Have you tangled with a narcissist, or been accuseeed of being a narcissist ?
Do you know you are ? Pretty sure I'm just a little in the spectrum, but I know it and control it. We all have bigarexia, so we have the potential. ..
Naw, actually like to think I’m pretty humble. Also very cynical because I know how shitty people can be. I just keep my distance and do my own thing….I’ve dealt with narcissistic individuals before, and they are truly sickening… human parasites…

I think that’s what most narcissistic people would say
I remember reading Arnold Schwarzenegger saying in his early days that if you have it there’s no need to show it off. When I started weightlifting in eighth grade yeah, I tended to wear my sleeves over my biceps. But soon learned just to be comfortable and not show it off because people can see that. But I love weight lifting and having bigger than average muscles, or as my girlfriend says, muchels
Which is everyone on this planet.Damaged is probably a better word for most
Which is everyone on this planet.
Not narcissists, they’re perfect ….
Narcissistic traits at times? Sure
But, overall, and I think it applies to many guys on the forum, is that we love the process of changing, improving, enhancing our bodies. Our bodies are our life vehicle, it's how we deal with the world and the world sees us. When I see overweight people, or flat bodied men who do nothing for physical self improvement, or just generally unhealthy people, I can't imagine ever being like that. I just can't.
But, here is a scenario to show you are not a narcissist just because you love working out and looking good:
To be a narcissist requires other people that you are around; for your narcissistic traits to be shown/used. You can only be a true narcissist in a population.
Scenario: If you were stuck on an island, with all food, lodging, everything you need to survive. You also have the most amazing gym ever as well at your disposal. Even though there was no one else on the island, just you, forever alone....guess what?? Majority of the fuckers here would still be working out like madmen. I know I would....even though there would be no one to impress. Point being, at the end of day, we slave in the gym because WE LOVE IT.
(***okay, you can have your wife or gf or hot chick with you and she is already impressed with you***)
See my point?
