The bolded part is interesting to me. When I was misdiagnosed with NPD I wasn't bothered by it at all, I remember telling my psychiatrist, "Yes, I am narcissistic. Thank you for noticing!" I found it amusing. That's another area where NPD and ASPD differ quite a bit. Grandiose though I am, I am not bothered when I am referred to as narcissistic, it just makes me smile.

Thank you as usual for sharing your thoughts Underground, it's good to see you around again!
