Just based on your last sentence here, I doubt you have full-blown NPD. As a narcissist myself I do not care that I hurt others because I have no empathy. I am aware that I am very harmful to those around me, but it doesn't emotionally connect at all. So I don't care. I've been called "heartless" more times than I can count as a result.
