Comment on Is this “normal bratty” behavior or a sign of a mental health condition?
galactic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days agoso this is just like textbook narcissism and not just an asshole?
No one can diagnose someone on the internet but the things you list do seem to paint a rough sketch of a narcissist. Thing is, people can have narcissistic traits and still not meet the criteria for narcissistic personality disorder.
But it doesn’t really matter. The person you describe sounds like someone to be avoided, regardless of whether or not they qualify for NPD.
That’s not narcissism, don’t take diagnoses from people in comment sections.
This is a severe self-esteem issue that manifests itself as inflated ego.
Im not a shrink but it seems like it. Like I said if it isn’t someone you are close to and have to have in your life I would move on.
If this is your actual problem rather than someone else then you need to talk with a therapist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy. That road is long and difficult but you might end up happier after a few years.
she’s actually my “close friend” but I don’t consider her that for obvious reasons
Move on, people on the NPD spectrum don’t understand theor problem and you cannot do that for them.
yeah, she either apologizes because she “can’t control herself” or blames me

Having a diagnosis doesn’t excuse their actions. At best it explains them.
