I love her music but she was clearly narcissistic as hell, obsessed with her meaningless relationship with Fielder who she thought , for some idiotic reason, was the only guy for her in the world.
WTF. Why she couldn't move on from that pathetic excuse for a relationship I'll never understand, makes her look like a really weak person to me.

It's painfully clear that you have no idea what a narcissist is. I'll just leave it at that.

Yes.

your're so stupid. I mean just stupid.
shareha! yeah. based on the first definition given I am going to have to agree that she was narcissistic...but as celebrity artists go she was not the MOST narcissistic I've ever seen.
On November 6, 2012 god blessed America...again.
I think she's on the opposite side of the spectrum. I'm pretty sure she was diagnosed as having borderline personality disorder and she has explicitly stated that she took anti-depressants for bipolar disorder, and presumably her eating disorder.
shareYou clearly don't know what a narcissist is then. You really should be quite embarrassed.
shareMost ignorant thing I've heard in awhile. Don't play with words you don't know anything about.

narcissistHa! ...that doesn't seem too far off the mark. Although I would not go as far as to describe her as "Narcissistic as *beep*" or more narcissistic than the average celeb.
noun
1. a person who is overly self-involved, and often vain and selfish
Just like to point out no one has offered a reason as to why she is not narcissistic. They have only stated OP is wrong or that he doesn't know what narcissistic is. I'm staying in the middle here and just gonna say you lot are *beep* at having arguments. Good day.
shareI gave the definition of what a narcissist is. Here's more...
1. a person who is overly self-involved, and often vain and selfish.
2. Psychoanalysis. a person who suffers from narcissism, deriving erotic gratification from admiration of his or her own physical or mental attributes.
Amy was the opposite of someone with narcissistic traits. Just in the first 5 minutes in the movie alone, you can tell that she is not a narcissist.("Look at me, I look ugly. Look at you, you look lovely") This is why the OPer comes off as a complete idiot.
If you really believe Amy was narcissistic, please explain. Your argument will be easily destroyed.
I agree I do not think narcissist is the correct word. I suppose one could argue she was self involved and selfish by the way she lived her life. However, I would classify her selfish and self involved ways as more self-loathing, self-destructive, self-sabotaging.
I also suppose one could argue her life was destroyed by her own self-involved actions but again just because the words can be attributed to her does not mean she fits the word behind the definition.
She was very co-dependent rather than just dependant, IMO. She was more destructive in her relationship than she was alone, or so it seemed. Sadly, without being depended/able to depend upon (sometimes, virtually as a lifeline), she felt alone, inadequate, insecure, and unworthy.
In no way was Amy a narcissist, period. When you think about narcissistic singers, people like Madonna, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, etc. come to mind. Do you think Amy was anything like these people? Of course not!! She was a nurturer. Someone that was willing to give herself to somebody or somebodies. Unfortunately, she gave herself to Blake which pretty much destroyed her. She was always critical of herself and never ever told anybody how "great" she was. She never had that "diva" mentality. A lot of mediocre people like to puff themselves up once they get some fame. Amy was embarrassed by it. The total opposite of a narcissist. The OPer is a moron.
shareNot sure why you responded to my post (to me) asking me if I believe Amy was like the singers you named????
I did respond to you in agreement that Amy was not a narcissistic person.
I chose different ways of saying what you are in response to me but it was just the same.
I won't sugarcoat it and say "oh poor Amy, she never did anyone wrong." Her business was her voice and there were many ventures that relied on her voice to make them money, whether they were personal or business associates. Her failure to perform in joint ventures/contracts cost money - that could be negative for her but also for an entity that contracted with her for the use of her talent. Friends, doctor(s), associates tried to get involved and she shut them out or refused their assistance - that would fall on her, they can only say so much the rest falls on her.
Sure there are people that can be blamed for assisting her fall harder and deeper but she was not an innocent victim who played no hand in her downfall, she played the biggest role.
That doesn't make her a narcissistic person but it does not mean she did not have a tendency to be selfish in some areas of her life either.
My bad. I know that you stated that you didn't think she was narcissistic. I just needed to explain to some of these morons why she isn't a narcissist and you just happened to chime in. Of course the OPer will not be able to defend his/her position so I just responded to your reply in hopes that the OPer would read it and maybe respond. lol.
Anyways, yes, Amy was somewhat selfish but in no way was she a narcissist.
Sorry, I thought you were responding to me directly. My apologies.
"she was clearly narcissistic as hell, obsessed with her meaningles"
Yeah you keep using that word, though you clearly don't know what it means
When someone is incredibly famous (and talented), it's easy to forget just how young they are.
She was really young when she was with her husband, and it's just as intense and obsessive and blind as I'd expect a great love to be. Add drugs and she never stood a chance.
Blake is the narcissist, if you want to label anyone in the film a narcissist.
