Narcissism:

Narcissism is the personality trait of egotism, vanity, conceit, or simple selfishness. Applied to a social group, it is sometimes used to denote elitism or an indifference to the plight of others

I am a narcissist. In certain ways.

I am not elite.

I am am not superior.

But I do like to take pictures of myself.

I can be egotistical.

I take compliments humbly, but secure them safely.

I am vain in the way that I sometimes need a mirror.

I only know that I look good because you tell me so.

And your opinion counts for something.

It is healthy to be selfish to a point.

Work on things that will benefit you precisely.

I am not a bad person apparently. But I am superior?

I will just continue to take self portraits and hope that one day someone will tell me to stop and my head will no longer grow. For it is like poison to continuosly compliment me on my appearance rather than my ability.

Its funny how I find the need to explain myself...that I must let the world know, listen world...you are going to be seeing alot of my face...to be honest, its an alright face, but i dont post it continuously because I think you all should see it and tell me that its great....but I am a solo...a lone wolf photographer...and the only willing model around...is me. And if I can control what pictures of me surfaces...then that is exactly what I will do.

Confession time: I joined this for a girl. I wonder if she will notice...
