so true. defining yourself and ignoring your community/relationships is pretty much narcissism/psychopathy. you need to have feedback about your self-constructed identity: are you really that virtuous? are you really that smart? are you really that good looking?

if you need to keep insisting that you really are virtuous, smart and good looking and you ignore feedback, then you are living in a delusion.

obviously don’t go too far and let society define you or be a people pleaser: you need some self respect/awareness. maybe existential crises are the universe’s way of signalling to you that the reason you are suffering and feel misaligned is because you are living in a delusion and need to adjust your distorted perception of reality.
