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!
Also thank you, I don’t relate to him at all so idk why I’m so worried about it, but that’s ocd for ya 🤷🏻♀️
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.
Does anyone else obsess over whether or not they have OCD? I noticed that I’ve been compulsively taking screening tests and sort of ticking off popular themes I’ve had to prove to myself that I’m not a faker.
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!
Very time I see a video on Instagram like “my toxic relationship with a narcissist” it trigger me so much ?I don’t want to be a narcissist
