Don't you have any friends? That's what friends are for - to tell you when you're steering the wrong way. Here, all by yourself, you are analyzing your behavior and concluding that you're a narcissist, of all things. Maybe you're a psychotic, a sociopath, an alcoholic, an obsessive-compulsive, a father-raper or a mother-stabber or one other of the thousands of possibilities, but you are making your own (likely unprofessional) diagnosis. Bad idea! If you have no friends and don't have lots of spare change, then join a group (any type of group, not group therapy): find others with common cause or interest and work from there. Try a bunch: feel free to join and leave until you find something comfortable. If you have money to throw away, feel free to hire a friend (a "therapist", counselor or psychiatrist). There are plenty willing to take your money. As one psychologist told me, his is a really easy profession: he listens to people, gives them advice if they want it but need not necessarily do so. Nor need he solve any problems (that's up to the patient). It's an easy way to become quite well-off, if only somewhat respected. I wish I had back all the money and time I gave for psychological counseling when I was young, even w/o interest. I'd be much wealthier and better off.
