Hi everyone,

I'm self-identified as a narcissist of the "vulnerable" type. It's good to see a forum devoted to this disorder. There's a lot of stigma attached to the condition. We're more used to hearing it used as an insult than as a way of identifying people who need help. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that narcissists are very difficult people to be around and can be incredibly destructive but we also need a place where we can get away from the shame that comes with the condition so that we can be honest with ourselves about what our problem is and look at ways to become healthier people.

So yeah, I just wanted to put that out there. I hope we see more posts on this forum.

I guess another reason that there are so few posts on here is because narcissists find it so difficult to be honest with themselves. Again, there's no shame in that. I hope this can be a safe place where narcissists can let their defences down and open up - as and when they feel ready.

Thanks for reading. I basically wanted to say hi and let people know that I'm ready to start opening up about my narcissistic traits.

Best wishes
