how can i overcome my selfishness? if i conscious try to be more considerate the needs of others, will it eventually become a part of me, without having to think about it? EDIT: apparently its much more than that..

i feel like it probably is a real issue. ive realized this is more along the lines of what i actually have. not APD. how oh how can i overcome this? is it impossible? is this stuff like hard-wired into me?
i was reading up on it and "NPD traits are common in adolescents and may not necessarily lead to NPD in adulthood."
so maybe i will grow out of it naturally...but maybe not
anyway as you guys can probably tell i am very interested in improving myself for the better...
sorry for all this posting
