No I don't believe in Narcissism.

Loving yourself has nothing to do with narcissism.

OP: And it's hard for me to answer this because I don't want to feel narcissistic in any way, shape or form. I do not mind being me, I do not hate myself or dislike myself, but I am also the one to never brag about myself (in my personal life. On NB in the RP it's a free-for-all with the egos and I'm somewhere on top). So I'm not sure if I should love myself or even how to love myself. May you enlighten me?

I don't do anything, but being myself is good.

Welcome to your inclusion in Humanity. Very few hate themselves or seek to change. Their numbers are so small that anyone would barely notice them. So, you are like ... everybody else.

There is only person who has been with you all your life through everything and will always be with you. Why wouldn't you love that person and cherish them? If that means bragging about it so be it. There is nothing inherently wrong with bragging and you don't need anyones permission to love yourself. Self love is not only a great feeling but it's a way of life. The essence of it is to take care of yourself, stand up for yourself and be there for yourself.

Loving themselves too much leads to arrogance, I accept myself striving to get better and better

To love others, you must first love thyself.

If you can't love yourself, how can you ever love your fellow man (human)?

Disagree, actually most of the people learn how to love themselves when they start loving others (like Gaara more or less)

If you love someone you want the best for them right? Alot of people don't believe they deserve to have what they want but if you loved yourself it would actually get rid of that mental block holding you back and you would want to make all kinds of progress towards your goals. I adopted this mindset 2 months ago and I have since then dropped out of university to follow my dream. So just because you love yourself doesn't mean you will stay the same, infact you would want to improve and become a better version of yourself
