Anyways, there are different types of narcissistic people and narcissism. Some are less severe, so they can feel a bit more connected than other types. My father is diagnosed with NPD and I'm waiting for a phone call to take some tests for anti-social and narcissistic PDs. So, what I may say may be a mix of those two, probably a bit more anti-social but I'm not entirely sure. However, with a PD, it has to be like that for everyone and all situations, not just to 1 person. If it's like this only for 1 person while arguing, then I highly doubt you have NPD.

For me, it's quite basic. I do what I want to whom I want when I want. I do it because they have something or can do something for me and they're basically out in the open for the picking. I rank people on a scale or hierarchy, with myself being at the very top. People can be raised or lowered on it. If I do something it's always for 1 main purpose (although can also be for some others) but the main one is this: looking out for number one, myself. I am pretty lousy at putting myself in other people's shoes but there's a simple explanation: why should I? If I'm better than they are, have more power, they should try to put themselves in my shoes.

I guess one other reason why they say I could have NPD is I'm sarcastic to people, I look down upon them, I absolutely love power and control over something/someone, try to go with those who have more power (i.e. talk to the boss, not a janitor), etc... . I think that's a fairly short and nice summary without mentioning any damage done.
Wow.
Most people with NPD do not share their views to people, they hide it. These views are not acceptable to society which is why you can't say them out loud.

At least you are honest over the anonymity provided on the internet... to a degree.

NPD is a defense mechanism to feelings of inferiority.

BTW, there are no tests to determine if one has NPD. Tests cannot ascertain a psychological disorder. They are only useful as adjuncts to assessment with a psychologist. You might have ASPD and NPD together. Personality disorders can and do come in pairs sometimes.

Relationships with people must not last long huh buddy?
Sad to live life alone, but you choose this life.

No, I don't wish you well... I wish you get better before you hurt people.
