I must admit that I am envious of your ability to recognize and your ableness of acceptance and change so quickly (I am assuming you being diagnosed with NPD). I have struggled with such simple tasks of trying to modify myself on a continued basis. Sure I can do it for a moment or two but then what happens next is such second nature to me. You must of also lucked out to find such a helpful therapist from the start. Unlike Atypical I do care too much of what people see me as. In places I am not comfortable i become angry and to the point were its simple for me to lose control. The list truly goes on and on. I would like to hear more from you as it seems whatever your doing could help others who do want to change. To be able to cope differently in the world rather that the ways we have decided to make our own. I appreciate your insight!! I also appreciate the similarities in the thought processing comment as I had that issue for many years more close to 20 before becoming aware of who I really am.
