narcissist means that you are conceited beyond belief, you think you are god to everyone around you and constantly need your ego stroked; need some one following you around professing your love for them. A Narcissist does not love themselves at all, they need people and things to make them feel good about themselves. they can become very depressed and shut off everything and everyone if they don't feel like the star at work, home, people, possessions; Narcissist only have respect for people who tell them how they really are an a**hole, which normally means that they don't like that person or being around them. but secretly envy them for their confidence.
Loving yourself means that you love yourself for who you are faults and all, and that you don't need things or people to validate you. It means that you can see someone happy and not want what they have; It means that you are comfortable with you physical, mental, spiritual being as a person/human being, woman/man. You have natural confidence when you love yourself. You would be a person to have a narcissist enemy (secretly), or a narcissist trying to figure out what makes you tick (they don't believe there is anything wrong with them, always someone else)
Empathically not. Narcissists are incapable of loving. Idealization - the unrealistic, fantasic, pathological, and utilitarian adulation of a source of narcissistic supply - has nothing to do with love.
It means that whoever is the object of the phrase is seen as selfish and unable to love others... a strongly narcissistic person. Edit from other user: No. It does not mean the object of this phrase is selfish and unable to love others. Especially not narcissistic. What it really means is that, quite literally, the first person you (in the universal sense) love needs to be yourself. To love yourself first (before you can love others). And that your last love is also yourself for the same reason. Self-love is NOT narcissism. Self-Love is to care for yourself and to love yourself as much as you would anyone else.
Dating yourself or loving yourself does not determine your sexual orientation. Being gay means being attracted to the same gender, not how you treat or love yourself. So, dating yourself does not make you gay.
Real love is loving and trusting someone almost more then you love yourself. And them having the same feelings for you. It's when times get tough, you know they'll always be there for you no matter what. Its not like it is in the movies, and REAL love is not all about sex.
it could be; A- you love who they use to be.. or B- you love the thought of loving them
Caring and loving is not exactly the same thing. However, the two are interrelated to an extent. You cannot love someone without caring for them but you can show care without necessarily loving.
No, honey, it's not okay. Before loving someone, learn how to love yourself first. How? By respecting your being. Keeping on loving a guy who does not feel the same for you or says he does but is with someone else instead of you is the right way towards self-commiseration and misery. Head high, look the other way. Find yourself new hobbies, new interests, new friends. And give yourself time - it heals it all. Good Luck.
The better question would be do you love yourself still? If you do then are you willing to possibly allow yourself to be hurt again by the same person. You have to love yourself before anyone else can love you.
You have to figure it out yourself. Not everyone has the same feelings
The meaning of loving the idea of someone means that instead of loving the actual person you love either a created image of a person such as thinking they are somthing they are not and not knowing the person well. Answer The idea of loving someone is really the same thing as infatuation with that person. It is not love even though you may think it is at first. A good test of whether it is infatuation or love (if you are not sure of the difference between the two) is time. Infatuation will quickly fade. Love will stand the test of time and will not fade.
You cant make anyone love you. you can only be yourself and hope they feel the same..
You didn't say how old you are, but, no matter what your age you are confusing parental love (someone who knows you very well, loves you with all their heart; is kind, loyal, supportive and accepts you for who you are) as love. There are different types of love. Love towards your parents, siblings and certain relatives. Loving a pet. Loving a job, etc. You have gotten parental love confused with loving a girlfriend or boyfriend.It sounds like your mother is your mentor (you look up to her a great deal) and feel safe with her. However, in time, you will find a man or woman that you get along with. Give yourself time and try dating. Some people search for the right partner who has some of the same traits as their mother.
