When I first found out I was really bothered as how can someone who is so great have a "disorder". I applaud you for you happiness in finding a diagnosis. As a person who does have NPD it comes and goes. Most of the time I feel perfectly normal and then there are those cases where I realize how out of touch I am with others and the accepted ways of being. When the latter happens it does bother me to know how I am not normal(fades quickly though). I guess that's what makes us all so unique in how we take in the information given. I am broken but luckily I have a disorder that makes me on top most of the time. I guess in a way I lucked out with having what I have as it could of been much more crippling for my daily routines if I wasn't so high on myself. Again congrats on finding something that makes you feel good!! Except I know what you mean with because you already knew. The happiness is more because your beliefs were confirmed (making you right) rather than actually what it is. At least the way I understood it.
