Anybody experience it / is it common with sz? I know of delusions of being grandeur but I feel like I’m a narcissist when I am delusional. Or maybe all the time? Then I’m like can I be a narcissist if I know about it?
I often feel I am manipulative and doing the wrong thing, and then I’m filled with thoughts that the people around me want to be manipulated which why it’s so easy… like they’re weak and need a leader which takes form in me.
Sorry for rambling.

People for the most part are helpful, friendly etc, it comes down to if a person want to take advantage of that or not. We all need help along the way, sometimes we cross path with people for just a few moments and help them sort out a problem, or it could be a life long friend that we are constantly helping. It comes down to integrity:the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
They don’t want to be manipulated and most will tire of it at some point. Everyone does it to some extent, the key is how much you give back, is it all about you or are you willing to step in and go the distance to help your friends when they are in need?
having free will is to manipulate
