I’m pretty sure I have narcissism in some form. Just something I have to dial down.

That’s about the only problem I don’t have.

I actually got narcissistic put on my file from a hospital. One visit, I talked about how things affected me instead of talking about others. My pdoc and therapist both said there’s no way. Still, I’m stuck with that on my mental health file.

Yes, I’ve wondered that about myself and I asked my pdoc if he thought I was and he said no.

I guess there is some narcissim to grandiose delusions, but i dont think my functioning or self esteem is high enough to be narcissitic.

I sometimes wonder if I lack empathy I also wonder if its something that can be improved. I think so.

I do have empathy don’t get me wrong… But I think I have room for more of it over time

Oh yeah. Especially when i get the two female voices in my head, going “bless you” “arnt you sweet” , “your the angel the earth never wanted”.

It honestly confounds me where it comes from. Cos most of the time - i get told off for putting myself down all the time.

Im the most empathatic person out there. I always put others first before my own needs most of the time. Maybe its just my brain compensating.

Without mentioning names there are a couple of Narcissists in my family.
As long as you don’t cross them then they are harmless.

I am an empath, the opposite of Narcissism.

A bit of narcissism is healthy…you get the job done with confidence.

Taken to the ‘Nth’ degree, however and you will get into trouble socially and job-wise I believe.
