i think you just reached a new level of narcissism after exploring everything looks alone had to offer
narcissism isn't only about looks. every form of validation matters.

No ofc, narcissism can be somatic or cerebral, I don’t think I’m either anymore tbh. I just care to help humanity, reach my full potential and support and create a family of my own. I feel like a healthy human finally. Honestly, do not require any validation from anyone. I just want to be the best version of myself and spend time with my loved ones, like my gf and our cat for eg

that is literally the last stage of narcissism bro, you want to be associated with the highest istitutions, be recognized, and yeah obv you developed also feelings and an human side. narcissism isn't even bad, every great man is fueled by the will to shine and be recognized.

I mean to subclinical level we’re all narcissists tbh, it keeps us alive

I just meant like NPD, as in to clinical level, think I cured mine.. I don’t particularly care about shinning, I want a private life. But I also want a comfortable life. What I care about is making the most of the hand I’ve been dealt with. That’s more ambition than narcissism ngl, cause idc if others validate me

i think ambition and narcissism is the same. you wouldn't really care if no one knew what was your position and everything unless you really really enjoy what you're doing, like it's your biggest passion.

Ambition doesn't become narcissism....unless you are already NPD

Ambitious healthy people want to see their efforts help those who need it, make the world a better place, improve lives....and they will do whatever it takes to get there....except hurt others.

Narcissists on the other hand do not care about others. They may try to, they may pretend to, they may say they do... But at the end of the day, they actually can't care in quite the same way that other people do. They may or may not be ambitious, and it has nothing to do with their narcissism. Narcissism does not presuppose ambition, and lack of ambition does not preclude narcissism. Narcissists lack compassion and empathy. They may do "good" things, they may "help" people, they may work hard, laugh and enjoy life, and be good company (most of the time). But ultimately, they lack "heart". They have a void inside of them that they can't fill; their emptiness is profound and almost tangible.

Your statement assumes a continuum from ambition to narcissism. I would disagree with that premise. If you are compassionate and empathetic, if you care about people, and see yourself as an integral part of the human race, just doing your part to make the world a better place or just care for your own family....whether in business, romance, family relations, or any of life's other meaningful pursuits...then you can be ambitious and you will sow seeds of wholeness in the lives of those around you.

If you are the kind of person who is stepping on others to get to the top, cutting down coworkers to make yourself look better....manipulating people and situations to get what you need out of life, and taking care of yourself to the exclusion of those who need and (are trying to) love you...if you think people are typically in your way, wrong, crazy, immature, "less than" you, out to get you, or trying to derail your success....if you find yourself never satisfied with relationships because your needs are not being met by anyone around you.....if you're hiding from the emptiness inside, with your personal goals of success, recognition and achievement as your primary motivation every day...then your ambition isn't leading you to narcissism....you're already a narcissist

i see. i guess some people are born to be contributors while others are born to leech off. i would never put this insane amount of effort if not to impress others, and since i don't really care about impressing others anymore i chose the easy low cortisol path. i neither want to help people or use them for my scopes, i'm just focused on personal pleasure and avoiding stress. but if everyone was like me the world wouldn't progress, that happens because of people like you.

Sounds like you’re pursuing a hedonistic lifestyle. Personally I’m focusing on becoming more stoic

Also a good example of ambition vs narcissism relating to my previois post: me vs @averagejoe

Ambitious altruistic person vs textbook narcissist
