Anyone else obsess over wether or not they are a narcissist. I think of times in my past that I was selfish and cocky and rude to others and sorry it makes me a narcissist. Most of the things occurred when I was a high schooler but I just feel like I really am a terrible and horrible person. I was just wondering if others obsess over this kind of thing

Yes!!

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 😉 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.

Scratch that... just found out it was already removed in 2010 so officialy not a mental illness anymore. Enjoy being normal lol...

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).

Everyone is selfish, cocky, and rude to others at times in there lives. We aren’t perfect so be easy on yourself.
