When I was 20 I was diagnosed by a psychologist with having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. At first I was in denial about but over time I come to terms with my narcissism and the diagnosis started to make sense to me. A lot of my problems can be traced back to my unrealistic self image and lack of ability to relate with others.

There’s a lot of stigma towards NPD. I hope by making this thread I can help others understand that having NPD doesn’t inherently make you a bad person and NPD hurts the person with it as well.

    Did your Slow, Lazy, Underachieving get diagnosed as ADHD, or was it parental over expectations?

      Yes I did. It wasn’t just my parents I got bullied a lot by other kids and my siblings and I didn’t do that well in school either.
