I am a narcisstic arab man

Obviously, since you recognize these things in yourself, you realize that you aren't acting the way you really want to - in order to live your life to fullest, happiest extent that you could be.
You're just like all of us humans, imperfect and struggling for happiness. Take things slow, and realize more about yourself. Alot of your emotional issues probably have alot to do with how you were raised (at least mine definately do).

PS: I'm sure your son does not hope you will die, I'm sure he loves his dad and couldn't imagine him actually being gone.

I don't care whether you're Arab or anything else, if at your age you're still blaming your upbringing for your personality it's about time you did something about it.

If you hadn't put your age and there were no other clues to it, I would've thought you were a teenager.

If you're so unhappy about how you are, change it - never too late and I'll bet your family would love to see some changes

I joined this community after reading this post. I have long wondered about Arab men being perceived as narcissists. I think it is cultural and the fact you are upset about it and want to talk is good. I have long wondered about the rage I see in someone who is Arab and nonmuslim that i care about. Please keep this conversation going!

Like every other Arab man then?

Are you serious or just someone trying to make fun of arab stereotypes?

Well, if you'e serious and you're bothered by your attitude and behavior, talk to a psychologist about it maybe.

If you're aware there is something wrong with your behavior, you're not completely crazy if that's any consolation. If you can improve your behavior, I don't think it's necessary to punish you with terrible illness. Some people might disagree with me, but I think the only reason punishment is necessary is to stop bad behavior, but if you realize something is wrong and make an effort to fix it, you don't deserve punishment so much. It is important to improve yourself, though. It's always important for everyone to try to improve themselves. Try not to worry so much about what other people think of you. self esteem should come from within, not from what other people say or think. Also, try not to control your family too much if you can help it. just try to chill out and don't worry so much. too much stress is bad for you.

also, it's not wrong to be introverted. It's a perfectly normal variation of human personality.

I don't think you're too narcissistic if you are capable of criticizing your own flaws and want to improve them.

My father is Egyptian. U r exactly like him

I hear many things, cultural in nature, but not exactly narcicistic. You want to remain true to your culture and religion. Nothing wrong with that. That is called character, my friend

screw you man im arab too

you are seriously paranoid

wow sounds like your very self aware but not in a good way i wouldn't say narrisistic that more like having an ego the size of 2 continents but you seem to have some what of a concious

lol,

yeah YOUR DAD is a wally, lol

65yr old Arab man: "... waaaaaaa~aaaaaay" lol

You've a lot of headfuck psycho-text language going on. I think if you buy too much into that you can make yourself problems. Just do some mindless stuff every week -- excercise like swimming, but intense -- or maybe meditation except maybe you'd just keep thinking..

Man at 65 youre asking this? well at least you realise that something is wrong so you can take the necessary steps to change it.

I'd like to say you aren't normal but I think, unfortunately, it is normal within the Arab culture. You should read the book Princess. Maybe it will help you see what an asshole you are and how terrible it is for you and others to treat the women in your lives the way you do. I also hope you drop dead unless you change your ways.

dude your a fucking dumbass. Your not narcissist you just have whats called a self-image, you know a basic component of the human psyche? You probably don't notice your own mistakes because your a conservative arab, muslim, so i'm guessing you are stubborn and thick headed. You think you're the only person who thinks about what others think of them? You're fucking mistaken my good man.

it's an arab thing. i got an arab family. somehow, my mother and i are the only non-arabs in my family. i never understood it either.

lol dude go parachutin but dont bring the parachute with u best way to die

I am the typical manly narcissistic man, who thinks about the IMAGE more than I think about the person , like my 28 year old son who still lives with us goes clubbing and with friends ,he comes at 3 am in the morning and I stay awake,then argue with him when he comes..why he came that late . My other son, doesn't have a life (part of me is happy about that, so I wouldn't have to worry when he gets out of the house or get jelous because he has a life and I
m 60 something and don't )I don%%u2019t pray and I'm
not as religious , so why is it a problem for my 28 year old adult son to stay out late till this hour.I don't wear a turban. I don't have alot of friends , I only have 2 or 3 who I see very very rarely, so I'm not like other men who have friends with his wife and wbo bring thier friends home for fun. I am introverted,paranoed,narcisstic,negative,very observative.I was only a banker(Employee),so I couldn't bring my wife expensive things like almost everyone I know does.I am retired now (and very weird that I think highly of myself),even though my wife is the one who brings money to the family , and cooks, and see what I need, what my mother need , what my sons need,if aby should get the credit, it would have to be my wife , not me.

One question. Do you wear a turban?

Well I happen to have microsopic observations of the enviroment I'm in , especially my sons . When I'm SO ANGRY I CRUSH THEM WITH WORDS that are SO BITTER , like I tell them stuff and (they probably will put what is said in one ear and out of the other ...) , but I know deep down that I myself have MANY ISSUES ,like the things I tell my sons are mostly the things people should tell me !.

walllah ya amellam tawellballek take it easy try to make it right and enchulla good things will come latizall

Well I believe your story is real , and I guess you are one asshole , who have hell lots of problems , help yourself.
