I'm not an expert on narcissism, don't have NPD according to my therapist, but the DSM definition of NPD is pretty explicit and a desire to be worshipped is not on the list.

As Copperstar put it:

"Where most people feel secure as long as people treat them right, some narcissists need to be treated like GODS."

"Where most people feel good when they are shown some appreciation, some narcissists need to be REVERED."

I have worked very hard much of my life to have some understanding and appreciation for my late father who had many of the characteristics of someone with NPD. I know from experience with my dad about the fragile ego, as Copperstar described it. I loved my dad, sometimes hated him, was extremely frustrated with him and sometimes hurt -- hurt which I didn't really recognize or understand until after my own therapy.

I like and admire the two people in this forum who frequently post here and have said that they have NPD. Does NOT mean I worship them, and if they like to feel worshipping about themselves for their own reasons, doesn't bother me. Kind of makes me smile, remembering my own dad. But that's just my experience.
