Okay so first off a little background on myself I'm 21 and from California and I'm currently working on a Political Science degree.

So here goes nothing.. Ever since I was young I've always been told how bright I am I mean literally every single person I've ever talked to at one point has talked about how smart I am and then once they find out they try to almost in a sense use me for things which really bothers me because I don't mind helping someone just to a certain extent. Essentially I know I'm extremely intelligent and I use that to really get what I want I had a girlfriend and I would honestly intentionally make her cry just to sort of see the tears and my mom would ask me why I'm doing it and I told her the truth because I thought that everyone feels the same way. I've been to several therapists who have all mentioned narcissism,sociopathic tendencies or something along those lines. I mean truthfully I read a lot about the "symptoms" and I'll be honest I feel that every human is just a stepping stone to get a leg up in life to be used for your own gain I mean honestly what other reason would there be for somebody? Isn't life about making it up to the top? Isn't that we have social ladders in life? I would like to try and get some sort of clarity for my questions or at least something to lead me in the direction of answers. If anything else is required of me please let me know as I was very brief in this post.
