I have done a couple of tests and i am worried i have symptoms for npd. For some years my emotional 'skills' have gone downhill pretty fast and in have allot of problems when trying to understand what people feel. I can notice theyr emotions but i simply cant understand wy they feel that way and for me it is close to impossible to put myzelf in theyr shoes. Its very strange but at some moments that i would imagine peaople would feel bad i just dont feel anything. When just a couple of months ago the father of a close friend of mine died that i was close with aswell i didnt feel much. I did find it bad i wouldnt be able to talk to him again and such but thats about it, i didnt feel sad or happy or anything. When later i was with this friend of mine he bursted in to tears and i just tried to understand wy he felt that way, yes well his dad died but for me that wouldnt be for me a reason to cry, i would mis him becouse he was around for a long period of time in my live but i dont feel emotionaly attached to him (or to anyone) in such a way. The only way i was able to feel somthing was by looking back in my memory for a **** moment and try to feel the emotions i did at the time, it worked for him but for nMe its all fake. Also i tend to love it when i get the chance to have a bit of leaderschip, i really enjoy it when peaople listen to me and i can talk ours and ours on about myself. I love it aswell when people give me compliments and i tend to stick to them just for that reason, even if i dont like them. I also constantly look for weaknesses in others and without me even noticing exploiting this weaknesses so they feel bad, this worries me becouse i dont want to be a bad person. Also i dream / daydream allot about me being something far superior to others and i like it, i like to get the feeling i am better as others and have some kind of power or authority over them.

The reason i am posting this is becouse i am worried about hurting people around me and dont want to be a bad person.

hi thekidd
the only way to know for sure is to be evaluated by a professional but I think the fact that you are worried about it and worried about hurting others demonstrates that you are not....a narcissist wouldn't care. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
