I am a..narcissist

Is the word 'narcissistic' a word that you would use to describe yourself? I was asked that. And I had to answer with a yes. Yes, narcissistic is a word that I would use to describe myself. In fact, it is THE word that I would use to describe myself.Narcissism is defined as excessive love or admiration of onesself. Some people percieve the word in a negative light, or associate the word with concieted, maybe even over-bearing. But I see narcissism and being narcisstic in a positive light. In a way very different than others.Narcissism is defined as excessive love for onesself. Excessive love.Excessive is exceeding a normal, usual, reasonable, or proper limit. Exceeding a normal amount. What is the normal amount of love that an individual administers to onesself? I know that if I ponder on that question and do a survey on the people that I encounter day to day, I hear people speaking more negativaly or overly critical on themselves, more than I hear people affirm themselves on how wonderful they are.The fact that I can wake up in the morning, and look in the mirrorand be comfortable with what I see, is not enough to me. There is not a single other person in the world like me. Maybe similar, but not identical. And I think to not acknowledge that, is truly selling yourself short..Every single cell, habit, and trait in me, I love, simply because no one else is like it. I was made like this for a reason, the freckles beneath my eyes, the sound of my voice, every chemical in my brain, no one has the exact amount or placement.How amazing. I'm a walking masterpiece. Every single person is unique in their own way, and every single person is a masterpieceWhat people have to say about me, does not matter. At the end of the day, I know I am an amazing person, and I know I am beautiful. So, yes, I am narcissistic, because I love myself an excessive amount. And I know this, because I love myself enoughto not let anyone alter the amount of faith I have in myself, no matter how low the lows plummet.
