Hi! Quick question. I'll tell you why later.

To what extent do you agree with this statement: ?I am a narcissist.? (Note: The word ?narcissist? means egotistical, self-focused, and vain.)

Rate yourselfon a scale of 1 to 7 where 1 is ?not very true of me? and 7 is ?very true of me?.

Reply below with your score (or PM me if you prefer).

Then I'll PM you to let you know why it's interesting and what it reveals about you.

Note: if you have already read about this and know why I am asking this question, please don't give the game away and ruin it for others!

Well, I'm a snob of sorts, but not a narcissist. But i could say around 3. Just cuz snobbish attitude adds to it.

I think possibly as high as 6 or 7. It scares me but a lot of the descriptions of narcissism tend to fit my thoughts and behaviours, even if they're wrapped up in self-hatred, I'm often seeking validation to make the self-hatred go away and have deep beliefs (which I am ashamed of and try and repress) that I should be liked and validated by others, but which come out in the form of passive-aggression and pity-seeking. I am attracted to empaths and in a way I'm obsessed with the concept of empathy and want to see it in myself too. However it is not unusual for people I care about deeply to just disappear on me leaving me to wonder if the feeling was mutual and whether I was actually hurting them with my presence when I wanted to believe I was being helpful.

@Indigopineapple

Unfortunately I'll never know what the reasoning behind this post is as I've just noticed the OP is no longer around.
