Traveling is something I live for. It’s been a great joy in my life to see and experience the variety of nature and culture around the world. You can certainly warp it into an extravagant experience though. I’m struggling to see where narcissism comes in though - maybe travel with the intent of showing off on social media?

Not sure if I'd call it narcissism, but whenever I hear about friends of mine (mostly friends of friends to be fair) going to Japan after they'd just gone on a cruise to Antarctica, and the trek through the Alps is also already planned, it makes me feel uneasy, but I can't quite put my finger on why. I've always felt uneasy around people that spend so much money on themselves and their own pleasures.

Would you be less uneasy if those people earned less money or gave more money away?

I'm unsure why I feel uneasy, but I guess I'd be less uneasy when someone has a lot of money and they spend it on things that others can enjoy too. That's just me though, I'm not trying to influence what people do with their money.

What do you, or friends you are not uneasy around, spend your money on?

I give away a lot, or buy people things I know they'd enjoy. I feel bad spending a lot on myself if I know other people need it more. Or maybe it's a selfish thing to make me feel less bad when I do spend on myself.
