You guys have taken a lot and stand strong...my god in most places here you can't look the wrong way without someone getting upset over it
Your cool atypical and u.g.
Don't let them get to ya
I have to say a good portion of the nons posting here have been a breath of fresh air(you're one of those people), more objective and logical which are always things I like in a person.

I am self-aware enough through my inherent nature and through some solid therapy to know that objectively, my NPD obviously hurts people... I am not at a point where I can really, truly, see my behavior as harmful but when enough people are calling you a "cold hearted narcissistic *****" you start to pay attention. Lol.

A lot of the time it seems to me that people are just highly sensitive creatures. I have lasting friendships(more than people would think), and they are with people who aren't so sensitive. Over time I've found people who appreciate my lack of "OMG I'm SO SORRY let me give you a HUG" attitude and my tendency to just call it how I see it as it were.

I appreciate your posts here, as with several others... you all know who you are.

Yeah they are logical. I like that.
Honesty I like honesty.

Think thats why I like robots. Logic, science, common sense.
Honesty is something I still have trouble with because... Well for the sake of honesty here, I often don't know when I'm lying. I have found out through therapy and no BS friends I have that I tend to start lying to myself first, and then I lie to other people without knowing it because I wind up believing the lies I tell to myself. It's some subconscious thing I do that I have yet to be able to catch early. Why do I want to catch it at all? Because I am self-aware enough to know that my self-deception harms me, sure it's not at all altruistic but I care that I am stifling myself and not being true to myself.

Things to work on... Many of you have made me think about things and I like being intellectually challenged.
Thanks for this!
