ESD: Are You A Narcissist?
ESD, you are really a very pathetic soul. I have been analysing your writings over the last while. I have to admit, I actually feel sorry you. It appears from your reactions to comments that really should not impact on you personally, that you suffer from an inferiority disorder. You know that you will never measure up to your peers so it makes you happy to try to discredit others. It does not make you a better person to behave the way you do. You also display the characteristics of a narcissist. I presume that you are relatively young, so sadly you possibly have a long time to live with this nasty condition. As we all know there isn't a cure for this, however the good news is that there is treatment for this nasty condition.

    While it is important for an individual to have a high self-esteem in order to fulfill his or her goal, it is also important to know one’s weaknesses and respect the capabilities of others. Jean Twenge demonstrates this idea in her essay,“An Army of One: Me,” and shows how having high self-esteem without a solid basis for it can lead to children who feel superior to others. In contrast to the egotistical people illustrated in Twenge’s essay, in his essay, “Wisdom,” Robert Thurman discusses how the process of reaching enlightenment is difficult, but once achieved leads to a compassionate life where an individual can feel empathy with others. Subsequently, in her essay, “Selections from Reading Lolita in Tehran,” Azar Nafisi focuses on teaching…

    However as Zamperini points out; “The difference between recognition and attention is self esteem.”(Zamperini 21) Do people seek attention or recognition? The key lies in whether the individual has self esteem, whether or not they feel worthy of positive attention. One can break the detrimental cycle of self loathing “through hard work and accomplishments” (21) as Zamperini notes. Everyone deserves the sense of bliss that accompanies high self-esteem, they just might have to work for…

    So many people I know lack ambition, wisdom, and the strong desire to overcome the adversities they face and solemnly share with me and the public. I encounter and am told these personal moral dilemmas so much so that it feels as if I have been given a gift, that is of course that I am the one told, however, I feel cursed by my own disparities and troublesome childhood I was dealt, my empathy because of this is boundless, making myself one to listen and guide, I always guide.I want to judge and criticize, mock, and hate but i think of the old money way and Nick Carroway begins to muse me “Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve…

    Psychological Egoism insouciantly means the only outcome individuals are capable of desiring and or pursuing is ultimately in his own self-interest. Psychological Egoism can be perceived as reason to Wesley Autrey’s actions on the subway tracks, while contrastingly, the perceived notation that Autrey’s actions were altruistic could be a plausible assumption. I will provide a thorough explanation of Psychological Egoism. Further more I will provide argument to the motivation of Autrey’s actions from the views of both a Psychological Egoist and a non-psychological-egoist. Finally I will argue my point of view that Aultrey’s actions are altruistic.…

    People are faced with many obstacles ranging from education to relationships with other people. Some relationships with certain people may cause one to feel as if they are not important, potentially leading someone to the point where they ask their selves “Am I good enough?” In “Me talk pretty one day” by David Sedaris, he explains his past experiences from moving to France and having a discouraging teacher who belittles him on the way that he talks. In a second article inside The Toronto Star titled “Death by anti-social media; friends and strangers weep for her now, of course they do” focuses on the many obstacles of a teenager named Amanda Todd who was bullied in high school. Both articles read convey two totally different situations but they are both surrounded by different difficult life situations involving the lack of self-esteem in one person that is caused by others.…

    “I knew that,” he would remark every time I answer a question wrong. “You need more friends,” he mocks as if I had none, and I would believe him. “Don’t listen to him,” my mom would likely say if I ever mentioned the harassment to her. Which I would never do. But why shouldn’t I believe him? I know I’ll never be as smart as the smartest kid in school. I’ll never have close to as many friends as the most popular kid. I’m stupid and nobody likes me.…

    The saying that we all know from when we were younger about how sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt us, is a complete lie. Just by saying a nice word can make someone’s day go from hell to them feeling like they can overcome the difficult day, but that can be the total opposite too. Someone may be having a wonderful day, seeing how nothing could go wrong, until someone is quick to judge them, and their day can dramatically change from a good day, to a day where they start down grading themselves, sometimes to the point where they may not even want to live anymore. This relates to my life because so many people these days are quick to judge and jump to conclusions before they know all the facts. For instance in the book the Blind Side by Michael Lewis, many people in the society are very quick to judge character Michael Oher. He’s big, tall, black, practically homeless, is going to a very nice school, and his mother is a drug addict and abuses alcohol. Michael is a very smart young man, many just think that “he was ignorant, but a lot of people mistake ignorance for stupidity and knowingness for intelligence.” (Lewis -). Michael was being judged every day because of where he came from, he was different from everyone else, and that the school that he was attending was…

    Narcissistic Mothers

    “I wish you were never born”, my mother screamed across the living room. Mom was in one of her moods again, what was new. She has a way of making you feel like you couldn’t even understand. You didn’t know if you should run to her aid or go shut yourself in your room to get out of her hair. No matter what she made you feel it was always about her. I dealt with my mother’s selfish moods on a daily basis. I did not even come close to understanding this as a young child but always had an innate feeling that there was something seriously wrong with her. I would go back and fourth being pissed off to severely empathetic to her. I have always struggled with wanting a relationship with my mother; I love her and hate her all in the same breath. I can never recall one time in my life feeling like we were emotionally connected. I just want her to be sorry, and even more than that I want her to just recognize how bad it was. Ultimately more than anything I want to feel close to her. I don’t want to feel uncomfortable when she hugs me.…

    Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Eleanor was a part of the higher society, but she had many trials in her life. Her parents died when she was only at the young age of 11 and her husband cheated on her. Through the tough times she held her head up high and didn’t let the opinions of others affect her in any way. This quote is about how you carry yourself and your self-esteem. My way of interpreting this quote is feelings are indicators not dictators. So you can take what someone says about you and just dismiss it and realize that sometimes people tear you down to build themselves up. Or you can take it to heart and let the words of someone that is imperfect and also has faults to tear you apart. I learned the hard way that the opinions and the hurtful words of others are to be not taken to heart and that I shouldn’t let it affect how I look at myself or my self-esteem. I myself have said hurtful things to people that I wish that I could take back but I can’t. Most of those people who I have said hurtful things were extremely mature about the situation and forgave. We say thing in the heat of the moment and we are so quick to speak that sometimes the words come out so fast that you don’t have time to take a breath. So the words and actions that people say or do to hurt you shouldn’t determine how you act or how you handle the situation. You have to love people for where they are at. If you react to the situation and blow up they got the satisfaction that they got under your skin and that what they said in fact bothered you. I have also been on the receiving end of the harsh words. It’s easy to take the words to heart and hold those words against people. I have been given grace in the past and now that is what I do now to this day. Don’t let the immaturity of others determine or dictate how you feel or think about yourself.…

    A great writer once said; “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. You’re playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. “A person’s biggest weakness and strength is their mind. And unfortunately I fall under this influence. Your mind deceives you by playing a role in the blasphemy of our weakness. Our strength takes a back toll to the things that we use to empower ourselves.…
