Am i narcissistic??? ?

Question

i just have this sense of being better than most people. Like i always say im equal to or better than everyone else. And when i grow up i expect to make alot of money. I sort of seek attention and i like it when other girls are jelous of me. I'm not mean to people and i don't use them but, if they're mean to me, i do whatever it takes to make them feel bad.

I just recently was diagnosed with schizophrenia but, that's what they think, not what they know. So, they're gonna wait till im 18 to diagnose me truthfully

Answer 1

If you have been diagnosed as schizophrenic by a doctor Why would you take the opinion of people you've never laid eyes on? How old are you? Younger teenagers are narcissistic to some degree. That is how they learn certain things, ie like good grooming, competing in activities including school, etc. As far as trying to make others feel bad that sounds like low self esteem - if you put them down you THINK you feel or are better. Hopefully you will out grow this. The very point that you realize these defects gives you hope to change them

Answer 2

You have some serious issues.

Answer 3

you are!!!!

Answer 4

Are you attracted to yourself?

Answer 5

i kno exactly whatcha mean. and it seriously bugs me when counselors with degrees and all that funk put answers on things like this. if u start feeling narcissistic, just think of something they have that you don't. even though that sounds really shallow. but still. i think its normal to want to make people feel bad and insecure if theyre mean to you, as long as u dont go too far. i guess you're a little narcissistic, but as long as you don't walk around with your nose in the air and your shallow and all OMG look what daddy bought me! then no, you dont have a prob. i think.  

Answer 6

Everyone has elements of narcissism in their personality, just some more than others.  If it's really pronounced or severe, it might be said that you have "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" (NPD)

Here are the symptoms that most psychiatrists will use to diagnose NPD:

DSM Criteria

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:[1]

has a grandiose sense of self-importance

is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

believes that he or she is "special" and unique

requires excessive admiration

has a sense of entitlement

is interpersonally exploitative

lacks empathy

is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her

shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

Answer 7

I think that if what you say is true then you have a serious medical or psychological problem. Any of your mannerisms may then be clouded by that condition. I don't think we should judge you by those mannerisms then. I think that you should get any treatment you need and hopefully you will be restored to a good life after that. It must be hard on your parents also.

Best wishes.
