6. So, I had to look up narcissistic personality disorder.

I admit I see some of myself in what I read, but I don't know if that is coincidence or indicative of something. But some of it doesn't fit, either, such as feelings of grandiosity and fantasies about my own success, power, appearance, etc. Believe me, I've always felt like the ugly loser on the bottom of the social ladder. Also, I don't think I'm exploitive, and I can tell you 100% I don't have a lack of empathy.

So kind of a mixed bag. Honestly, I could live without another DX to deal with, but if so, I'd rather know and deal with it than let it fester.

Thoughts?

BTW, I am do going to hate seeing your bill for all of this, it's going to be enormous.
