lack of egoism is a terrible weakness i have to eradicat
 
i want to think egoistic thoughts, like i am more important than others, others are nothing, only i am god, only i matter. i want to deeply brainwash myself to be egoistic. i need to become a (malignant) narcissist, psychopath, machiavellian and selfish.

here is what chatgpt thinks:

how does an egoist feel and act?

ChatGPT:​


An egoist, in the philosophical sense, is someone who primarily acts out of self-interest and believes that their own well-being or desires should be the central focus of their actions. While the term "egoism" can have different meanings in various contexts (e.g., psychological, ethical, or philosophical), here’s a general breakdown of how an egoist might feel and act, specifically in terms of ethical egoism:

1. Feelings and Attitudes:

  • Self-Priority: An egoist tends to prioritize their own needs, desires, and happiness above others'. They may feel justified in pursuing their interests and may experience satisfaction or contentment when they succeed in doing so.
  • Lack of Empathy or Indifference: While not necessarily lacking empathy, egoists may show indifference or reduced concern for others' needs or feelings if those needs conflict with their own. They might think that helping others is only valuable if it ultimately serves their own interests.
  • Self-Confidence: Egoists often have a strong sense of self-confidence, believing that their desires or judgments are more important or valid than those of others. This confidence can be a source of pride.
  • Ambivalence Toward Altruism: While they might understand the value of helping others, an egoist is likely to question whether acts of altruism (helping others without personal gain) are truly valuable or just a means of seeking approval or recognition.

2. Behavior and Actions:

  • Decision-Making Based on Self-Interest: An egoist will typically make decisions that benefit themselves, even if it might be at the expense of others. They may justify this by believing that their personal well-being is paramount.
  • Manipulative or Strategic Behavior: In some cases, an egoist might use others as tools to achieve their own goals, perhaps without openly acknowledging this. They could engage in strategic or manipulative behavior to maximize personal gain.
  • Limited Altruism: If an egoist helps others, it’s often because they believe that doing so will benefit them in some way, whether through reciprocal favors, social recognition, or avoiding negative consequences (such as feeling guilty or facing conflict).
  • Independence and Self-Reliance: Egoists often value their independence and might seek to be self-sufficient rather than relying on others. They might resist obligations or compromises that require sacrificing their own interests for the sake of others.
  • Avoiding Sacrifice: Egoists tend to avoid situations where they are asked to make personal sacrifices for the benefit of others, unless the sacrifice brings a personal reward or benefit.

3. Social Interaction:

  • Transactional Relationships: Egoists may approach relationships from a "what's in it for me?" perspective. Friendships and interactions could be seen more as exchanges, where they give or support others only if they stand to gain something in return.
  • Self-Advocacy: An egoist might be vocal about their own needs, advocating for themselves in situations where they believe their interests are at stake. They may be more likely to push for personal gain in conversations, negotiations, or conflicts.
  • Defensiveness or Arrogance: In conflicts, an egoist may become defensive or even arrogant, as they are focused on protecting or asserting their own position or desires. They might have difficulty empathizing with the other side's perspective or needs.

4. Overall Worldview:

  • Realism or Cynicism: Some egoists may adopt a worldview where they believe that everyone is ultimately motivated by self-interest, even if they hide it under the guise of altruism or morality. As such, they might be skeptical of others' motivations or suspicious of overly generous or self-sacrificial behavior.
  • Moral Justification of Self-Interest: An egoist often sees their behavior as morally justified, believing that prioritizing one's own needs is natural or rational. Ethical egoists might argue that a society in which individuals act in their own self-interest would lead to the greatest good, as people are best suited to know and pursue their own happiness.

5. Emotional Responses:

  • Guilt-Free Self-Care: An egoist generally feels little guilt about prioritizing themselves. They see taking care of their own interests as a natural and reasonable thing to do.
  • Frustration When Self-Interest is Threatened: If their desires or needs are thwarted by others, an egoist may feel frustration, anger, or resentment. They may view such interference as a violation of their personal autonomy.
In sum, an egoist’s feelings and actions are dominated by self-interest, and they may act in ways that prioritize personal gain, often with limited concern for the needs or feelings of others unless doing so serves their own goals. However, it's important to note that egoism doesn’t necessarily mean being overtly malicious or cruel; some egoists may still act within social norms if it aligns with their self-interest.

Certainly! Here’s a deeper dive into the psychological, emotional, and social aspects of egoism, as well as how it might manifest in different contexts.

6. Psychological Traits of an Egoist:

  • Narcissism and Self-Love: While not all egoists are narcissistic, there can be an overlap. An egoist often has a high regard for their own value and worth, sometimes to the point of self-absorption. They may think their opinions, desires, and needs are more significant than those of others. In some cases, this can manifest as narcissistic behavior, where the egoist believes they are deserving of admiration or special treatment.
  • Entitlement: An egoist may feel entitled to special treatment, rewards, or success because they view themselves as deserving of those things due to their inherent value or effort. This sense of entitlement can cause them to expect things from others, often without reciprocating.
  • Lack of Emotional Vulnerability: Egoists may struggle with vulnerability, especially if it involves admitting weakness, neediness, or dependency on others. They prefer to maintain a strong, self-sufficient front, even if that means suppressing or ignoring their emotional needs.
  • Cognitive Dissonance: To maintain their worldview and justify their actions, egoists may experience cognitive dissonance when their actions conflict with their beliefs about right or wrong. For instance, if they have to lie or manipulate others to get what they want, they might rationalize it by convincing themselves that their actions are necessary or even morally right. This allows them to maintain their self-image as morally justified.
  • Low Altruistic Motivation: While many people have a mix of self-interest and altruism in their motivations, egoists typically feel little intrinsic motivation to help others unless there’s a clear benefit for them. If they do engage in acts of kindness or charity, it's often calculated—either for social status, emotional gratification, or as an investment in future favors.

