You nailed one of my issues, it would be lovely if I got some kind of feedback when I'm acting in a way that's "disordered" because honest to God I do not see it at the time. As much as I loathe admitting it I cannot figure everything out on my own. Human beings are social creatures and that includes myself, and that means that like anyone else, I need perspective. The trick, I think, is to find a way to give me perspective when it is warranted in a way that does not cause me to go on the defensive, because that certainly wouldn't solve anything for me or the other person involved.


The first part of your post is interesting, why do you believe that narcissism has a hand in other personality disorders? I think that is an interesting thought, would you mind expounding upon that more? I am curious.
