Throughout my life I have felt like I am better then other people; more significant. I never realised that there was anything wrong with this, I summised that I was perhaps just incredibly self confident or something. I recently was diagnosed with moderate depression, which
was the inevitable effect of living the way I have done for so long.
I undertook CBT to counteract my depression but in all honesty I have
been lying through my teeth to my therapist, lying has become almost second nature to me now. My only motivation to converse with people is to get the resultant praise and addulation that my lies ultimately gain for me; in all honesty I thrive off of them. I can say without hesitation that I am very inteligent, and very handsome.
I have no problem getting into relationships with women, but most just last for a few weeks or are one night stands.
I am easily bored, I cannot stay in one job for very long, as I feel that I am more intelligent then every other person I work with, this leads to confrontations with bosses and collegues; but in all honesty I feel that they are jealous of my charisma and inteligence.
All my thoughts are dominated by fantasies of imposing on others my wealth and success, and the influence I could gain. I feel like I am looking through anothers eyes, into my own life. As though I am an actor in my own play, the most important member of the cast, with the script written for me.
I apparently need help, according to the few people I have left in my life, and although I have experience in the psychiatric profession, I obviously cannot diagnose myself.

Ironically this is could be an opportunity for others to stroke my ego,which is partly why I am posting on this forum.

Am I a narcissist?.

I dunno how psychologists describe it, but to me narcissism is a form of a delusion when ugly retards believe they are attractive and funny and think they deserve respect. In other cases, regular people whom have nothing over practically anyone else and are too much of pussies, to admit they dont know something, so they never learn or get educated, basically go into a perpetual retard-loop until someone gets sick of their s--- and gouges both their eyes out.

Does this describe you? Theres a difference between having a quality or skill and being overly proud and arrogant about it and having NO skills and being arrogant about non-existent qualities.

Yeah just some advice...
quite a lot of you are probably looking at articles aboat personality "disorders" and thinking that half or more of them describe you. Well incase you havent noticed - most (even "normal" people) get this. To be honest i did this for like a month, then i stopped cause i thought that it didnt matter. I realised some part of me thought it was cool or something to have personality disorders and so my mind was almost desperate to think i had one. So i stopped and accepted that i was who i was and used it to my advantage.

Now its like the best gift i could have. My morals evolve to suit me best in that situation and i have no rules. None. I am totally free.
So i appreciate that a lot of you will dismiss this and subconsciously refuse to consider it, but you should really just accept who you are, pull yourself together and get a grip on life. You should just be your own god and decide what is right anf wrong for yourself. Yeah.. and if your on the "right" track, you may have thought that just because i said "should" doesnt mean you should.
