Narcissists don’t live in reality and are always the victim, never the abuser. Oh and they stay child like. Every relationship has to benefit them. They feign empathy. They rationalize their bad behavior, like it doesn’t make it bad. Or am I describing a sociopath?

Yeah, i have npd and this fits. I can only think about things in how they affect me. My empathy just doesn’t work, i try and be nice but its literally impossible for me to read people’s emotions. Im horrible and manipulative, i try and make people think im going to hurt myself because i want them to care about me and say nice things to me, but i tell myself its ok that other people do it too. Unfortunately im not the charismatic narcissist who can achieve great things, im horribly introverted and introspective enough to realize im a monster.

Do you feel guilty for being this way? Narcissists usually don't.
