I am quite self-centered. I spend most of my time thinking about myself. Not exclusively, but a majority of my thoughts are me-centered.
It's a fact. This blog, in fact, is just me thinking - and writing - about myself. I'm probably a narcissist. I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it, though (what narcissist would?).
The reason I'm not concerned is because however much time I spend thinking about myself, the context is always social - my relationship to other people.
While I may be quite self-centered, and egotistical, and narcissistic, I try to balance that with being non-judgmental, tolerant, empathetic, forgiving, and kind. I try to strike a balance.
In other words, I try not to let my narcissism define me or limit me. I try to understand it so that it does not encumber my relationships.
I try to be aware of it, so it does not have power over me. I reject the idea of selfishness as a virtue.
I do not shy away from the spotlight, but I'm also okay in the background. I like an audience, but it doesn't have to be a large audience. And I do not suffer when there is no audience.
I like to talk about myself (and I do, a lot), but I'm also a good listener, at least, some of the time.
I don't take credit (or blame) for everything - I try to understand boundaries.
I'm grateful for whatever grace and balance I've found.
