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.

Confused
I have a question My OCD has felt almost invisible the past few weeks and now that is starting to stress me out a lot. Right now I am at a point in my treatement where I was asked if I would like to take medication. I told my therapist this week that I would like to try the medication based on how miserable I feel in during OCD flare ups. But now my brain always tells me that I only go throught this treatement etc. to seek attention and that I am just dramatic and should be ashamed of myself for wanting to take this medication. So now I am doubting if I should take the medication or not. Any advice?

Bad again
Pocd feels real again and I can’t tell if I’m actually attracted or not. can’t believe it got this bad again. I used to be able to go “no I don’t like that, go away” and now it feels like I do like it and want it, and it’s starting to linger longer so it feels more real. I’m avoiding checking but I’m so scared that what if it’s true. Is it because I have not been doing my exposures? I’m not sure, but every time a 14 year old person comes to my head, I keep hearing something go “they’re attractive” and it sounds like me so I panic, and it makes me even more scared because I’m not feeling bad about it??? I saw some kid at Walmart that had long black hair and my brain kept saying shit and no matter how much I say I don’t feel that way, it won’t shut up, i want to check 1000 times to make sure. But I know it’s not worth it. I’m trying so hard
