Hello guys, I have a question regarding my mentality. So I am generally a very nice guy and easy to get along with unless we do not get along or there is a problem. So to get to my question if I am remotely a narcissist, I will give you some examples that maybe I am mildly narcissistic. Whenever I get rejected by a guy I really want, I tend to get angry in my mind and take my anger out on them without actually doing it. There was a guy that we went on three dates, I thought he was the one and then he rejected me saying he can't do the relationship but yet he is on a dating site. He stopped talking to me, and I developed a deep hatred for him, It was hard to take no. I suddenly had thoughts where I wish he could see we would be at least good f**k buddies. But obviously my desires don't matter in his case. Here is another example. At work there is a girl/training manager whom I find so shallow and just rude. She isn't very nice to me and I constantly have this theory she's a power hungry b***h and she's friends with one of the regular workers and is a favortist. I wish i could be in authority at my work but obviously that ain't happening. I feel like I would get what I want if I was really much more attractive and know I could easily attract anyone. I really want to be in a metal band and I feel like I would be somewhat fixated on how I think something should sound like. I had these thoughts where I feel like I can manipulate people and my environment if I ever wanted to, but I have feelings and so do other people (I care about). The people I dislike, some of them deserve my anger but I never followed through with anything. I am an abrasive person and really like stuff to be my way. Any thoughts? I'm not a full blown narcissist, A lot of these emotions are internalized.

Narcissist is thrown around in very loose ways these days, so loosely that it's beginning to translate to "a slur label for anyone I don't like and want to put down".

Try having a look at real aspects of narcissism by Googling "Narcissistic Personality Disorder Cluster B" or "men with NPD" though women can be just as bad. There are lots of accessible websites which have very good information.

Hint: no narcissists ever ever ask the question you did, unless it is part of a plan to manipulate someone to their own benefit. You don't sound like that at all.
