Are Aries Traits Linked to Narcissism

Aries individuals often seek self-identity and confidence, which can sometimes resemble narcissistic traits. However, healthy self-love is different from narcissism. Astrology suggests that Aries's focus on asserting themselves is part of their self-discovery process, not necessarily narcissism.

Sigmund Freud believed that some narcissism is an essential part of all of us from birth and was the first to use the term in the reference to psychology.

Andrew Morrison claims that, in adults, a reasonable amount of healthy narcissism allows the individual's perception of his needs to be balanced in relation to others

Xun, perhaps Aries would love to be right all the time - but is it self-love ? And astrologically, in Aries the Self is trying to identify itself - itz not discovered yet.

ehhh i've seen WAY more unconfident aries than confident. i think what it is though is that aries always look like they know what's going on (or appear to be in control of the sitch) when really they're just as clueless as the next person.

if we're talking about narcissistic as in vain then yeah, im guilty of making faces at myself in the mirror for hours...but dont tell anyone

It seems by Ur definition that itz all about "Self" - but what happens when this "Self" is all over the place ? Self is more magnificent in Leo or say Libra - so arent they supposed to be more narcissistic ?

My thoughts are that most of us are not used to feeling good about ourselves because we have been told that it is selfish...but it isn't. As spiritual beings, it is healthy and very important to be joyful in our accomplishments and successess. Same goes with loving thy self. For if we do not learn how or know how to love ourselves we cannot possibly love someone else. *We can only share what we have to give.

Sounds like a great time coming up for you - don't you just hate set ups?! My friends get in a relationship, all of a sudden, I should be in one too - the 'so what did you think of him' questions become frequent - phsss!

No let's see if we can think up any schemes...

hmmmm,

-- you have the sh*ts?
-- you're no longer interested in dating as you're in love with her husband or your friend as you think you're gay (this happened in real life - we thought it was a prank at the time!)?
-- get a series of freaky interview style questions to ask - hehe
-- one that works well, pretend to cancel - then turn up - get the waiters to surprise the table wit happy bday song, then hide at the back and appear...

hehe - obviously I have too much time on my hands, eh

have fun!
