What would you diagnose me as? ( I'm not mentioning sociopath because I have feelings)

Borderliner

Narcissist

Borderline Narcissist

Malignant narcissist

NT

Aspie

A hard choice..... Id say you have the middleground between aspie and NT. might have some narcisistic tendencies, but i do feel everyone has them from time to time.

AS and 17, dont be hard on yourself

It's generally not considered appropriate to diagnose minors with personality disorders. At 17 I suppose not being an adult is only a technical/legal thing, but given that people with ASDs tend to mature more slowly, I still think any personality disorder diagnosis would be premature. Occasionally, there is someone so very notably manipulative and dishonest, who overtly refuses to examine their own feelings/motives to the point that personality disordered dynamics are pretty obvious, but other than that, trying to even specifically recognize a personality disorder in a member of an online forum seems kinda futile.

I'm not qualified to diagnose you, and even if I was, I wouldn't be able to because I don't have the opportunity to analyze you.

You are what you are.

I don't know, do you think you might be a narcissistic personality disorder?

My question would be what makes you think that?

Judging from what I read, there is lack of empathy, a need for attention and recognition, has grandiose thoughts and delusions, etc. Some of these traits may be experienced by many people who don't have it. I know that often times aspergers can mimic some of these traits found in this disorder. It could be that you have both aspergers and a narcissistic personality disorder. Then again you may have a behavioral disorder that exhibits some of these narcissistic traits such as the border line personality disorder.

If you feel like it's getting in the way of your life, perhaps you might want to get a diagnoses. On the other hand, if you are looking for answers here, you may not get all the right answers since most of us don't know you personally or are trained with this type of diagnosing. I will be honest in saying that some of your posts come off angry. But I don't know exactly what you're going through or why you feel the need to exhibit such behavior. I know with some people, they maybe going through something or have may have other problems exhibiting some narcissistic traits. It's hard to say.

I have no answer to offer. There are aspects of your behavior that lead me to certain conclusions, though nothing concrete as at best they are a set of parameters from which to draw expectations about your actions and words. Moreso, from the options listed in your OP and the responses you've given thus far, it does not appear that you actually want the opinions of others. The behavior displayed has, in my experience, tended to be concurrent with situations where the individual wanted their own views confirmed instead of honest external feedback. If you think you're a narcissist, then that is how you will perceive yourself - regardless of the validity or accuracy of the assessment. So find some comfort with yourself, and stop focusing on the perceptions of others... until then, you will likely continue to experience these swings and frustrations.


M.

That would be a difficult one to answer actually.... I don't think I know much to be honest, I would of thought you have mild AS or something? But then again, that is in my opinion.

guesswork.

An aspie like trust/devotion to analysis, specifics, facts, with a nievity about how to go about things that i would put down to age.

You remind me of me 10 years ago, give me the specifics, stop F'in about with usless crap and answer my damn question, completely writng off anything that didn't meet my critera of relevent to the point, totally focused in a blinkered manner on what i thought was within the boundries of a usefull reply and usefull information. Making wild black and white decisions about life and trashing anyone who disagreed with me or didn't do what i thought they should (thus becuase i have analysed it and most people don't bother, they must be wrong).

My guess is you have some challenge you'll need to overcome but you'll probably grow out of some direct/blinkered/rude/blunt/selfish tendancies and that will help you deal with the true issues underneath.
