I’m too afraid to ask because it seems really stupid or pathologising or whatever, but are these normal aspirations? (lemmy.ml)

Or narcissistic behavior like some people have said?

From my friend Jaiden that I posted about, just curious.

These are my exact aspirations. I don't typically say it out loud though, and I make no effort to achieve them

Ah, thanks. If you do not have NPD, this is probably normal

I'm so sorry, this was a joke- I do have NPD, among other diagnoses. Those aspirations are atypical, and sound potentially pathological in your friend's case, but it's only clinically significant if it's functionally impairing
