I sometimes wish I could go back a few years to when I thought I myself did not have a title based in a book. When I did and said things with zero contempt. When who I was was so much easier!!!! I have NPD and I searched for the answer. It is not wise to believe that a person with NPD would not be because they thought that of themselves. Just look at a few of us here. Ones who did the same!! I always knew something was off, just like many others who too believe that they are normal. We are who we are, thinking that something is off and finding out the truths are part of the travels for some while the lucky ones go to their death never knowing. Questions to be answered is which is better. Very conflicted at the moment...... To the op, if you sense something off then you are probably right with seeking answers, just know that when the truth is found it isn't always great. To be a narcissist, one who thinks and really feels superior to all, finds out they are disordered is just like oil and vinegar. They go together but never mix..... This is the same as my mind since finding my own truth!!!!

Coming to a similar feeling about my reverse (“I’m so great because I can admit I’m disordered”) narcissism.
