Gut instinct here tells me that Narcissistic PD is probably not your ailment, solely because in general, those with NPD do not have concerns for others, only themselves. Your concern seems to be related to how you are impacting others.

That said, your thoughts are a concern and could be caused by another mental illness. If you are not already in therapy, I think it would be wise to consider it.

Best of luck!
