Statistically vast majority of us probably are. The DSM has been contemplating removing Narcisism as a diagnosis altogether because it's so common in the USA they question if it can really be considered mental illness. (Mental illness is partly defined by being abnormal). So if you are a narc... don't worry you're normal š That said...given OCD is based on insecurities we probably are less narcissistic than the general population but I'm sure still pretty narcissistic in our own way.

Oh nvm saw it was put back... lol still don't wry though. Like all you have to do is peruse social media to see how common narcissism is. "Look at me, I'm at a place doing a thing!" (NOTICE ME PLEASE! ) The "like" button is basically narcissist crack. I honestly feel like I might be a little because I get so needy for social media approval it's pathetic. So I don't post my pics online and I stay private. It helps to reduce my anxiety and need validation. Whether that is narcissism or not I don't know but I am happier without it (or at least significantly less of it).

I am really scared of being a narcissist.. Iāve been in therapy and I feel like my therapist isnāt taking it seriously:( like if I am a narcissist I want to work on it Iām just really scared of harming people.. including my partner:( I donāt want be the reason he needs therapy and I donāt want to ruin his life. Iām scared Iām manipulating him somehow to want to be with me and I just donāt know what to do. I NEED to get this fixed before our relationship progresses but I just feel like Iām not being heard by therapists/psychiatrists We want to get married and have children but I donāt even know if I will be a good partner or mom. If I do have narcissism I just think it would be best if I left him alone :( I donāt know what to do I know that people will say that narcissists donāt care about hurting other people or things like that but I just donāt know how true that is. I also have really mean judgmental, cruel, and hateful thoughts about people and I feel like that means Iām a narcissist

Iāve said and done so many hurtful things growing up, especially in elementary and middle school. I was very passive aggressive and mean for a majority of my life, and Iāve hurt peoples feelings. Iām no longer like that now, but every single thing Iāve ever done wrong replays in my head constantly, from the moment I wake up to the second I go to sleep. I know I deserve to feel the chronic guilt and shame, so I feel even more guilty pitying myself. Itās eating me alive, Iām so scared. I know people must hate me, and they have every right to. feel like I donāt deserve to have moments of happiness because Iāve taken that ability away from someone before. Iām not diagnosed, but this has been going on for years and Iām scared to talk to anyone about it because I fear they would look at me differently knowing Iāve hurt someoneās feelings. I feel like a monster. Itās ruining my life and I donāt know what to do.

I have sent nudes before when I was younger and I am really struggling with the fact that I have sent them because it makes me feel like I am such a bad person and I donāt deserve certain things. I try my hardest to be a good person and do the right things but I obviously have made lots and lots of mistakes. I cannot get over these mistakes Iāve made because I judge myself so hard for them and itās making it hard to function.
