Sociopath Community

an autistic narcissist..........

Well, -this isn't a jab at you specifically- generally in society someone who has too much confidence and an abnormally large ego is just called a douchebag.

Concept: *Bo singing and dancing down the street, happily claiming his new title* "I'm not NPD! I'm just a douchebag!"

 Let's have a toast for the douchebags, have a toast for the assholes, have a toast for the scumbaaags, every one of em that I knowww! Let's have a toast go the jerkoffs, that'll never take work offff. Baby I got a plan, runaway fast as yoooouu can!

I guess douchebag depends on how you channel the confidence. If you use it to attack people you deem less than you, then you are. If you use it to motivate high goals, then you're a very stable genius.

Your self confidence is a threat to others that lack true capability.

What would you call somebody with the ego of a narcissist, but none of the underlying insecurities? I feel that this is me. I know that what I personally take pride in isn't made up in my head and I have some high up goals that I intend to really go after. I have a lot of the struggles of a narcissist, like blowing up at people when they try to downplay what I'm proud of about myself. I find myself often criticizing and judging other people. I have really high goals that some may categorize as delusional despite my intentions to still pursue them. I tend to think I'm above the fray here but I know from the past year I am not. I can be very selfish in my actions. All of these things make me look like a classic narcissist. But if by definition a narcissist feels insecurity due to abuse or whatever and uses the narcissism as a false ego boosting self deception..... I don't fit. I don't have anything to be insecure over, I'm pretty good in most departments. I wasn't abused, if anything I was encouraged and cheered on growing up. I feel that the sky is the limit for myself. So, what do you call somebody who just has genuine confidence to a degree that it looks narcissistic?

Narcissts aren't aware they're insecure though. It's all deeply buried in the self conscious. They legit think they're fine and everyone else is wrong, dumb, crazy insert [w/e]. You seem more self absorbed and really needy for validation. Although needing validaton is a result of insecurity. Being cheered on as a kid and propped up for mediocre acts can create narcissim. I dunno, you could be. Are you an only child?

 No. I have 3 siblings. One is disabled, one is down a bad path at the moment, and one chills with the Chappelles on a regular basis and is into art. I'm the most conventional in terms of lifestyle but my motivations are aimed elsewhere too. I respect the one who is into art now because they are seeing success, which I respect. I am disappointed with the one down the bad path. The disabled one is just themself. I wouldn't call my home particularly competitive, I was always the highest academic achiever and in high school the best behaved.
