Are there any risks with giving oneself narcissism?My current self-image is completely delusional, but in the direction of seeing myself as irrationally inferior to everybody, so I've been thinking of inverting my perspective.>People who dislike me just fear me.>I have a bigger cock than 99% of "accomplished" people.>That woman who said it's not gonna work just before I brought her to my apartment owes me at least one handjob for every dinner date I took her on. >I shouldn't listen to people who can't bench press more than me.>One day I'll inevitably be the fat boomer wearing speedos at the beach catcalling teenage girls, so why wait until then before losing my sense of shame?The world seems to bend itself around insecure but self-aggrandising people at the same time as it fucks timid people in the ass.What do I lose with this?
>>34273016>What do I lose with this?Humility, patience, compassion, good will and your connection with reality. Why not just be rational and solve your low self esteem in a way that doesn't rely on delusions?
>>3427301649% of people are smarter than the average person. However, 'pride goeth before a fall' as the good book says. Intelligence doesn't protect you from ignorance.
>>34273016I think self-aggrandizing is good but needs to be tempered with an understanding on how the world works. For example, your thought>>That woman who said it's not gonna work just before I brought her to my apartment owes me at least one handjob for every dinner date I took her on.Is not how the world works and will lead to you becoming entitled whenever you reach a modicum of success. The same attitude can be accomplished with a more tempered > woman who said it’s not going to work just before I brought her to my apartment are the ones missing out, maybe she has some strange hang ups about relationships or intimacy she needs to sort throughHere you still aren’t treating yourself as a punching bag while staying grounded in expectations.
