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).

Everyday I wake up, all my mind makes me think of is the stuff Iāve done in the past, like all day Iām in a constant cycle of judging who I used to be and it hurts so so much. I wish I never thought to do those things, I wish I had been more mature than how I was before, itās really lowering my self worth and I donāt think Iāve ever felt this miserable before, like last summer was the worst because I was dealing with this shit, I about almost ended my life over it, and I thought it would get better, which it did, but it didnāt last but for a while. As soon as it became 2025 I was going through it again, having constant cycles of āIām a good personā to āIām the worst person imaginableā and Iām so sick of it because I just want to feel like the good person l like to imagine myself to be, but I canāt because of shit I did in the past that I obsess over. Iāve cried and screamed so much over it and it seems like it will never leave me.

So recently i had really obsessive thoughts about something and once i got over it i kept bringing back more stuff to make myself feel like a bad person. Why am i doing this? Why do i need to look for something else to burden someone with once they have forgiven me

I look back at various past events in my life where I said or did things that I feel really guilty, disgusted, and ashamed about. I replay them in my head for hours. I feel anxious about crossing paths with people that I've hurt or upset in the past or who perceive me badly, to the point that I will avoid going out in public as much as possible. I go out for work, errands, appointments, and occasionally to eat (even though those all give me a lot of anxiety), but I avoid community events where people might recognize me and I tend to isolate myself. The only people I see regularly are my boyfriend, my parents, and my coworkers. I live in a small community and I'm worried about people confronting me publicly and proving what a bad person I must be.
