When I was 20 I was diagnosed by a psychologist with having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. At first I was in denial about but over time I come to terms with my narcissism and the diagnosis started to make sense to me. A lot of my problems can be traced back to my unrealistic self image and lack of ability to relate with others.
There’s a lot of stigma towards NPD. I hope by making this thread I can help others understand that having NPD doesn’t inherently make you a bad person and NPD hurts the person with it as well.
I’m a cook at burger king. I don’t see how NPD would affect that. It’s way more detrimental then beneficial as all the benefits are imagined. I don’t know if any careers suited for someone with NPD.
I’d have guessed you might have been attracted to a job on-stage. Actor/musician/…
I can see where your coming from. Who wouldn’t want to be famous?
Me. I hate being in the spotlight. My own wedding made me very uncomfortable because I was the centre of attention, one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life
