I’m too afraid to ask because it seems really stupid or pathologising or whatever, but are these normal aspirations? (lemmy.ml)

Or narcissistic behavior like some people have said?

From my friend Jaiden that I posted about, just curious.

My other guess would be she's ~~a narcissist~~ exhibiting narcissistic behavior and thinks everyone else will think more highly of her if she says she values those things.

All of those ideals embody the most selfish, toxic, and self-defeating ideas that we all carry to some degree as a result of this capitalist, consumerist culture we exist within. To see someone claim to believe every single one so unconditionally is wild to me.

I see nothing in there about friendship, love, or community, or finding satisfaction in struggle, or good health, or humility, or responsibility, or charity.
