Is it normal to admire narcissists?

So is it? I don't know why but whenever someone is obnoxious and completely self absorbed it makes me grin ear to ear and think "What a great human being"

No I'm not kidding. I think it's great that people see themselves in such a good light. But what do you think?

Please be honest. Don't say narcissists are evil just to gain the approval of your peers. I have no respect for people like that.

    Well, having confidence is one thing, but narcissism is another.

    I guess since I'm as arrogant as they come, I don't like narcissists.. I feel I'm better than them because they are so self-absorbed with themselves. In a way I am a hypocrite ;)

    It's normal, but you shouldn't refer to us (narcissists) as "obnoxious and completely self-absorbed"! We aren't in the least bit obnoxious, and if we were completely self-absorbed we wouldn't have time to do all the cool things that you so admire us for.

    Take me, for example - I'm intelligent, good looking and extremely talented. I have travelled extensively, I speak several languages, I'm rich, and people like me. This because, until right now, I've never rubbed this in anyone else's face - but nor have I ever felt a twinge of guilt for being so great and living my life so fully.

    I feel a bit sorry for you, though - it would be so easy for you to join us, and be an equally great human being! Try reading Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand.

    Well done for putting that fool darren in his place, by the way - saved me the bother. I do hope lots more people comment on this post soon - I could do with a laugh!

      You're not a narcissist, you want to be one though, it's easy to notice.

      If you've never "rubbed it in someones face before" then you obviously aren't a narcissist, narcissism doesn't just develop at a certain age.

      "It would be easy for you to join us" narcissists would never admit that people can "join them" in their ranks, especially not easily.

      You're arrogant. Yes, narcissists can be called arrogant but in this case, you're not a narcissist, you're just simply arrogant.

      Also, if you were a narcissist, you would believe everything you explained yourself to be. You would of filled your profile with information about you as if people want to see it and you would want to post a picture of yourself to show off how good looking you are in the merchandice you bought with all your so called riches.

      Typical self proclaimed narcissist. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic and easily proven wrong.

        Ouch! So we have different definitions of what constitutes Narcissism, clearly. I bet you get real edgy whenever you find something you can't label...

    It has just come to light that my husband appears narcissistic. I personally don't think it's a good thing when they are in a relationship. I've been manipulated lied to used for his own gains because I was whisked of my feet by him then once we married and had our son the mask went down. Trust me it's not nice being married to one especially when they led you to believe they were something they wasn't.

    Read again. I said that I have no respect for people who say those things for the APPROVAL OF OTHERS.

    The rest of your comment is undiscernable.I have no idea what you're trying to say.

      Well I always admired the riddler(villain from batman). He is clearly suffering from Narcissistic personality disorder. I think its more the flash and intelligence I like though.

      He always puts on a good show. I like performing personality sets. They are always very interesting. Though I always found the unstable and dysfunctional very interesting to be around. Insanity creates some very interesting characters.

      I myself am not very flashy but despite that I always seem to garner a lot of attention everywhere I go. Be it bad or good admiration I always create a big scene. Often viewed as a trouble maker even though trouble is never really the intention.

    Some narcissists think too much of themselves, it can be a bad thing sometimes. I mean if not kept in check, it can develop into a severe god-like complex problem and cause a lot of disturbances if the person is told no to whatever they are asking.

    Narcissism is a double edged sword but I think it's more bad than good.

    Some of the smartest people i know are narcassists, and a lot of them are kinda easy going. The best leaders in history were usually batshit crazy narcassists. People love to hate on them but no one can usually knock what they've accomplished.

        -Sigh-
        Just because narcissists have loving themselves as "one" trait doesn't mean that the "one" trait makes you a narcissist. Narcissists have more than just one trait; loving themselves is one of them but not all of them.
        If you go to someone in the mental health area of the workforce, they will tell you that just loving yourself isn't enough to diagnose someone as a narcissist.

        Dictionaries have a very small description of the words they are explaining. To think that a dictionary can go into depth and explain everything about a personality dissorder such as narcissism is just...Well, it's just not the smartest things to do.

        Take it from someone that has studied narcissism, simply just loving yourself doesn't make you a narcissist.

    If I didn't love me, nobody would. Narcissism is a self-defense mechanism.

    I think being full of yourself to an extent is perfectly fine. People don't give a fuck about anyone now a days. Someone has to like you right?

    So let me get this straight. You have no respect for people who don't like narcissists, but respect the narcissist?

    And you want to know if that belief system is normal? Really? And about 40% of the people on this site find it normal? This is why the rest of the world hates us. Idiots.
