Is being a model and modeling for people to constantly flatter you the ultimate narcissism?

It could be, but I doubt it applies to everyone who models. I had an old friend who designed, made and modeled her clothes. Coolest chick ever, very humble, she just really liked fashion and design.
Narcissism is so much more pervasive and all encompassing than that.

I wouldn't label them all Narcissists.

But defo probably have some narcissistic traits, like needing constant admiration and validation. I mean think about it, the entire industry thrives on appearance and external praise, it's the purpose of it, the reason they are on display and strutting in front of people. It could depend on the individual's underlying motivations I suppose, but I would think they need strong egos.

No, narcissists are in every group of people but no one group is all narcissists

I'm not sure, maybe for some people who are attractive it's just a way to make cash. I think it's linked to prostitution in a lot of cases as well. Narcissism obviously plays a part.

No it’s a way of living for some people who are passionate about fashion and style … perhaps for some they enjoy the vanity side of it

Wouldn’t call that narcissism

Narcissism is needing social media for validation everyday for full view of everyone to see 🥀

And that sounds exhausting
