Haha omg get out of my head Seagoon ๐ I often worry endlessly that I'm a narcissist, until my partner says "no, you're a traumatised only-child, who's worried about being a narcissist; narcissists don't worry that they're narcissists!"
Thank you for that video, adding to my "to watch" list!
Edit: okay holy shit! My ex is/was 100% a narcissist good fkn loooord
I've never worried whether I'm a narcissist. Does that mean I'm a narcissist?
Oh wait, now I'm worrying whether I'm a narcissist! But does that mean I am or not?

Nah highly doubtful you're a narcissist, at least in terms of the DSM.
There are certain traits and delusions required for one to be a narcissist (NPD), and it is often caused by childhood trauma.
Don't take me too seriously, I sure don't!
(I like to hope that I'm not - but that was just be being cheeky/silly)
All good I figured it was a joke don't worry!!
I worry that I'm so good at being a narcissist that I can't tell.
And Spud is right, it takes terrible repeated trauma as a child and total neglect of emotional well being as an infant. It's very tragic.
I will never forgive my mil for the cruelty she has inflicted on her kids and the rest of the fam.
