Is it conceited or narcissistic to think of yourself as pretty/attractive? (Page 2)

[aloha96]

I’m starting to think thoughts about how I look attractive. And sometimes I need to stop myself from telling myself I’m arrogant... I used to hate myself completely and never truly loved what I looked like. Now I have days where I feel good and think I look good

[Factshurt90]

No! Self confidence is healthy... telling yourself you are pretty is great!
Putting others down and needlessly comparing is where the problem comes. It passes into narcissism when you think you are better than everyone.

[BulletproofNY]

For the most part I’d think that’s mostly having a healthy self esteem.

[megaman242]

No it's not, but with all types of power comes responsibility. Are you using it for evil or good? One day even you will become old, so beautiful is not a job, get your education, get a personality and get your self a job no matter how beautiful you might be.

[jackie1999]

No everyone should, if you don't how will anyone else. Confidence is a good thing always

[ranax]

Thinking of yourself as pretty/attractive is different from thinking you are prettier or more attractive than most people. When you let it make you feel better or superior, things may escalate to narcissism or conceit.

[saucegoddess]

I don't think so.
Yet I still feel guilty for talking about me being pretty.
It's kind of ingrained in most of us that it's egotistical and narcissistic to consider yourself attractive/admit that you're good-looking.

[CubsterShura]

I'm almost 18 so naturally I look good now 😂 but it's just gonna take another decade to start seeing the beauty fade away as well. There is nothing to get arrogant about it. Beauty is temporary. Very temporary.

[winterfox10]

It's one thing to acknowledge fact, or make an observation, but it's another to repeat something a lot. If you make a joke enough times, people stop thinking of it as a joke.

[TheSoundOfSilas]

Nope. It only becomes conceited if you demean others for being "below" your standards. Demeaning someone for being pretty due to the preconceived notion that they must be conceited because they are pretty, is also conceited.

[Jupiter1]

I don’t consider myself conceited or narcissistic but I think some of my friends and relatives think I am. They won’t disagree though that I am quite handsome since they usually tell me I am.

[Nivinxus]

Only when you need to make it known to other people. Think of it this way, if you see it as your defining trait as a human being, then something is wrong.

[WolfNamed]

I agree.

[shimmeryns]

Its a positive self image. It means you are secure and confident about yourself. Narcissism is when you believe you are prettier than everybody else with the sense of entitlement that comes with it.

[Ordinarygurl_]

No its arrogance that makes you anrcisstic or too much pride

[mynameisvenus]

No, I find myself attractive. How sad it would be to think of yourself as unattractive

[mynameisvenus]

Lol, ugly guys voted me down

[MLGbreezy]

No in fact I think it's the opposite so many people don't have that kind of confidence in themselves that they are attractive to begin with but if it starts to go to your head that's where I think it starts to be a problem

[WolfNamed]

If you feel you are pretty then you are, but if you feel you are more prettier than someone else then it becomes narcissistic or conceited. I'm not some 6 pack abs guy. In fact according to the bathroom scale I'm overweight. I believe I'm attractive still not out of narcissism but because I prefer to think of myself as not ugly. I do have other defining qualities but I can think of myself as nice looking.

[menina]

Of course not! You need to love yourself, regardless what other people think of you.
Having an high self-esteem is one of the keys to success and to well-being.

[Michellediva]

To think of yourself that's pretty or attractive is not conceited or narcissistic unless you're rubbing it in people's faces which is absolutely terrible.

[LtJackass]

It is if you say it. Other than that it doesn't really matter. Not everyone is going to think you're attractive even if you are.
