24% Normal
18 Comments

I am a 65 year old ARAB man , who is retired (emotionally and psychologically retarded could be as well )and think waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much about what others think about me or my family (Since I am an arab any insult to my family is an insult to me) ,like for example , some foreign people are coming to visit my wife and me and my wife wants to serve drinks to them(like normal people do ) , yet I became so ANGRY and CRAZY telling her that I want to keep the IMAGE of the ARAB and MUSLIM man who doesn't serve drinks (I am so CONSERVATIVE)because I am narcisstic, think way too much about what others think of me or my family . I am also withdrawn and an almost introvert . Am I in the normal range of narcissim ?, also is it normal for people to see my son's mistakes and NOT SEE MY MISTAKES ?!, like I have a terrible personality due to my mom's upbrining .Also I don't think that I will die soon (My son HOPES so , so that he can have freedom and do what he always wanted to do ), I think I deserve a punishment for what I do to my wife and family ...please give me a terrible illness !.
Do you think it's normal?

Well I happen to have microsopic observations of the enviroment I'm in , especially my sons . When I'm SO ANGRY I CRUSH THEM WITH WORDS that are SO BITTER , like I tell them stuff and (they probably will put what is said in one ear and out of the other ...) , but I know deep down that I myself have MANY ISSUES ,like the things I tell my sons are mostly the things people should tell me !.
One question. Do you wear a turban?

I am the typical manly narcissistic man, who thinks about the IMAGE more than I think about the person , like my 28 year old son who still lives with us goes clubbing and with friends ,he comes at 3 am in the morning and I stay awake,then argue with him when he comes..why he came that late . My other son, doesn't have a life (part of me is happy about that, so I wouldn't have to worry when he gets out of the house or get jelous because he has a life and I
m 60 something and don't )I don't pray and I'm
not as religious , so why is it a problem for my 28 year old adult son to stay out late till this hour.I don't wear a turban. I don't have alot of friends , I only have 2 or 3 who I see very very rarely, so I'm not like other men who have friends with his wife and wbo bring thier friends home for fun. I am introverted,paranoed,narcisstic,negative,very observative.I was only a banker(Employee),so I couldn't bring my wife expensive things like almost everyone I know does.I am retired now (and very weird that I think highly of myself),even though my wife is the one who brings money to the family , and cooks, and see what I need, what my mother need , what my sons need,if aby should get the credit, it would have to be my wife , not me.
lol dude go parachutin but dont bring the parachute with u best way to die
it's an arab thing. i got an arab family. somehow, my mother and i are the only non-arabs in my family. i never understood it either.
dude your a fucking dumbass. Your not narcissist you just have whats called a self-image, you know a basic component of the human psyche? You probably don't notice your own mistakes because your a conservative arab, muslim, so i'm guessing you are stubborn and thick headed. You think you're the only person who thinks about what others think of them? You're fucking mistaken my good man.
I'd like to say you aren't normal but I think, unfortunately, it is normal within the Arab culture. You should read the book Princess. Maybe it will help you see what an asshole you are and how terrible it is for you and others to treat the women in your lives the way you do. I also hope you drop dead unless you change your ways.
Obviously, since you recognize these things in yourself, you realize that you aren't acting the way you really want to - in order to live your life to fullest, happiest extent that you could be.
You're just like all of us humans, imperfect and struggling for happiness. Take things slow, and realize more about yourself. Alot of your emotional issues probably have alot to do with how you were raised (at least mine definately do).

PS: I'm sure your son does not hope you will die, I'm sure he loves his dad and couldn't imagine him actually being gone.
Man at 65 youre asking this? well at least you realise that something is wrong so you can take the necessary steps to change it.
You've a lot of headfuck psycho-text language going on. I think if you buy too much into that you can make yourself problems. Just do some mindless stuff every week -- excercise like swimming, but intense -- or maybe meditation except maybe you'd just keep thinking..
