Maybe offtopic or not. (I'm sleepy)

I was planning to date someone, she works in the mental health department.

Reason(s) why I didn't go because she quickly send my a photo of her in somewhere in the middle of nowhere taking a selfie. Let me explain again, she wanted the show the environment, I couldn't see anything of the environment, because she was standing in middle taking a selfie.

For a women several years older than me (mid 30) and other selfies. This was the last straw. I'm not against it, but I don't want to show everything to anyone and I'm not a selfie person at all.

(Since I get enough photos from my sister already, taking a lot of shots.

Dude. She may have simply wanted to show you that she’s thinking of you. If you remotely diagnosed her as narcissistic and concluded from that that you need not spend time with her anymore sounds to me like the typical rationalizations of someone who is of the “avoidant“ relationship type. That would be my remote diagnosis ;)
