I am probably Narcissistic

(1/4) > >>

Meh:
I figure I am probably Narcissistic or have some kind of personality disorder.

Have never been diagnosed with it though. Maybe I should ask my doctor about it.

Not sure how I could spend so much time around a Narcissistic mother and not be like her in some regard.

I'm getting to the age though that nothing has ever been resolved at all. So I mean, it's getting to the point of why bother?


I mean, there are lots of things that I didn't experience in life

I didn't go to prom, never in hell would have thought that I should participate in something like that because I wasn't very social and wouldn't have been able to come up with money for a dress. Also wasn't asked to go.

I have never own a car.

I have never owned a house or a condo.

I have never had a career, only a long string of fairly unimpressive jobs.

Have never been in much of a relationship.

Never had a family not a family of origin nor a family of my own.

People say you should move on in life...but the people who say that also have these things.
I mean at the minimum I Should be diagnosed with mental retardation, autism, something. There should be something--a better explanation for my empty life if not a solution.

I'm burnt out, only scramble to try to get my basic needs met. Not much else is going on.

Hopalong:
Hi ((((((((((Boat)))))))))) --

You've never struck me as an N.

love,
Hops

Meh:
Well I don't have fear of the concept. I would just like to have more insight into my own behaviors/habits emotions.

Wondering if "dependent personality disorder"...goes along with "narcissistic personality disorder"

It's been said before that Narcissistic people fit like a lock and key with other types.

OR oddly enough I wonder if people flex between personality disorder types depending on their "position" in the relationship structure.

IF a person is sometimes Narcissistic and sometimes dependent. IDK just thinking out loud to myself

Having one cup of coffee, some orange. Did one minor errand, must do more before the day is over.

I mean I would say I think both of my parents had some kind of personality disorder. Like I would say I think my father had Avoidant personality disorder, and mother clearly nar.

Am I Narcissistic, Dependent, Avoidant... I don't know but it seems like it would be beneficial to be diagnosed with something clear. Kind of dumb that depression&anxiety are the only things I've been diagnosed with considering both of those things are symptoms of PD's.

One of my therapists said she thought I was very introverted...maybe it's another way of saying avoidant personality disorder without using the words.

Meh:
It's amazing, my room mate's mother is bringing over a piece of furniture for her and also is bringing Thai food.... different world altogether.

Reading about covert versus overt Narcissism.

Covert Narcissism looks like Avoidant Personality Disorder

As always, it's just a can of worms really.....Sigh.
Are all people one of these categories, I mean there never seems to be a "normal".........if this is the list of "sickos"...where is the list of "normo's"

I'm just ruminating-ly looking up info.

Really wish I had been diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder or something when I was a teenager, when I first went and asked for Prozac.
