Be careful about self-diagnosis. Everyone has narcissistic traits, and everyone has personality glitches. You're probably not a narcissist because you worry you are one -- actual narcissists just think they're great all the time. But yes, learning to be more considerate and focused on others is worthwhile. The easiest and most immediate solution to what you're dealing with is to put more energy into focusing on others -- approach conversations as an attempt to understand where other people are coming from. Just that simple fix will make you less focused on yourself.
