I'm an eleven year old Filipina with no clue on what narcissism is. But luckily Google is there to help me.

Narcissism is a term with a wide range of meanings, depending on whether it is used to describe a central concept of psychoanalytic theory, a mental illness, a social or cultural problem, or simply a personality trait. Except in the sense of primary narcissism or healthy self-love, "narcissism" usually is used to describe some kind of problem in a person or group's relationships with self and others. In everyday speech, "narcissism" often means egoism, vanity, conceit, or simple selfishness. Applied to a social group, it is sometimes used to denote elitism or an indifference to the plight of others. In psychology, the term is used to describe both normal self-love and unhealthy self-absorption due to a disturbance in the sense of self.

I understood when I read the word 'vanity' and 'selfishness.'
I'm probably in the middle. I'm not really vain, usually I don't care about what I look like to others. But sometimes I do. Sometimes, I'm very conscious of myself. I can be insecure most of the time. I'm neutral, I guess.
