Soft Narc
...oh so pretty!
Soft narcissism, something I debate in my own mind anytime I look at social networking, or post photos of myself, and publish it for anyone to see…
In it’s traditional sense, its defined, quite literally as excessive or erotic interest in oneself and one’s physical appearance.
Psychology extreme selfishness, with a grandiose view of one’s own talents and a craving for admiration, as characterizing a personality type.
I look at these words, and hope to downplay them as being overly characteristic of how I really am. I am sure there is a fine line between sharing something that makes you happy, and showing off. Who knows…
I do believe everyone wants to share their accomplishments, and feel that energy from a nod of recognition, whether it be from friends, loved ones, counterparts, people they look up to, or whoever. I think Everyone wants to work hard, see a cool result, and in turn feel appreciated, to reinforce what in many cases, is just a symbolic pat on the back you got as a kid from a parent, mentor, or some role model.
I also believe the merits of working hard are rewarded in the process, and you have to be some kind of vain asshole to need encouragement for everything you do. So, with that I share these photos of me and a couple of friends hanging out near some dirt piles in the woods, eating a can of beans over an over fire. Hope you like it…
