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.

Very worried right now that I’m a narcissist! I fear that I only do good things for self gain / because I feel like I HAVE to. And that I don’t actually care about anyone or anything other than myself. Ugh!

i’m freaking out so much. i’ve been reading a lot about vulnerable / covert narcissism and i literally want to cry. these type of narcissists are introverted and sensitive and i am too. they’re also full of shame and i am too. and they want to be acknowledged which i do too. i feel so down when i’m left out. they also feel a lot of envy like me. i feel sick. i always thought not wanting to be the centre of attention made me LESS of a potential narcissist, but this new subtype of it has sent me spiralling so much. do these traits mean i’m a covert narcissist?!!! i’m so scared. i don’t think i’m entitled or super important... i just want to be enough and feel like i’m enough. i didn’t think that was narcissistic til reading all this stuff today. i’m generally a helper and try to be there for people to meet their needs. so i guess i just want people to look out for me aswell. but i read that these type of narcissists are like that too. i’m so upset rn, i don’t know what to do!!
