The selfie syndrome - how social media is making us narcissistic.
What is Narcissism?
Narcissistic personality disorder involves a preoccupation with self and how one is perceived by others. Narcissists pursue gratification from vanity and the admiration of their own physical and intellectual attributes.
Signs of narcissism:
Unilateral listening
Instead of listening in order to respond, narcissists listen in order to dismiss, negate, ignore, minimize or otherwise make someone else’s concerns irrelevant
Preoccupied with self
Narcissists act selfishly and, even if being generous, are generally only responsive to their own concerns
Being above the rules
Narcissists feel that they are above others and that the rules don’t apply to them
