We are all narcissists

So I read a book “Concise Laws of Human Nature”

There, basically it is explained that we all love ourselves, therefore, we are all narcissistic by nature, just there are spectrums. The difference between a clinical NPD with those who don’t is how their love for themselves affects other people, or to be more accurate, how this love for themselves affects how they interact with other people.

I acknowledge that I love myself. I love the conditions that are bestowed upon myself. I love how my intellect helps me realize things people don’t. I love my curiosity about the universe and how the world really works in physics world. I actually am curious about things supernatural, but there are not many reliable documented sources about that. I also love the blessing that I have with my physique. Although I’m not at the top tier, but I would put myself somewhere about 8 relative to people around me, and maybe 6-7 relative to people in the world. See? Narcissist enough?

But sometimes I also hate myself. To be accurate, I hate the self that decides to do the stupid things I did, if that makes sense. I also hate myself for all the weakness that I have. I used to hate myself for being so introverted, but now I’m not anymore. Yeah, just like that.

But I think (one of) the worst kind of a person is a narcissist at the point they will be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Those people that don’t consider other people at all, unless those other people benefit themselves. Like she’s the center of the world where other people should revolve around her, and their problems don’t matter, only hers.
