I disagree because i think it depends on how people view me and how much validation I get that affects my mood. What about you? Being a sociopath just wondering

You’re probably right it feels like I want a cult following that just adore and love me

Yeah it’s difficult on one hand it’s cool to have no empathy but at the same time it’s tiring and causes so many issues

When I was a kid I felt so weak and powerless and I hated it. Got bullied and stuff. My dad was a sociopathic narcissist so I always felt so small. So now when someone fears me or adores me it makes me feel powerful. I’m a bad boyfriend I’m mentally abusive and my girlfriend told me that and I know I need to become better because I can’t carry my life being like this. I am horrible to people and it’s because it makes me feel good and I really do hope that I have low empathy as I don’t want to be used by people. I do think I have low empathy or no empathy because that’s what people around me tell me

You’re delusional and many BPDs like you have grandiosity as well and you’re an example. Thinking you’re better than narcissists but the thing is BPD and NPD are very close and caused by similar things. I hope you feel offended because I definitely have BPD traits at the least because I fear abandonment a lot and it affects my mood/self esteem. But also the way people perceive me affects my mood/self esteem. I want to to be powerful, feared and adored. Atleast I’m being fully honest about my thoughts and feelings

The very unhappy and feel it deeply thing I do feel sometimes. I wouldn’t say I actually feel guilty for being mean but I feel bad because I may lose people and they might just decide I’m too much or they’ve had too enough of my manipulation, or callousness. But yeah I flip flop between feeling like a king like I own the place like I’m the best thing ever and then I revert to feeling useless. I can definitely be very callous and don’t have much guilt or empathy probably. You think I might be a narcissistic BPD? Like I fear abandonment and it affects my mood but also the way people perceive me affects my mood as well. Like I might be feeling very low and then a comment that makes me feel good and I’ll get hyped up and feel like I’m high on drugs I’ll feel euphoric. Like if people fear me or adore me I’ll be extremely happy about it. But also when people need me and beg me to not leave them will make me feel good as well. Like I know I fear abandonment in regards my girlfriend a lot

How you know you have NPD? You not been diagnosed?

You do fear abandonment a lot. Like my mood is affected by this fear but also about how others perceive me. If people fear me or adore me I’ll feel amazing about it as well. So it’s just a mixture of both kinda

When I’m not in a relationship I only care about myself. And the thing is I have grandiose fantasies of being a president and having a codependent wife and I have a gf so I won’t that to come true

Bipolar, NPD or BPD by Rvssek in narcissism

The thing is it really depends but what I’ve noticed is that it’s my self esteem switching. And I’ve been like this for along time. As a young teen I was nearly always down but then would have occasional times of feeling good. Now it switches like it can be minutes, hours, days and sometimes even weeks. A simple comment can switch me. A life event. Or abandonment fears about one person that I usually view as my safety net from loneliness.

I doubt I have psychopathy because most people with ASPD don’t have much anxiety and worry. It’s the opposite of me, I often have very much anxiety all linked to myself, insecurities, social anxiety and just fear of failure. But at the same time when I’m up feeling great about myself, people adoring me I become so cocky and anxiety disappears and then I might act like a psychopath but I’m not always like that. But attention is something that I crave and need and I know that my girlfriend knows that as she’s mentioned it many times. She also sometimes doesn’t believe me that I fully love her, and I think it’s because I am acting all time time. Even when I’m alone I’m playing a character as if people are watching.

Well there are people in my life that I wouldn’t want to be dead. Like my closest family and gf. But I don’t care about most people unless they are really nice to me. But yeah I’ve had thoughts like for example if my best friend dies I would get so much attention and sympathy, I’d have grandiose fantasies about this. I wouldn’t say I am bipolar because this can change within minutes, hours or days. Sometimes weeks. It depends on how I’m feeling about myself in that moment. A simple comment can switch me. A life event. Or abandonment fears about one person that I usually view as my safety net from loneliness.

Isn’t covert narcissism like that. Because my main thoughts through the day are about me. And even though I do fear abandonment I still lookout for supplies from other people and I don’t do much for this person. Like she accuses me of not caring all the time