7. Deeper Emotional Dynamics:

  • Inner Conflict vs. Emotional Freedom: On the one hand, egoists might feel a sense of inner freedom and emotional security because they prioritize their own happiness and well-being. They are less likely to feel the emotional burden that comes from worrying about others’ needs or expectations. On the other hand, if their desires conflict with social norms or expectations (e.g., taking advantage of others), they may experience inner conflict, self-doubt, or anxiety, especially if their behavior leads to negative consequences.
  • Fear of Dependence: Egoists often fear being in a situation where they rely on others or have to depend on them emotionally, financially, or socially. This fear of dependence can make them fiercely independent, possibly to an extreme, where they push people away to maintain control over their circumstances. The idea of "being controlled" or "being vulnerable" to others' needs can feel like a threat to their autonomy.
  • Anger or Resentment Toward Those Who Violate Boundaries: Egoists can become very upset when others violate their personal boundaries. Since their self-interest and personal space are so closely tied to their emotional sense of security, any violation—whether it’s taking their time, asking for favors without reciprocation, or encroaching on their emotional or material resources—can lead to strong feelings of anger, resentment, or even vindictiveness.
  • Guilt (or Lack of It): If they are doing something that benefits themselves at the expense of others, egoists may not feel guilt, especially if they believe that their actions were justified or if they are simply following their own desires. However, if they’re confronted with their behavior or if the consequences lead to a negative outcome for them, they may experience a sense of remorse, but more as a reaction to the threat to their interests rather than to any moral failing.

8. Social Interaction and Relationships:

  • Transactional View of Relationships: Egoists often view relationships (both personal and professional) in terms of what they can gain or how they can benefit. Friendships, family ties, and romantic relationships are seen less as mutual emotional connections and more as opportunities for personal growth, material gain, or social advancement. For example, a romantic relationship might be pursued primarily for companionship, status, or even financial benefit rather than deep emotional connection.
  • Difficulty with Empathy and Compassion: Egoists often struggle with empathy, particularly when it requires self-sacrifice. If someone else’s needs conflict with their own, they might find it hard to empathize with the other person. While they can still understand others' emotions and reasons, they may lack the desire to act on this understanding if it doesn’t benefit them.
  • Covert Manipulation: While some egoists may be overt in their pursuit of self-interest, others may be more covert or subtle. They might use charm, persuasion, or manipulation to get what they want. For instance, they may employ guilt trips, flattery, or emotional appeal to get others to act in their favor. In these cases, the egoist is more concerned with maintaining an image of being "good" or "well-meaning" while still pursuing their self-interest behind the scenes.
  • Superficial Friendships: Egoists often form friendships or social connections with people who serve a practical or social purpose. They might have a large circle of acquaintances or superficial friendships, but deeper emotional intimacy is often lacking. They may have a lot of people around them but feel lonely at their core because the relationships are not founded on mutual understanding or genuine emotional connection.
  • Conflict Avoidance (If It Threatens Self-Interest): In social or professional situations where standing up for others might cause trouble or conflict, egoists may avoid taking a stand or making difficult moral decisions. They often avoid risks that might jeopardize their comfort, status, or security. They will likely avoid confrontations that don’t directly benefit them.

9. Egoism in Professional and Political Contexts:

  • Ambition and Self-Advocacy: In the professional realm, an egoist may be highly ambitious, focusing on their own career advancement and success. They could aggressively pursue promotions, recognition, or financial success, often viewing others as competitors. While they might cooperate with others, they often do so in a way that maximizes their own gain.
  • Moral Relativism in Professional Ethics: An egoist may engage in morally questionable actions if they believe it advances their self-interest. In business or politics, for example, they might justify lying, bending rules, or exploiting others if it brings them power, money, or status. They may believe that the "ends justify the means" as long as their personal success is achieved.
  • Strategic Relationships in Work Settings: At work or in professional settings, egoists may form alliances based on strategic value, understanding that relationships can be leveraged for personal gain. They might be adept at networking, building connections that offer clear advantages, but may be quick to drop or distance themselves from people who no longer serve their interests.

10. Philosophical Underpinnings of Egoism:

  • Psychological Egoism: This is the belief that all human actions are motivated by self-interest, even when they appear altruistic. From this view, an egoist would not feel that they could act purely out of concern for others, as they would argue that even acts of kindness are done for some personal benefit (e.g., the good feeling from helping someone, or the hope of future reciprocation).
  • Ethical Egoism: This is the ethical stance that individuals ought to act in their self-interest. Ethical egoists do not necessarily deny the existence of other people’s needs or desires, but they argue that it is morally right for individuals to prioritize their own well-being over others'. In this view, if everyone acted in their own best interest, society would ultimately be better off.
  • Egoism vs. Altruism: An egoist sees altruism (selflessness or concern for others' well-being) as misguided, inefficient, or even irrational. They may argue that it is not practical to sacrifice one’s own happiness for the sake of others, as individuals are best suited to make decisions that benefit themselves.

Conclusion:​

An egoist’s worldview is centered around the belief that self-interest is the highest guiding principle. This manifests in many areas of life, from their emotional responses to their social relationships and even their career choices. While egoism can be a source of empowerment and self-fulfillment, it can also lead to isolation, manipulation, and conflicts with others who don’t share the same values. Depending on the degree of egoism, these tendencies can range from mild self-interest to extreme self-centeredness, affecting both their relationships and their place in society.
