It's so easy to say we hide behind a mask and that we make up this false self to gain what we need. You may believe this to be true but I don't think it's so cut and dry. My achievements are not false or made up, the things I am proud of are true. Actual events that took place not just imagined and made to be bigger than they are.

This, ****ing THIS. I've always hated that "false self" theory because as you said it's way too cut and dry and really does Narcissists a huge disservice. I have actual accomplishments, achievements, things I've done and continue to do that are very much worth being proud of. These things are not exaggerations, they are easily observable from anyone that comes across me in this life.
Funny you posted this, I've been mildly irritated about all the "theories" about NPD as of late. If you want actual facts people like you and me are right here to answer questions. I am one of the people who actually has this disorder, I know things about NPD that only a person with NPD can know. Shocking concept, I know! HA HA HA!
