Here's the thing about that: if I acknowledge the things I've done as being gravely and seriously wrong, then that would force me to look at things that have been done to me as gravely and seriously wrong and frankly I cannot tolerate that.
So I minimize what I do to others into it not mattering at all because I have to see things that have been done to me as not mattering at all/having zero effect on me because if those things actually affected me then that totally shatters my sense of self.
In other words: as per usual, it's not about you, it's about me of course!
As for why the unusual amount of insight: I've been in therapy for NPD for a long time now.

The resident malignant narcissist of PC! What a fine pleasure it is to meet your acquaintance. I don't know that I could espouse a similarly commanding title, but suffice is to say I'm sure we could relate famously. Anyhow, do stop by to say hello sometime if you feel so inclined, although it is unfortunately likely you'll keep your distance. Sad for me indeed. In any regard, I thought it be the respectable thing to introduce myself and extend a warm friendly hand. Cheers to greatness.
