When I exchange a greeting and smile with a stranger. I feel a surge of endorphins qnd wondered if that was narcissistic supply. Actually it’s intense loneliness that is momentarily satiated by connecting with strangers for a minute.

I've been so scared that I was a Narcissist because both of my parent's are narcissist... this really helped clear my mind. Thank you

I was accused of being arrogant by a close friend a couple years ago, and it's stuck to me and made me feel guilty ever since, making me fear that I actually am too arrogant/narcissistic, and have hurt people with arrogance, but this video helps me a lot. I've always known deep inside that I was not a narcissist, and just lonely, but this video helps me actually believe it. Thank you <3

Are narcissists generally lonelier in your opinion? What are your thoughts?

Whenever my parents keep saying that I just want to show-off (which I'l admit some are true) despite me having the lowest self-confidence in the family.
I'd constantly talk to myself inside my room saying "I'm not showing off. I just like hearing someone genuinely enjoy what I do since I beat myself up every single day"

Grew up with a narcissistic parent, and have been checking myself for such behavior to see how much of it I carry. This video tells me I'm more lonely than narcissistic. *breathes*

Be proud of yourself.
You went through every type of pain, family issues, trust issues, heartbreak, insecurities, depression, etc. You went through it all alone, but never gave up....

After seeing this video, i understood once i was actually a narcissist. After doing real bad actions that ended up with bad separation, i learned how to behave; and at all, this video actually described me in every inch... For what i think this guide is truly professional, but who am i to say that? I'm not a psycologist!

Going through the long and messy process of breaking contact with an abusive and narcissistic family, and this video explained some things I needed explaining.

I don't want admiration, i don't even accept it. I always think I'm not as good as i need to be. I always feel that someone else is better and it sometimes lead to overworking myself (mentally and physically)

This is great. Thank you. I've struggled with the thought of being a narcissist because of my ex-wife but I'm just lonely... I'm certain being deaf is a huge part of it because it's very difficult to connect with groups of people I can't comprehend, follow, the conversations. Thank you.

Recently I’ve been feeling like I don’t care much about anything like I don’t have the energy to be truly happy about anything or angry or sad but I feel like I’ve had very self-centered thoughts. I wouldn’t say I am better than anyone nor do think that at all but I’ve just felt so weird recently and it feels like there’s never enough serotonin flowing through my body.

A few months ago, back in July, I thought I was a narcissist just because I was jealous of between like, one of my friends. I didn’t want to feel that way, I really didn’t. Few months after that, I came to the conclusion that I was just lonely. This was very comforting to watch, and this helps a lot. Thank you very much

I needed this video, can't wait to watch it. I'm always debating whether or not it's true that 98% of the people that have been in my life have treated me like garbage, or if it's me that's the problem for thinking that way, which then leads me into going for self-isolation, where it feels the most safe. But then I replay every second in my mind of each interaction I've ever had with those people, and it makes me realize that I need to have more mercy for myself. Time for a change in the energy I surround myself with.
