This was suggested to me by @BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place.
- I’m a late teen (17). I got an autism diagnosis (which still causes more problems, than good) when I was three years old.
- You already know a lot about autism (since most of you are autistic), so you don’t need any explanation (even if it’s a spectrum).
- Now let’s explain why I think I’m a narcissist: When I entered high school a few years ago, I started feeling superior to my schoolmates. At first I felt, this was justified, as I have way better grades than my schoolmates (and had a way higher admission score (or whatever it’s called) than others), but later I realized, it was unjustified, as even if I’m smarter, than everyone, I have other challenges (executive function, procrastination of anything related to communication). That wouldn’t be anything weird, but even after that realization, I just can’t grasp the fact my schoolmates aren’t stupid and useless. AMA

I don’t think you’ve got a good grasp on what narcissism is. There’s the official diagnosis and the layperson definition and both require externalization. You can’t just think you’re better, you’d feel in your soul that you were better and would use and abuse those around you. Thinking people are worthless is another indicator that you aren’t. If you were one, you’d see the value in those idiots because of how easy they are to exploit.
You’re probably right. This may just be social isolation. The sign of narcissism might be, that I only make friends with people, whose help I could rely on.
