- Chris2048 6y agoNarcissism is usually associated with self flattery or egocentricism, as opposed to selfish self-determinism/control (unless in the form of performant displays of anti-lockdown value-signalling). COVID inspired woke-scolding is more narcissistic.
- seppin 6y agoThat's one trait of narcissism, the main one is thinking that the world begins and ends with you. A virus doesn't begin and end with you (by definition), so any argument about self-determinism/control is a red herring meant to distract from what is happening. Wearing a mask isn't about you, the same way that a virus isn't interested in infecting one host. It about communal safety, not yours. > COVID inspired woke-scolding is more narcissistic. I have a feeling you would say the same thing with or without a deadly virus ravaging your country.
- Chris2048 6y ago> the main one is thinking that the world begins and ends with you i.e "egocentricism", as mentioned. Are you arguing about the perception of a narcissist, or your own? I'd rather not bite, thanks.

I get that you enjoy splitting hairs to confuse an otherwise simple discussion, but I don't.
