That's a tough one, because a true narcissist will disregard anyone else's input anyway. Look at the witch in Snow White; rather than accept the reality check her mirror gave her, she resorted to (attempted) murder.
First you have to get it. How did you?Quote:

I have looked it up and it is suggesting that it is egotism/pride/selfisheness?
stab the painting.
i think it's being obsessed with other people's perception of you.Quote:

Just be aware of the present, and try to be positive and good to people around as much as possible, and to oneself. I suppose a good counter-balance would be humility and/or sincerity; but genuine qualities of that nature require a lot of self-understanding, I believe, and understanding of others.
i agree. i've found that people who do yoga and are in general willing to reflect on themselves end up being less narcissistic.
it's almost like the cause of narcissism is not being willing to confront reality to an extent, but then again, i suppose that's true of most mental disorders and/or philosophical constructs.
Yes, an excellent idea.Quote:

Narcissists don't, won't and can't communicate openly about emotional subjects. They live in a cocoon impervious to emotional inputs or, rather, they transform them into something unrecognisable.Quote:

then what to overcome ? me personally love myself .nd the reason what i have to give is that i love myself because i'm confident enough who i'm.

No. It's never a remedy. But it's good not to gloss over your own faults. Everyone is bad at something.Quote:
