It is a narcissism that emanates from a supposed personal virtue augmented by a supposed intellectual clarity.
When you defend and say that what you believe, or claim to believe or say you believe—not what you do or how you act or what the results of your actions may be—defines you as a person and makes you “good.”

John: "You are what you say you are. You are what you proclaim your values to be, irrespective of their consequences. If you say you support something good but do nothing towards that good you are still good"

Get the Moral Narcissismmug. An individual who has excessively repackaged every spiritual and humanitarian ideology and turned it into their entire personality as an excuse to be intriguing to strangers while fleeing responsibilities. They can often found floating through music festivals on Molly with no idea where their children are.
Jennifer is a narciss-hippie so she won't won't be eating non-organic tomatoes but would prefer to snort synthetic drugs and rip hand rolled cigarettes for 72 consecutive hours.

Get the Collective Narcissismmug. Narcisse is an intellectual, well groomed handsome man who has a captivating smile. He has amazing style. His aesthetic is amazing! He has a cool, outgoing and chilled friends who loves good vibes, banter and laughter. He can be an out-going person but also likes to stay at home and do nothing.

Get the Narcissemug. A compulsive need to flaunt obscure vocabulary, academic jargon, or convoluted phrasing to appear intellectually superior, often at the expense of clarity, relevance, or truth. Symptoms include correcting others mid-argument over minor semantics, mistaking verbosity for depth, and prioritizing pedantry over persuasion. Typically found in debates where ego outweighs logic and the dictionary becomes a weapon of distraction.
Lexical narcissism is the arrogant belief that you're the only one who understands how words work, the only one educated enough to define philosophy, science, or language itself. It’s not intelligence—it’s intellectual gatekeeping. They don’t argue to clarify. They argue to assert dominance through semantics, hoping you’ll concede out of exhaustion, not reason. It's elitism masquerading as literacy.

You: “Once considered obscure academic theory, Marxism has completely infected academia and the curriculum.”
Them: “Define Marxism.”
You: “Sure, I'll entertain your silly little lexical narcissism game: Economic collectivism based on class conflict—are you seriously asking me this?”
Them: “That’s not true Marxism.”
