Who you are just is. It is an objective reality that few people ever see about themselves. I have seen a myriad of people who have no idea who they are, even though they believe they do.

When you become aware of who you are, it is so obviously true that it can only be accepted. It is self-evident.

Many of the types who publicly shame Narcissists seem to suffer from this unawareness of their Selves. People who are aware of and secure about who they are feel no need to stigmatize an entire group of people based off of a mere label.

Many would think me insecure, narcissistic, and evil simply because I know who I am and what I am about. Could one call me a Narcissist and be correct? Yes, if you are looking at the actual criteria for NPD and not the stereotypes of what kind of a person an NPD sufferer is.

But calling me a Narcissist as another way to say that I am evil? I will never stand for that. I am not a saint, I am fully aware of this fact. However, I have not done any more evil things than the average person. Yes, everyone does evil things just as everyone does good things.

Who I am is not dictated by what I do or what I have done. My Self is under a constant state of becoming, of being... An evolution of sorts and that journey of discovering your Self is life long. Human beings are not static and I am no exception. I am who I am, but that "who" is always going to be different than it was just yesterday. Not fundamentally different, who I am cannot be altered. But I grow, I advance my Self in all my affairs. I become a more authentic Me every day, as I peel back the layers of lies that resulted from the life I have lived.

I know what evil is. I have seen that force stare me in the face and that force has made serious attempts at taking my life. I am not that force of evil that so many would think me as simply because I am a narcissistic being. "Narcissist" is just a word for a certain kind of person. Good and evil are choices that people make, regardless of what label they are called.
