narcissism

Ok, I just noticed, there are a few definitions of the word narcissist.

1. Technically, there is the disorder diagnosis algorithm, from the DSM. There is little ambiguity here, besides the arbitrariness of the algorithm.

2. The literary analogy, of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own likeness.

3. A selfish person, who is self-aware, and intentional about their practice. So I have been quite confused by the common usage of this definition, as it is not the same as the first two.

I am certainly the third sort of person! Whether it is correctly labelled narcissism or not, is a separate question. I don't think I am much of the first two, but that is also a separate question.

don't be bored in bed

New rule : don't be bored in bed. This is not about sex. I mean, if I have the luxury of being in a bed, I should either be 

(a) losing consciousness
(b) pleasured

b1, thinking about something interesting
b2, ( ok the sex part goes here )

So, the point is to never be lounging about without interesting mental activity, unless ahem, or falling asleep.

I probably got conditioned to normalise boredom in bed due to too many TV socials last year.
