Don’t Confuse Authenticity with Narcissism

narcissism = talking about yourself all the time
authenticity = being yourself all the time

a narcissist doesn’t love himself, he loves his personality, the superficial character he builds for himself
unable to spend a day alone without a means of social communication to talk about himself
a narcissist doesn’t love himself, he loves what he undertakes: building a career, starting a business, founding a perfect family
he gets enormously attached to what he undertakes
he is ready to self-destruct out of pride
he is ready to earn more money even if it kills him, to save his company,…
he is proud of his creation

an authentic person loves himself for what he truly is
can spend days alone, doesn’t need to talk about himself, he simply is
