Narcissists continually boast about those they wish to be like as though the glory of others belongs to them. If they can just rub elbows with those they love to boast about, they might be considered by others just like them.
When we are focused on Christ we will love everyone but be impressed by no one. Only Christ impresses us, He gets all the glory all the time.
James 4:16
"But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil."
The desire to be like other men because of their perceived greatness, is effectively boasting about yourself and the association with those whom you hold in high regard.
Stop it, stop elevating men begin to desire to be like Christ and He will mold you as you should be.
Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
