The narcissist’s dilemma

First take the test and find out whether or not you are a narcissist.

Test: You are in front of a glass pane that is reflecting some light forming your image and transmitting some light letting you see the person standing on the other side. The person on the other side is exquisitely handsome/pretty.

Now who would you rather check out? The other person or your own image?

Yes…you are a narcissist if you have opted to ogle at yourself.

Now about the dilemma…

The narcissist faces the ultimate dilemma when he or she is told about their resemblance with another person. The narcissist will take a good look at this person.

And then look at the different pictures of him/her again and again trying to decide who looks better.

Now if this person looks better than the narcissist he/she would be upset because it proves that a better looking version of himself/herself exists in this world.

And if the person looks worse than the narcissist he/she would be upset because it triggers the disturbing thought that another person has found this ugly person similar looking.

And thus after suffering from prolonged mental anguish the narcissist finally looks into the mirror…one place that never fails to provide solace…takes a deep reassuring sigh…tosses out the pictures of the lookalike and declares with conviction, “I’m always the best.”
