Would it be considered narcissistic to...

Question

Have a large portrait of yourself or awards / achievements displayed in your home? I mean my ex suggested that I display my accomplishments to feel proud of myself and push myself to keep going.  My former modeling and educational degrees/certification are just something I'm proud of.

I think it's a great idea. If I ever purchase a home I plan to hang my degrees and certs in my office. I agree with your ex! Hang your portrait and awards in your home! Go for it! 🎉

Eh no lol. Thats just high self-esteem. Narcissistic thinking  is like believing u are above the rules or acting like it  or feeling like u deserve special treatment.  Also lot of people have some narcissistic traits so don't worry about it. U showing some pride and nothings wrong with that

Chris · Answer

It's ok to love yourself and have those affirmations the line is where it becomes an obsession and nothing else matters but validation and admiration. Your house is your own domain, not for others.

Christy · Answer

Nah, you should definitely post up your accomplishments that you're proud of! Let your home and walls be your safe space to remind you of the things you accomplished. They're great motivators I feel!

I was going to say the portrait would be weird, but it's different if it's from modeling.

Jojo · Answer

It is appropriate to display these achievements. It only becomes narcissistic when you start to feel as if these accomplishments make you better than everyone or you start to feel more in love with yourself vs having compassion for others. Display these accolades, but never forget you're still human like everyone else.

I don't believe so, I do believe that realizing self growth and taking a moment to appreciate that is awesome though. Self love and reflection are great.

Ian · Answer

Not all. I think if it's something your love and ate do damn proud of put it up for the world to see. If people think you bad for it screw them. Those are not the people you want in your life. I have all my nerdiest things just up everywhere in my home no matter how much it could put who knows how many people off. Your own happyness is what matters most.

Chris · Answer

As someone that can't stand attention seeking and sees it in alot of things people do...

No, I wouldn't say so. If they are ambitions and dreams you have had and worked hard to achieve then like your ex said they could serve as a motivational tool.

I would say having a large portrait of yourself could be seen in that way and it's not something people would do for that reason, but if you used to model then I think that makes it a bit different.

Displaying these things could be seen in a certain way to some people but the motive behind the action isn't for other people, it's for self motivational purposes, and I'm assuming the people that come to visit you in your house are people that know you, and would know the reasons behind displaying your achievements.

Does it matter if it is? If it makes you happy to showcase them, do it. If you really don't care but your friend is pressing you to...why? It is your space and achievements, do what makes you happy as long as it doesn't hurt another.

I think it's fine unless it's in excess
