If you don't mind answering, You are a musician correct? I would assume that is a profession that a lot of NPD are drawn to, as well as the arts in general. Do you find that to be true and could you elaborate?

Yes, you're correct about me. I slide into the role of performer very easily (my entire life is a performance when it comes down to it) because things like "stage fright" are entirely alien concepts to me. Between my fearlessness and confidence it's easily lead to quite a lot of success.

I think people with NPD or ASPD can do anything if they want to. They just have to want to, because I'll be the first to admit that unless I really want something I'm one of the laziest people you'll ever meet!

You can ask me whatever, I'm not a shy creature.

I gathered that you were not a shrinking violet.

Do you feel that you have a "need" to perform for admiration or do you feel that there is something inside you that needs to be explored musically?

Neither. I do it because it keeps me entertained. I can't stand being bored so I find things to do with my time.

The only thing I think I express in my music is a total lack of the emotions that drive most people.

Same here, I'm so often told that I need to apply more emotion into my music. If only they realized what little I did use was for show.

So do the two of you consider yourself to be skilled and entertaining musicians? ^

Just curious, not said with spite.

Yes I do. Though I am lacking when it comes to passionate emotional singing. I'm great when it comes to sheer technical skill, but I have been told that I sing very clinically.

I play the piano as well, but that's kind of another story haha.

Essentially the same as Atypical. Except I'm not not too great on the piano. My side talent to singing is song writing.
