I know that I am quite cynical. My parents tell me I'm narcissistic. Although I am generally an optimistic/happy person. What does that leave me with on the trait spectrum?

do you judge people based on a rigid set of standards that sometimes not even yourself can meet?

I don't judge people period as a matter of fact I just met a partially deaf girl recently that I'm starting to like

E/ what if I had said yes?

im not talking about judging them based on characteristics that are out of their control. Only an asshole would be a piece of shit/rude to them


i mean, do you judge people's actions based on a rigid set of standards?



You mentioned that youre cynical , but also a positive person. This is somewhat of an oxymoron, because cynicism is an attitude characterised by a general distrust in others' motives believing that humans are selfish by nature, and ruled by emotion.
It's a form of jaded prudence, and other times, realistic criticism.

"Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from vanity, or egotistic admiration of one's own attributes, that derive from arrogant pride." -- you sure you're a narcissist? or just looking out for #1, as do many people, naturally
