TEN SIGNS YOU'RE A NARCISSIST (#5 WILL SHOCK YOU!)

1. You love yourself.

Now, you may not know this consciously, because everyone has their flaws and you may have said “I hate myself” at one point in your life, but when you love yourself, it becomes a part of you. You smile in the mirror. You are proud of what you are, of the features pasted on your skin and sewed into your bones. There are days when you wake up feeling like God him/herself descended from the Heavens to kiss you as you sleep. Your hair is perfect. Your face has no blemishes. Your body is a temple and you are just so darn beautiful you don’t know what to do with yourself anymore. Of course, this doesn’t apply on all days. But the love yourself thing – yeah. 


2. And because you love yourself and you’re the best thing to ever grace this God-forsaken planet, you think you’re better than most people.

This isn’t a fact you tell people, of course. You keep it in. There is a gnarly grin hidden inside you at every show of weakness that isn’t from you. Maybe you act upon this superiority, maybe you don’t. But you just know that you’re better.






3. This might not apply to everyone, but narcissists talk to themselves.

I mean, I do. In my head or out loud, whatever. I talk to myself like it’s a prayer to the gods, because let’s face it, I am God. Whether it’s my daily running commentary on how I don’t deserve to be treated like this or my Youtuber-esque narration of big, life-changing things that happened to me, talking to yourself about yourself is a sure sign you’re a narcissist. And also somewhat crazy. But remember: there is a fine line between crazy and genius.







4. You don’t like it when someone seems better.

Pretty self-explanatory. This can cause a lot of self-deprecation. Narcissists are complex creatures.












5. You unconsciously bring others down because of this.

This may not be as shocking as the title says, and I’m sorry. Actually, I’m not. I sucked you in, didn’t I?











6. You literally live off other people.

Like a parasite sucking the life out of an innocent creature, narcissists lurk around every corner in their shining glory, waiting patiently for their prey. Their life source? Compliments. Ego-boosters. Validation. Affirmation that they really are better than everyone else. To non-narcissists, beware. Your compliment might just be the kick that pushes them off the edge. Narcissists eat that shit up like a succubus.





7. You’re selfish.

Face it. If it doesn’t concern you, it doesn’t exist. Helping others? Having empathy? Can’t relate. 













8. Listen, the sun can go fuck itself. The world revolves around you.

9. And when there are moments when people don’t act like they revolve around you, you become that one Marina and the Diamonds tweet: Shocked and appalled.

10. Like a narcissist talking about themselves, this list can go on and on. Now, if you think you’re a narcissist or have narcissistic tendencies, remember: this is not something to be proud of. Being a narcissist means there is no one else but you – and that’s dangerous. You should learn that you’re not the only person on this world. Love people other than yourself.
