  • Wow thanks. My mother often verbaly attacks me for not showing empathy (for example, when we were watching a shitty movie about a sociopath manipulating and murdering a family, I said I have no empathy for them, as they should have noticed the sighs and got rid of him while they had a chance).

    • Some of these actually describe me:

    • Sense of self-importance - I think, I should be considered above average in intelligence.

    • Preoccupation with power, beauty, or success  - When I describe myself, I make small changes to my behavior and things I say (probably just masking).

    • Entitled - If someone does something to me, I perceive unfair, I make sure they suffer.

    • Interpersonally exploitative for their own gain - only if linked to the last statement

    • Lack empathy - to people I hate or perceive bad.

    • Must be admired - My self esteem falls if nobody tells me i’m significantly above average in something.

    • Envious of others or believe that others are envious of them - I used to envy my classmate, who was described as a genius by the whole class. Later this fell apart as he stopped learning as much. Now, he is percieved as a unsympathetic, self centered person.
