Turning Into Narcissists

Wednesday 21 of May 2025 and I think I saw a reel recently that is effectively kind of like um it's effectively kind of like explaining what I've already suspected and kind of like what I've already known if I'm being honest that you know kind of like social media in general is

0:00

making us or suspected it is kind of like um it is suspected that social media is making us a little bit more narcissistic.

Now, why is it that I'm talking about this? I'm talking about this because like in recent history, in the things that I've been experiencing lately, kind of like in my working life, in my, you know, my work life, which obviously consists massively, you know, kind of like using social media

to build a brand, build a presence, sell products, you know, pertaining to my rap career and stuff like that. You know, I've experienced a lot of personal satisfaction, acceptance, happiness in the fact that I just love to create and I love to share and I love to connect with people that that is something it's definitely kind of like an archetype about me if I'm being honest it's something that I really enjoy to do and it's something that I'm willing to you know it's a journey that I'm willing to be on

irrespective of kind of like you know what my social media platform looks like i.e. metrics wise you know when it comes to followers view counts uh know, when it comes to all of those things, really and truthfully, what I pride myself off of the most is kind of like the communication, the connection, the, you know, the engagement and the people that I connect with, the relationships,

is what I value more than the actual metrics, like how many times somebody has viewed my content, how many times somebody has left a comment and stuff like that I really care about that the most because it is through those relationships that I'm going to be able to

effectively kind of like give people things of value, things that I want to give people, things that I think that we know like you know, there's kind of like a mutual connection where you know somebody wants to effectively get something from me just as much as I want to be able to share that with them you know even if it's for free for example so I feel like that's again effectively the cure against narcissism and stuff like that thinking so much about the self I feel like in essence the thing that I feel like

I can be selfish about without necessarily having a negative impact on anybody else it's just kind of like you know the love that I have for creating things and sharing them and I feel like in essence like you know being able to do that and also having the love to kind of like you know engage with other people and share their stuff as well and just kind of like engage in that sense is effectively that the cure not completely the cure against like you know the medical definition of narcissism and the actual effect of

social media itself but it definitely helps me kind of like you know with a feeling a little bit deflated and you know the the idea of burning out it kind of like helps massively against burnout if that makes any sense at all
