Narcissus was a Greek god who fell in love with his reflection in a pool... and then drowned.

Everyones a narcissist i reckon, but there are levels. An extreme narcissist is a problem to him or herself!Yeah you could be right, social media has not helped either, I see some weird things on facebook that often makes me wonder if people have issues, one example, people who share pictures that say 'Share this if you love your kids' wtf is that all about? http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif I don't need to share a picture on facebook to prove I love my kids, it goes without saying, it all feels very unnatural and a bit weird to me.

Narcissism is so rampant these days, selfie stucks ugh ****ing narcissist stick, it affects everyone but it seems like 90% of women these days (young women anyway) are just pure narcissistic in everything they do, men not so much but its still atleast 50% for men. Constantly on facebook/instagram/twitter/snapchat, oh lord, how many ways can you express that you are bored and are feigning an interesting life because if you really were leading a life worth sharing you certainly wont have the time to share it.

-Has a grandiose sense of self-importance, exaggerating their abilities and achievements

You're so vain, you probably think this thread is about you. Don't you? Don't you?Good articles, I'm on the sick at th moment have all these FB friends yet the one who is getting in touch the most is my mate who thinks Fb is a load of bollocks and it's a false illusion of happiness all this selfie bullshit culture.

Remember a time when 'we' used to go somewhere - holiday, trip to the coast - whatever.

And 'we' took pictures of the places we visited. As a memento - whatever.

Now 'we' take pictures of ourselves in those landscapes - having such a great / cool / chilled time in those places.

The world has become obsessed with illustrating how much we are all 'living the life'.

Just get back to living it!

When you go to a bigger gig now, very few people are getting carried away with the spirit of the occasion.
All way too busy filming it. FFS .. why?! * - just fecking watch / listen to it while you are there!

* I know why .. busy collecting mandatory 'Living the life' evidence - yet again. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/rolleyes.gif
It fecking makes me boil. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif

Latest studies suggest we are in the midst of a narcissism epidemic, I always thought it was just a personality trait that some people have but it is personality disorder that can cause serious issues for some.Indeed, I see people every day trying to convince the world they are happier than everyone else but it's all false, I use fb mainly for my djing so I have about 2000 ravers in my friends list, when the Monday morning depression kicks in my news feed is utter carnage, that's when you see the real people come out.
