Does the whole world have narcissism?

Question

Sure seems like it. At least in American culture.

Answer 1

We are all pisquint each other off, and then we are thrown along with the usual suspects into lower earth orbit.

I guess I can't take things seriously because I can't change and change the world, and effectively improve on the same old dreams with a "simple" mind, such as it is.

Answer 2

we can vomit together.

"looking after no.1" that phrase really narks me off.

duty toward self breeds duty towards others I say. I believe in a way that makes me want to share. luckily i am surrounded by a great bunch of like minded peolpe

The selfish are dinosaurs that you and I are a social evolutionary stage ahead of.

Answer 3

As long as people have self confidence, they are narcissist. Then about how far their narcissism is before they are called arrogant.  

Answer 4

I suggest you spend some time around volunteer organizations. Not all of them are entirely altruistic, but there are some wonderfully giving people there.

Answer 5

I'm narcissistic, and realistic. I can't help it if I start thinking, "wow, why am I so smart and everyone else is so stupid?" Thinking highly in any way of oneself is narcissism and I don't see anything  wrong with appreciating yourself a little. Sometimes being selfish is a good thing. It's not like I'm self-centered, I care a lot about other people and causes, I am a volunteer for many animal rights programs, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate how great you are as a person. Anyone who claims they are not selfish or narcissistic in any way is lying, and in a sense being narcissistic by making that statement.

Answer 6

Not me and don't care if others have it.

Answer 7

Not quite the whole world. I'm an exception for starters, but I can see what you're getting at, and I agree.

If we spent more time observing matters and appreciating the beauty of the world around us, rather than continually staring into mirrors wondering how we came to be so clever, we might all get to be a bit happier.  

Answer 8

anyone knows, I don't know what people in this world do.

Answer 9

Affirmative. Age of automation is contributory influence narcissism on our planet. The system allows us to focus much on self.  During this age,it is a culture where people becomes lover of themselves, much pride, lover of wealth,

self centered, insist on their self opinion. But this side of group continues to become narcissists.  On the other hand, there are some who give selves as sacrifice.
