Is it narcissistic to believe you’re amazing?

[Anonymous]

What’s the difference between self- love and narcissism? If I affirm to myself that I’m “amazing” and recite my good qualities to believe in myself, is that heading towards narcissism? How do I love myself and believe in myself without being narcissistic?

Narcissism is diagnosed by a psychiatrist. Though, many people use it incorrectly.

Thank you. I’m just worried that I’ll become narcissistic with this self-love thing that’s all

Not always... It really depends on why you think you're so amazing. The thing about delusions of grandeur is that they need to be delusions. A delusional belief is one that it unfounded in reality.

If you say that to yourself and you don’t seek a others approbation or compliments, you’re ok. You love yourself and you say yourself you’re good, that’s an healthy relationship with yourself.

Look up narcissistic personality disorder and it will tell you the attributes that go along with it. Confidence and narcissism aren't the same thing.
