I have had such tendencies in the past at times. But I’m not a narcissist by definition, it’s just that I came up on the wrong path, and didn’t know anything else. One day someone came into my life and showed me something different and better. It’s like something was missing and I found it. I became a better and happier person to myself and the surroundings.

You showed me some empathy when I was struggling with using and complaining on here. I don’t know how you are with your loved ones. But your loved ones are what matter the most.

You are? Or you were? Just because you have had some traits at some point doesen’t mean that’s who you are for life. People can change.
You certainly don’t seem narcissistic on this forum.

Self diagnosis can be harmful in the majority of situations. One can’t simply watch a few videos and determine they have a personality disorder. That requires a diagnosis from a professional.
Now if you watch the videos and see a lot of things that you find relatable you can take it to your pdoc and let them explore that with you.

I struggle with the thought of being a narcissist and it used to haunt me pretty bad.
I would talk to a professional if you’re genuinely concerned, but you’re self reflection and awareness is a sign you aren’t one, but I’m no professional.
I really think you’re just being hard on yourself, I know I am hard on myself. So I know from my personal experience. You may be the type that would agree with anything negative said about you. No offense, but it’s possible. I’ve been this way before myself

Narcissism runs in my family
My brother and nephew are definite Narcissist so is my father.
I’ve got Aunts and cousins that fit the description as well.
My brother pointed out that I could be a Narcissist as well.
I don’t think I am but I could have traits here and there

This doesn’t sound like you: AI Overview
Yes, consistently refusing to admit when you are wrong is considered a significant sign of narcissistic behavior; it stems from a deep-seated inability to accept fault, take responsibility, and often manifests as blame-shifting or justifications to protect their inflated self-image.
Key points about narcissists and admitting fault:
- Avoidance of responsibility:
Narcissists actively avoid taking responsibility for their actions, even when clearly at fault, often deflecting blame onto others.
- Lack of empathy:
Their inability to understand or share others’ feelings makes it difficult for them to acknowledge how their actions might have negatively impacted others.
- Self-centered perspective:
Narcissists tend to see the world through their own lens, often justifying their behavior as being in their best interest, even if it harms others.

Hmmm… That describes me. 
Might be best to seek help/ an answer from a psychiatrist before saying that you are one. The fact you are looking for help is a great thing. Apparently everyone can have narcissistic traits.

i don’t know if i am a narcissist but sometimes i think i am. i find it hard to feel empathy a lot of the time - this is a new development since being diagnosed.
My brother was labeled as narcissist by a therapist and my mom doesn’t believe it lol
Its all your fault. Always was.
flexxin ma narc traits yoyoyo 
I doubt you’re a real narcissist. Maybe you were just going through some stuff. I tend to stay away from religion ect. I’ve thought that I was narcissistic at times when my attention was on myself. But there’s a long list of other narcissistic traits that I don’t have. Really just sounds like you got caught up in some stuff and came out the other end.
