Narcissism- self[ love,centered,admiration,regard.]There is a healthy self-love? So far it looks pretty dysfunctional to me. Elitism in a group sense and vanity, conceit,egotism,selfishness on a personal level. Yikes!! Those are the good definitions.
Here are the bad ones: superiority,lack of empathy, overestimates abilities,excessive need for admiration,affirmation,severe selfishness,disregard for the needs and feelings of others,self-indulgent. Selfagrandization and acclaim not based on genuine accomplishments. UGH!
I don't want to be in that! Let me out.
The only way out is through the cross of Jesus,cleansed by His perfection and blood sacrifice.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,that whosoever believes in Him should not perish,but have everlasting life.
First John 4:7,8. Beloved let us love one another. For love is of God and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not,knoweth not God for God is love. Beloved,let us love one another. That pretty well kicks narcissism[self-love] in the head. [I would say keister,but I am preachin' here so got to keep it on the up and up.]
The resurrection power of Messiah Jesus ,The Holy Spirit, can change the stinky old narcissist and keep him fresh as a daisy,not fresh as a narcissus.
Got a few things to work on here,pray about. See you later.
