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.

Today I was officially diagnosed, and a lot of my thoughts all day have been “man, what if I actually don’t have it and I exaggerated my symptoms or something.” I had this thought especially because I hadn’t had a really bad episode in a while. But then sure enough, I had a little episode tonight. I feel like I might’ve brought it upon myself, at least in small part. Having difficulty separating OCD paranoia from real life problems to be considered with at the moment 👎🏻 Gonna sleep on it! 🙏🏻❤️

I’ve been diagnosed with ocd but sometimes I think I’m faking or I don’t actually, but idk if that’s the ocd tricking me or if it’s true
