Just because you've identified narcissistic traits in yourself doesn't mean you're a terrible person.
There are many bad things said about narcissists. Not everyone is quick to admit that they have these character traits.
Society is accustomed to portraying such people as narcissistic egoists who do not know how to empathize.
However, it is worth drawing a strong line between narcissistic personality disorder and narcissistic personality traits.
The latter manifests itself in many people to varying degrees, but this does not mean that you are dealing with a terrible person.
3 Tips for Narcissists
No one forbids you to praise and encourage yourself, admire and be proud of your achievements. This is good for your psyche and is a “vaccine” against depression. The main thing is not to overdo it. Otherwise, you can reach a pathological form.
If you have an inflated self-esteem, then this is also not a reason to panic. In many areas, this is a very necessary thing that helps to achieve the set goals.
You deserve sympathy. Many people see narcissists in a negative light and don't pay attention to how hard it is for you.
For example, your demands are too high, and it is difficult for you to experience your own and other people’s mistakes and imperfections.
You are never "good enough" for yourself, and you expect too much from others. This is an obstacle to building harmonious relationships.
All this is not easy to bear, so even narcissists deserve sympathy.
Previously, psychologists explained why people often remember bad things better than good things.
