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. |

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. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
