Question

Are people in general more narcissistic than they used to be?

Answer 1

Yes, they certainly are! It's going to get worse as time goes on. In today's world, parenting stresses self-esteem -- which is a good thing, but they overdo it at the expense of humility.

Answer 2

Yes.  Witness the guy at the top.

Answer 3

People can make their own judgements, even you. But what good is judging without a sense of justice or making it right? I believe in God and myself, cause his thinking of everyone and I try. But just and fare and don't evil get to you. You should be alright with a good heart you can overcome whatever comes your way. Life after life, day after day, year after after, with the will to believe you can achieve what you see clean to you!

Edit~I even confused myself a little. Basically you can change all this if you try to make it better=) I believe it can be done, so I try

Answer 4

Yeah, have you seen all the "am I pretty?" questions? They drive me nuts. The world doesn't revolve around you people

Answer 5

Huh?  What's that?  Were you talking about me?

Just kidding.

Everyone is motivated to at least some extent by self-interest; it's how we have managed to survive for so long... it's easy to see how it's been taken to extremes though : reality show contestants, for example...
