Your words:

"Everyone - I beg you not to think of my post as applying to any of you.
Please don't let my post make you feel bad about yourselves. You are doing the right thing going to therapy. One thing that has come out about me is my attraction to being a good selfless person. My model is the image that Mother Teresa portrays - always selfless and giving.But, the thing is, I don't want to have my own needs. I want everyone else to have their needs met and I can be the giver, not the taker.It's such a difficult idea to wrap my mind around - that I deserve having my needs met too. I don't even want to acknowledge that I have needs. So it feels very very bad to spend all that time talking about myself (but I do it very well, you know)I am in therapy to learn how to be a better person, to know myself better, to better be able to be kind and generous and in the end, not be selfish instead of just acting like I'm not selfish."

The above are all things you,yourself stated...of your own volition....

How then,could you possibly be a narcissist?

We all live in our own personal physical bodies...taste with our own personal taste buds....think our own thoughts,emotions,.....must make choices to benefit the outcome of our own lives....if WE don't do all that we do;to our benefit....I have to ask...who will?

In view of your own statements above....I just can't believe you are a textbook N....please delve further into its definition and realize...there is a good deal of N in us all.
