So apparently I'm self-obsessed
My result said that I'm self-obsessed. But so what, is loving yourself really a red flag? It's probably better than most the other options. What did everyone else get?

Oof. Mine says that I'm too independent AKA I have commitment issues. I mean, that makes sense, I guess I just like things done in a specific way. Sometimes I know I get really caught up doing something on my own that I don't ask for help, and I know that's something I can get better at.
I think it's important that you at least recognize that some people think these traits are red flags. If you're aware of it, then it might be easier to catch it in the moment when it upsets someone.

Oh my god I got the same thing! I have so much trouble trusting people, and would honestly just rather be alone. Might have something to do with the fact that my family kinda preferred my brother and expected absolute perfection from me and just generally made me feel bad all the time. But, hey, siblings in commitment issues unite! 😃

so sry abt ur family thing :( and I completely understand what you mean abt not trusting people easily
my friends promise not to tell my secrets all the time and then spill the beans to everyone so you can probably see why I kinda have trouble trusting others

I got that too, idk whether it's good or bad. I came here after the red flag filter trend, I got basic, commitment issues, unreliable, people pleaser and stalks their ex, broo few were right but i needed to confirm whether all were right. I don't wanna be called basic😭 okay maybe I am but that's okayy. Yeah also the overthinking. I need to work on myself I guess. I feel like I'm not a good person.

I feel like I should already known that I had this result too. I think that no one should really try and destroy their commitment issues, because independence is a good thing, however, it is bad because, really, it's sort of leading someone on. Anyways, that was my two cents.

I got the same answer! TBH I like working by myself. It's easier to concentrate . . . is that bad?

Samee T^T
Also same, would not have liked to know that since I'm an introvert and was bragging as an idoitic kid that I didn't have any friends and was alone half the time. But yeah. I'm pretty chatty once I get to know people, and I was sooo much more depressed when I was alone so perhaps it's true that I love people, and shouldn't be alone so much..? IDK.

omg mine also said i'm self-obsessed! this is my worst nightmare for real, lol. i'd rather have "can't be alone" or "commitment issues"" anyday. but i do think you're right OP self-love isn't inherently a red flag, just do what you're doing but maybe pause sometimes to ask if you're loving other people as much as yourself. maybe also ask why your prone to self-love so much--do you feel like you don't get it enough from other people? i think that's why i'm like this honestly

I got you love people (read: can't be alone) That is true on a good way I always give people 2nd chances because I just can't help that I love everyone. But the negative thing is my love for "everyone" can get annoying sometimes I want us locked to the hip which my friends have told me before. Like I remember I few yrs ago I could not stand being alone I always had to be with someone or talking to someone and sometimes meant invading their personal life/space. I would call my friends or people I don't even talk anymore at 12:00 am or 3:00 am or 7:00 am just because I didn't want to be alone. Even though people loved that I loved them. The love that I gave them just showed that I was desperate for some type of companionship or something. Because one time I was following my bff the entire day because I didn't want to be lonely she told me "Go get a boyfriend or something" I was hurt but it was true I was clinging on to people and bad. Soon my parents noticed that, so they isolated me from my phone, TV etc. I took that time to realize how lonely I was and at the end of the day I realized sometimes I need time for myself and so do others. So gave people their space and that was when my friendships returned back and I lived a healthier life. I didn't change because of my results because this happened like 2 or 3 years ago I changed because there were times where people just didn't like my presence and it because of my clingyness. This is my story

Mine said that I love my friends too much and that I have a fear of abandonment. Like, Excuse me for loving my friends and family.

So I got that I’m self obsessed. I get that I care about myself but when has loving yourself been a crime? I’m not thinking about myself day and night, but I also don’t want to embarrass myself. I also didn’t like how it told me to get on a therapy thing, my mental health is fine, thank you very much, so that was a little offending. If I truly liked the guy I would go out of my way for him, not too busy daydreaming about myself. I know I might be a little preppy and all, but it’s called personality. But thanks for the quiz anyway.

It's not bad to love yourself I agree but there are times where you can put yourself in front in the which can be called self obsessed, But the positive word for it is confidence.

To be honest I thought it would say overprotective, if anyone hurt someone I love, they're dead.

Mine says "You love people (read: can’t be alone)." !! I actually didn't find this a bad trait at all, I'm happy with my result. :-]
Test says I basically struggle to love myself or something, or that I can't stand loneliness, but i don't think it's true, people are just so unique and lovely and I love everyone around me, all the better when people I love are around. Not interested in dating but friendships are my world!!

My result said ''You love people (read: can't be alone)'',but I really care about friends and family so I don't think it's a red flag. Still, it's better than other red flags.

My red flag is being too independent, and I get that. We need community, we're social creatures, but capitalism makes a lot of us fractured and obsessively self-reliant and antisocial. Wish we had some third spaces/commons left and could afford to build mutual aid groups of people who care about each other and work together!

nah its not a red flag because if your partner hates you or brings you down or is toxic in any way you look in the mirror and are like "yea no there wrong I'm like the most flashy the hottest and the most amazing thing they have ever been with there lucky to have me" and then if they dump you you say "your just mad your never gonna be like or look like perfection" (or at least that's what I did am I the toxic one!?!)

I think people get self-obsession and self-interest mixed up often. Self-obsession means you only care about yourself and aren't putting others first. Self-interest means that by working hard to become your best self, (Theoretically, say you become a millionaire by working by yourself knowing you would be rewarded in the future. You could've done a big business allowing you to give people jobs and donate money to people who need it!) you can help others because of what you have accomplished by yourself.

Loving yourself isn’t a bad thing, but too much of anything can throw your life off balance. Self-confidence is key, but if everything revolves around you, you might be closing yourself off to other perspectives, relationships, and valuable lessons. Think about this: a mirror can reflect you, but it can't show you the world. If this result made you reflect, take it as an opportunity to grow, not as a judgment. The key is balance—love who you are, but stay curious about others too. In the end, self-love shines brightest when it also lights up those around you.

It sounds like you're owning it, and honestly, loving yourself isn't a red flag—it's important for self-confidence and growth! Self-obsession can sometimes be a fine line, but as long as it doesn't hurt others, embracing who you are is totally valid. As for what others got, I’m curious to hear their results too!

Nothing's wrong for caring for yourself, it's just when you put yourself in front of a loved one or a friend so many times is when it can be a problem.
