Honestly..... I sometimes long to be just average and relatively unimportant. It gets so tiring to need to be seen as the center of attention, all the time.

And when I hear NPD's described... I think to myself "if that's what I am, then maybe I should just become a hermit, so I don't continue to hurt people".

There are times when I try to get people to acknowledge me as an expert in some areas, and when they show me I'm wrong... I tend to believe them... I know I'm not perfect... I know I'm not the best at everything.

so, anyway... I would like to get help, so I don't continue to exhibit traits that are common among those who suffer from NPD.
