and who can blame us?

That being said, I usually think a lot about my appearance, though sometimes I don't. Depends on whether there's a pretty girl or something in the vicinity. :P

Just...kidding. >.>
 
I've been called narcissistic a few times. I generally try really hard with my appearance, particularly my hair, I spazz if my hair's messy >< And, I do have self-centered moments, where I obsess over the littlest thing and just talk about it all the time.

I think I've gotten better at the whole self-obsessed thing. Generally now, I will stop myself if I think I'm talking about myself too much ><
 
Not that I know of, if I go out or something, I want to look at least presentable and not like some tramp that has wandered off the street.

I've never been one for caring how I look. I've been a tad overweight for a long long time and I've just been content with it. But now that I'm starting to lose the weight, I'm taking more notice of how I look and I think I'm slowly starting to worry about it more.

I've never been called it, but I sometimes feel that I'm going that way very slowly.
