17 Quotes Narcissists Will Love (Almost As Much As Themselves)
Turns out, Justin Beiber, Karl Lagerfeld and Oscar Wilde have something in common.
Do you have a BFF who seriously can't get enough of herself? Or, a boyfriend who spends hours, sometimes days, looking in the mirror? Or, did you wake up feeling like it's time to unleash your inner-Kanye today to remind the world how freaking amazing you are, once and for all?
Good, you've come to the right place because we've got narcissist quotes that even your most self-absorbed friends will love.
Narcissists are self-absorbed individuals who are in love with themselves. While self-love is an important thing to have, narcissists take it to a brand new level. Someone with a narcissistic personality disorder has a strong need for attention and self-affirmation. Not only can this be dangerous to themselves, but also super-toxic to those surrounding them.
Narcissists are drowning in their own self-arrogance and we see people like this in the news daily.
Our most common examples of a narcissist are those we see in entertainment magazines, on red carpet premiers and hear on the radio. Some celebrities tend to have many characteristics of those who are narcissistic. Perhaps even people like the Kardashians, who take selfies daily and post them to the internet seeking self-appraisal.
But really, the only thing a true narcissist loves more than themselves is feeling validated in their vanity. (Think 100+ likes on an Instagram selfie.) And one way to do it is through arrogant narcissist quotes — the perfect line from an actor, singer, author, fashion mogul or philosopher that describes their awesomeness, as if it was written about them... because wait, it was, wasn't it?
You know, something they can chant in the mirror every morning or use as a caption on their latest mobile upload. Heck, something they can recite (shout) at strangers passing by them on the street.
Perhaps Kanye summed it up in his New York Times interview when he so eloquently said, "I am the nucleus.”
Again, confidence is cool. Self-love is awesome. But being so self-obsessed with yourself that you don’t really care much about everyone else’s feelings is a little overboard. Narcissists really love themselves too much for their own good, and they will love these quotes that help sum up exactly how they feel.
From Justin Bieber to Oscar Wilde (yes, you read that right), here are the egotistical life quotes that need to be taped on every narcissist's mirror, Pinterest page and iPhone case — written over the picture of their face, of course.
