Do you feel you prioritize your own interest over others without regard. Without empathy?
Maybe you are not a narcissist. If you say you don’t like narcissism, maybe you value treating others well, being considerate of their feelings, and care about meaningful others without excessive self-centeredness or entitlement.

the fact is that empathy can also be used to manipulate or not? i don’t understand if i’m bad or good i also hated two personality disorders i have schizoid and schizotypal but i accepted them now

I had roommates in my early 20s. One girl had borderline personality disorder. I really liked her as a person, even though I didn’t understand self harm/cutting. But I could tell she was going through a lot of pain and realized it was a problem. But whenever she was in emotional pain from a fight with her boyfriend, she would have this need to self harm. I really think it sometimes the need overpowers her cause she was trying to stop that behavior.
I don’t know. I think personality disorders are misunderstood. Sure, there are those who don’t work on their symptoms. But everyone’s different.
Maybe I’m naive, cause my partner has a different opinion.

I’m almost 80% sure that both my father and especially my brother have some narcissistic traits.
My brother could be a full fledged narcissist
As they say, If you think whether you’re a narcissist,
probably your’e not.
Most of them don’t care are they narcissists or no.

I try to stay with someone for a long time (schizoid) and not to say strange things (schizotypal) but I suffer if I don’t behave as the personality disorder “wants”, in my opinion the schizoid personality disorder puts boundaries and does not allow full enjoyment of life because you are alone, and the schizotypal one makes you look strange and he too does not allow a healthy relationship with others. I honestly don’t want to be a narcissist too, I see myself as a bit manipulative and this is what alarms me, but maybe I’m getting confused because I have a disorganized thought. i thought i confuse empathy with manipulation because being empathetic brings you closer to others like manipulation does too and one more thing that is slipping my mind now. these are doubts that come to me by themselves and that I wish I didn’t get. maybe sometimes i’m empathetic and sometimes manipulative like normal people, there’s a lot of pimping and smart people around, anyway sorry for boring you.

but I saw the video of a psychiatry in which he said that narcissists ask for help but only if they are depressed because of their conduct because no one cares about them
You can drive yourself mad at all the possible things you could be diagnosed with or you could take your worries to a professional and sort it out

very true I add it to the list but I have to understand how to ask this, it can be said that I have written more things here and in another forum than what I voluntarily said to psychiatry, I made a list in notepad type sheets and I reached 13 medium-sized pages, in fact I didn’t think about it anymore every now and then I doubt

Regardless of what type we might fall into, the essential cure is the same: filling up the internal void inside.
Sometimes I feel like I can and I do for a while… But otherwise its like I fall asleep and wake up feeling ‘dead inside’ again.

You sound more like ocd on narcissm than npd
I met several users with ocd, I hate how it reduces people, once I asked psychiatry if I had doc because I was afraid of being gay and violent, homosexual ocd and aggressive ocd, she told me that doc is visible, giving me an example , if when you walk, be careful where you put your feet, looking at the bricks, avoiding stepping on the joints or similar things, I don’t remember what I answered her, but sometimes, occasionally in the past, it had happened to me, a bit for fun, a bit for precision, but I was a child or a teenager
lucky for me i rarely feel completely empty inside and hopeless, usually there is boredom, anxiety, anger, envy or nervousness when i am down, there are times when i feel better like now, i dont want to overdo it
