i thought narcissism is when you ONLY care about what others think?

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's insecurity. Narcissism is many things, but a big part is oneself focusing on oneself. If others think poorly of the narcissist, those people are simply ignored for being wrong/stupid. Narcissists are brazenly selfish, vain, self-centred, etc. and don't care what others think unless it's praising, in their interests at the time, or negativity toward them is very popular.

Ah, looks like you're right.

"A personality disorder characterized by self-preoccupation, need for admiration, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem"

Is it sociopathy? Whatever disorder that allows someone to become a billionaire.

Why does it need to be a disorder? Being a selfish greedy asshole is not a disorder. It can be a result of some disorders, but it doesn't have to be.

You’re right. Narcissists are generally very concerned with what other people think - specifically about them.
