It turns out I'm a narcissist

Because all I do is think of myself and I’m obsessed with myself and I don’t think about anyone else. So I’ve been told how can you treat this?

I’m beginning to wonder if I’m going down the same route to be honest. So I’m not sure I can help. :grimacing:

Thanks @everhopful when we dealing with our illnesses sometimes cos it’s so painful psychologically we forget our surroundings. It’s easy to do. I know I’m like this it may seem so on the forefront. But I care even if people cannot see it.

I’m very sure that neither of you are narcissists. Narcissists are generally manipulative and lack empathy. They need admiration and compliments from others like they need the air they breathe. That’s not you, ish, and it’s not you either, everhopeful. :wink:

I get mean when I am forced to be sociable. It also gives me headaches to be mean. So I withdraw and self interest is all I have left. I’m told to relax but being tense is a long time habit. Are we the same here?

That’s understandable chordy. At least when you talk to someone you display an interest in them. I on the other hand talk about myself throughout the convo :flushed: Sometimes I don’t even realise it.

Maybe you don’t like the conversation and change the subject to yourself on purpose. When someone is complaining a lot, I defensively start protecting myself. It’s only natural even if the complaints aren’t aimed at anyone there.

Ain’t the worst quality,

Have to be real about it if your really in love with yourself, or if it’s just a front for some deeper issue

I think you are to hard on yourself, think you are just trying to find your way, but it is good to remind us all to think of others

Who made your friend an accurate analyst?

First off , he’s smart. He’s the guy I had the fling with LOL

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that’s vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
