You feel guilt, empathy, have regard for the needs of othes and you can step back and leave it be instead of plotting how you'll have your revenge or use it for your benefit later.

@CrazyMusicLover A common misconception. Narcissists have empathy too. But it's strongly reduced.

everyone displays narcissistic traits ,but clinically only a few are suffering with it and cant be diagnosed by margaret that watched a five minute youtube video on it

I'm sorry, do you have an appointment?
@Convivial with who?
Convivial · 26-30, F
@vic7ory why with me of course, to answer your question

But I am. Everything should always be about me. Even when I go to a friend's wedding I make sure to wear the most conspicuous white dress myself and get a band to play music for my grand entrance.

@turningthekeys 😑😑😑 you're just 26-30. How come someone becomes mother in law at that young age? ☹️

I think of other people, not only myself. I don't do things only for my benefit, but for others too. I put myself in someone else's shoes.

Narcissists don’t have any genuine affection or consideration for other people. They use people to get what they want. Relationships that they abandon until they find something better or they cheat the entire time because they don’t take the person or relationship seriously. Narcissists are often abusive can be mentally and physically because they get something out of it (their needs Being met, housing, money) they do not care about how their abusive behavior and manipulative behavior affects others because they lack empathy. They have an inaccurate inflated sense of self worth. They overestimate their skills and abilities. They can be very vindictive

Narcissistic personality disorder is most common in the United States

@DeluxedEdition One common misinformation is how they lack empathy. They do have empathy, but it's strongly reduced compared to a normal person.
You ask this question
If you get worried and start looking up the traits of narcissism too see if you have them, then youre probably not one .😏
Iwillwait · M
Pretty sure I'm. Well everything on line says I am, so i must be, seeing it's always about me .
@Iwillwait we've been groomed that way
Idk, some people here say I am, but i think it was their reflexion they saw when saying that🤷‍♀️

I keep checking in the mirror to see if I have become one...so far I haven't.
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
Most common narcissists don't care for feedback, self improvement or to ask this question, there are a few exceptions though.

@Queendragonfly Girl, I didn't ask this question. Just concerned if I'm really a narcissist or not. 😒
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
@Nevaeh0081 oh sorry!
Best way is to let a therapist determine it
Nevaeh0081 · 36-40, F
@Queendragonfly that's iike going in a haunted house. Never know what you're going to find. Smh.
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
I hope I am not but I guess I could not be sure of that
Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M
Because I just think too highly of myself 🤔
Because I JUST KNOW that i'm a perfect human being!!

I am empathic. Narcissists have no empathy
Mooed78 · F
@Isthisit I am the same.. an empath..
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
@Isthisit This is false. They have empathy but its a reduced level of empathy.
Justenjoyit · 61-69, M
I like helping people and being fair, so if people start to take to much I just advoid them so I dont think I am
Nevaeh0081 · 36-40, F
I'm not. 😳
I don’t think I am. I can generally recognize when a situation isn’t about me.
And I’m usually relieved

Well, if you will see a prostitute, seek election, state how you love to slap women, but your name is not Margaret then? There will be not knowing anything
