Since it is arguable your profile picture is a 'gym selfie' would you say your picture is "the worst!"0 -

A very generalized statement I might add.
At what point is a selfie 'a photo meant to show- off' and at what point is it simply just 'a photo'?
My point is, Does it really matter?0 -
Better question: who gives a flying F?0

Ah! So including your sarcasm, are you implicitly saying you do not believe a gym selfie is 'narcissistic' as the Brunel University study says? If this is true, would you care to elaborate?

Am I narcissistic? No
Am I proud of my achievements and how far I've come? Yes.0 -

Someone who may have a psychological problem. If the study holds true, then the problem may need to be addressed with someone who has the condition. Luckily, medical experts are very likely to be on hand to help. So if anyone feels they may fall under the category of people described in this study, do not fret, help is available.0 -

It stands to reason that if one has a psychological problem they may be unaware of their own mind. In the case of this study, one may not know they are narcissistic, even going as far as to denying it, due to psycological issues that have arisen. Is this a legitimate pursuit?0 -

That was the point. It was a joke. I think you might need this as well:

How about instead of posting a blog article you post the actual study. Do you have some medical degree that allows you to make these inferences about other people?
Me thinks OP likes to hear himself talk.

My education background is abnormal psyc. , I am fully aware of what the DSM states as criteria for a personality disorder. We can't based that off of post gym selfies. There are so many blogs out there with different info. Ive worked with narcissistic behavior before it's more than selfies/pictures. And this is a site where it is completely appropriate to post gym selfies to map progress. Inspiring others through our own struggles and victories is what keeps us going. keeps us motivated. Thanks for sharing your blog.0 -
Congratulations. You've been reported for trolling.
Excuse me, I'm here to stimulate a scientific and debatable topic that may require further understanding due to the recent findings of the Brunel University study. If you do not wish to view or be a part of this discussion, you are not required to engage in the discussion.0 -

Then where is the study so we can all see it and read it?
