Problems arising narcissism in Singapore .

Firstly, narcissism in Singapore is growing, and it brings about certain problems. Firstly , it has an influential and contagious effect. It also makes them go over their limits, suffering from stress as a result. Narcissism makes Singapore more selfish, they become very self- centred, Singapore becomes a closed country.

Narcissism has an influential effect. For example, my brother thinks very highly of himself; he is very self-obsessive. Naturally, as I spend most of my life with him, I turn out narcissistic too. And this is applicable for the whole of Singapore; if narcissism is this easily spread, it may be contagious. Narcissism can be spread widely and is a problem, as narcissism would get hold of the whole of Singapore. Then, it would be difficult trying to reverse it.

Narcissism makes Singapore go over their limits. When one Singaporean is narcissistic , he would be overly indulgent in self-gratification, and go over his humanly limits. For example, when one is overly obsessed, he would want to drive himself further, and it brings about a very stressful life. If one cannot control the stress levels, the social and psychological problems of Singapore would be alarmingly inclining. Thus, the stress comes about narcissism.

Narcissism makes people more selfish, and self-centred. Everyone becomes too self-conscious, they become self-sufficient and self-reliant. For example, my brother, is he becomes too narcissistic, he would become very closed, very introvert, and self-driven. This way, he would not get much interaction. The same goes to Singapore, if narcissism is abound, the problems that come by might be a closed economy or a very weak country.

Narcissism has its advantages and disadvantages, and some problems include social problems, economical problems, and its spreading.

TO BE CONVERTED INTO T3 ACE REFLECTIVE ASPECT.
I want to convert this post into an ACE as I feel that there is much reflection and I empathise with it. So this post revolves around narcissism in Singapore and the problems it brings about. Well, aside mentioning all the problems and criticising them, I feel that the narcissism in Singapore is actually very real. To me, I did not think that Singapore was narcissistic, and I thought that the government would take care of the country, and us modernised citizens would just have to finish our half-completed homework. I all along thought that Singapore was just a fine country growing as per normal, very relaxed. Little did I know that there were many factors affecting the mentalities of us humans. So now being aware of the present narcissism, the overdrive to work harder and harder is no longer surreal. Many a times I tell myself to relax, and not get trapped in narcissism. Just as a medicine is helpful yet harmful in overdose, narcissism is positively effective; be it in work, or perseverance, it can be very harmful at a great amount as well. Similarly, I hope I can control the amount of narcissism, as I do not want to be stressed out. Instead of narcissism  controlling us, I hope we can all put in effort controlling narcissism. You know, like a sword, if you know how to advantageously wield a sharp blade, it turns into your advantage entirely. The same goes for such narcissism; if we can effectively control this element of narcissism, no doubt it will do us good. Now when I do my work I take breaks, and know when to take breaks when to concentrate. Narcissism involves a small element of time management as well, in my opinion. If we can manage our time well, narcissism will have no grip on us. From now on, I decide not to work over my limits, and know when to stop. I used to think working beyond my capabilities equates to a hard-working me, but now I realise that moderate narcissism would be just fine. So please Singaporeans, master narcissism and not let it master you.
