I am confused. On another thread Atypical said she was a diagnosed narcissist and met all 9 criteria. Here she says she's not, then that she is. But if you don't care what other people think, how can you be a narcissist?

But saying contradictory things like that right in a row is one of the stand-out traits of a psychopath. I read some cognitive-linguistic explanation for that but I can't remember the terminology.
