Hi there, please don't be too disheartened by your diagnosis (easier said than done, I know). Having narcissistic tendencies does not make you bad or evil. I think many of us struggle with these traits at times. People who have narcissistic traits don't always have an 'inflated' sense of themselves - I do believe I've read that in some cases, they actually have very low self esteem and think that bad things happen because of them. I'm not wording this very well at all, sorry - partly because my understanding of it isn't very in depth.
Sometimes, narcissistic traits can actually be a good thing and help us get by in the world.
Have you been offered any therapy to help you increase your understanding of yourself and why you do things? I think this is much more important than diagnosis alone.
