Most personality tests are based on self-report data. OCD makes you less able to see yourself objectively though, so even if you got one you wouldn’t have certainty. You would just doubt the psychologists’ credentials, or whether you answered truthfully, and on and on…

Yes very true! That’s what my therapist told me and what I keep telling myself, so I’m resisting the temptation. It would just feed the cycle :(

If you were a true narcissist, you wouldn't even be asking this question. A true narcissist cares only about themselves. They are physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive. But THEY are the victim. They will not apologize or take responsibility for anything. And God help you if you don't give them what they want or tell them no. If you wont give them what they want, they will take it and blame you. I once dated a guy who was a narcissist and it was horrible.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that experience, I’ve dated one as well and know firsthand what it’s like. I hope you’ve recovered well!

Hi this is a similar obsession with me but it's with having schizophrenia I understand I don't have it but somehow I have like one thing and then I somehow think I have it. But someone who is a true narcissist has low empathy so they won't even be asking if they are one and in general OCD and narcissism aren't super common together it seems like from when I researched. So I feel like this might be an obsession cuz I have some similar ones like this. Narcissists use emotional manipulation and emotional abuse to get what they want which is complete control over their individuals and victims. And individuals associated don't do this.

I've never been diagnosed with OCD, but have thought for a long time that I do have it. I've tried to bring it up in therapy but have been shot down as "OCD tendencies". Luckily I'm with a new therapist and am planning to bring it up again. Especially after reading a lot of your posts, I'm really resonating with them. Especially my anxieties and obsessions with my health. God forbid I feel any weird pain or ache, I instantly think I'm dying. Sometimes I get a weird pain in my head and think it's a stroke or aneurysm. Ill go as far as the perform the stroke FAST test. This happens multiple times a day. I also have HUGE anxieties about death and my mortality. If I think about it too much, I get this deep cold pit in my stomach and spiral. Even talking about it causes me sooo much distress. I'm just worried I'll be dismissed or told I'm just self diagnosing because I related to a post online. But if any of this sounds accurate, please let me know. I'd love to be reassured of my obsessions rather than just dismissed as being anxious.

i’m terrified to get a diagnosis. What if it’s not actually OCD??? I made a list of reasons why i think so and then i think what if im lying and i actually don’t do this stuff and am just dramatic and i just want to have OCD so then my thoughts are justified?? I have struggled in the past year with Pocd & Rocd and then also some bits of thinking im constantly in danger or being watched? I’m scared.

I have really bed harming intrusive thoughts and sometimes feels like it’s feeling! The thoughts happening every day and the hardest part is that I’m testing my self in head all the time if that’s what I am or want!!! Also, so many times feels like I’m been tricking myself and doctor or people and maybe I don’t have OCD, just that maybe it’s me really!!!! How can I know who I am really 🥹???!!??
